Thanks. A good read. I will dig into the mower a little deeper when I get off later this week. Working night shift right now and getting too old for this stuff. Bad to the bone when I was 25....now just old broken down bones at 61 (soon to be). I needed to find out what I have before digging into the gearbox.
Do you know who makes this?

I found this thread and it is identical. For some reason I cannot copy that photo to paste in here. It's not named properly for a pic file. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/358766-big-bee-agri-five-rotary.html

In the first pic, the long bar that goes from the 3 point upright to the back, just in front of the tail wheel housing, is just attached by a chain at the rear. Is this supposed to be more like a free floating 3 point attachment?
On my old 4' cutter, it is a rigid mount and I used limiter chains to keep the height, when going over rougher ground.

Here it is, it belongs to Joe13:
Yes most brush hogs have linkage or a chain that allows the back to be able to raise up without forcing the 3 point lift arms to move up.

I found an old picture of my box blade, which was the same brand as my brush cutter. It was Huskee brand from TSC.

There needs to be some slack in that top link flatbar. I'm guessing he was getting that slack by fastening it with a chain at the back. It's not always had that luxury. that's obvious by the places on that flatbar where the paint is gone. This is where it has bent previously cracking the paint.
I'm also a bit concerned about the height of the 3pt pins? Are you sure your tractor will lift it high enough. Looks like it's been cut and changed at some time. Maybe elevated so a "taller" tractor could use it??
I wouldn't do anything with the gearbox until I had it useable in regards to the hitch and top link.
Unless you plan to use this cutter extensively, I'd not worry about replacing the gearbox seal. I'd do just what he did and pump it full of grease.
Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

I bet you could remove the lift pins & move the into the lower holes at the bottom where it attaches to the deck.
I wouldn't worry about the chain at all & leave it be. Make sure it fits & you can lift it, pump the gearbox part way full (don't want to fill it full for the usual expansion reasons) of grease then let er rip.
