This is my first posting on the site. I am working on a ford 501 sickle bar mower that I just bought. The pitman arm had been broken and was missing. It looks like I am missing the straps on the end as well. I did a search on google for more info and was steered to this site. Lots of great info. I contacted the woman who sold me the unit and asked her to look around the barn for the parts. I might need some advice putting it all together and might call on the collected wisdom of the members here in a few days.
