I am looking forward to getting it restored and cutting a little hay with it. Thanks for all of the valuable input. [Reply]  [No Email]

The photo below shows the upper cover for the #5 mower. The photo below shows the housing and frame. Hope this helps. [Reply]  [No Email]

I rebuild a JD-#9 this last spring and have it on a D-17 [Reply]  [No Email]

The #9 is a 3 point sickle mower with a pitman drive for the bar. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'll be out there in the near future and try to look to be sure [Reply]  [No Email]
