A-21 Sickle Mower Questions

I just bought a nice A-21 sickle mower for my Super A. First question is there is a bar that almost looks like a rockstaft that appears to slide into the holes near where the mower bolts to the upper final drives and has a small square welded to it. What is this used for? Also, I have the mower hooked up to the touch control with the long rod and it raises the whole mower up and down nicely to change the cutting height but the cutter bar doesn't fold all of the way up like in the transport position. It is just flat and about a foot off the ground. Should it fold up when the mower is raised, or do you have to manually open and close it with the rod and nut? I know I need a manual for adjustments, but theses are just some quick questions after playing with it today. Boy, what a bear to mount it the first time! Thank you.

1) the lift is doing its job as it should. Transport position with the rod to secure it means raising it by hand, keeping one's fingers WELL clear of the sections and guards.

The 21 can be a bear to mount. It will go better if you rig up the stands on it -- you can probably find the points for them , but a manual will help. Dismount it to stands resting on blocks on stable ground and the remounting will go a lot easier.

The cam you're seeing is called the attaching cam. Apart from its name, I don't find a reference to how to use it. It might be that you can use it with enough chain to bind wrapped around to lift and lower to take some of the ugly off of mounting it.
 
I also have a question on the pto shaft. How long should the shaft be? I know it is a slide shaft, but the shaft I have won't come close to fitting because it is too long. Other than this the mower is in nice shape. Thank you
