I want to mount a #5 mower directly on my 50 drawbar frame.Is there anything I need to know,that isn't listed in the operators manual?

There are several ways in which a #5 mower can be attached to a JD 50. However, it depneds on how your #5 is set up. The most popular for a 50 was the quick-Tach frame on the #5 whitch attached to two stub brackets mounted on the 50 drawbar frame. The #5 Mower Operators manuals shows all the vatrious hook-ups, depending on the year of the publication date of the manual.

If you don't have the corect #5 manual I can post some pictures of the various hook-ups on my picture site.

I have the brackets that bolt to the draw bar mount,just cannot seem to come up with quik tatch parts.So, the alternative was to bolt to the draw bar mount,if I can that is.

I'm sorry I don't understand you response.

I have the #5 mower mounts that bolt to the draw bar mount with the large pins.Just haven't been able to find the quick-tach clamps that bolt onto the mower.

Figured it all out, now have the correct parts to mount the mower quiktach.Now ready to start the the mower resto.
