John, I recently bought a 25V mower and have been looking it over. I believe that you have a 25V also since the counter spring is along the frame rail. The 25, I think, had a transverse spring, more inline with the cutting bar. There are more diffeences than that, some including the lifting mechanism and belt drive setup. The draw bar mounts look to be identical. I have both manuals and have been flipping through both and comparing over the last few weeks. It looks like many parts are identical. I believe the cutting bar, draw bar brackets, and tail wheel are the same. On an earlier post, some one said something about the 25 having a gear box. I think they both had a belt and eccentric drive with a wood pitman arm. No gear boxes. I found my manuals on eBay a while ago.

On the lifting, I think the lifting chain pulls the cutting bar vertical, and also lifts the bar mechanism off the ground. I have not played with mine yet to see if this is true, but that is how it looks to me. There is supposed to be a ring around the tube with a threadded bar tied to it. The threadded portion goes through a hole in the cutting bar to secure it for transport. I have to create this transport bar and the hydraulic lifts for it, along with a draw bar mounts. I can send photos of what I have to compare.
