Hey I found on the back of my property all grown up in briars and covered a McCormick-Deering No. 7 horse drawn mower all rusty of course with the pittman arm rotted but I slipped it in gear and the gears all moved when I moved it around and the flywheel moved. Can you use one on these with the 8N? If so would I be able to refurbish the missing wooden pittman arm? It sure would make cutting these brias easier as the thing has got to have 6 foot cycle bar on it.

Overon page 2 on the implement bord ther is someone who just came cross a JD with tractor gearing and is apparently looking for a McCormick.Sounds like he may be able to tell you how to control it from the tractor seat.

I don't remember what model McCormick that we had but that was my first experience with a mower. Just remember, the guy sitting behind you is inhaling the fumes from a rear exhaust. My dad put a piece of flex pipe over the exhaust pipe and routed the exhaust down by the right wheel.
The other problem for a 10 year old (me) was the foot pressure on the pedal to raise the sickle bar. Talk about hurt! Was I abused? Nah-h-h.

I would suppose that any competent woodworker should be able to make you a new pitman arm. I would probably use OAK. :})

Your oak pittman would break pretty quick as oak is brash. Hickory is the wood of choice for pittman arms for the same reason it is the wood of choice for tool handles. It is tough.

Yea, I agree. Trouble is I would have to order 300 bd. ft. as minimum purchase. Where-as, I have oak left from another job. :})
