When I needed a mounting bracket for my first JD #5 mower many years back (very similar mower to what you have, by the way), I blocked the mower up on the drive using the manual for positioning guidance and then put the tractor where it should be if the bracket were present. Making sure I had everything positioned right I then took careful measurements and using known information regarding what was available at the steel yard I made a drawing of a bracket that would fit the job even if it did not bear a great deal of resemblance to the original. Used it for years and it worked great. Alternative, and you will need to do this anyway if you are planning on using the mower, is to find another mower with the bracket on it and keep it for a parts mower. It is really not pratical to rely on those old pitman mowers for cutting hay unless you have a parts mower to back you up when you get into trouble. BTDT!
