I too am having problems with an 864/sms-42-a. Missing the travvel mount mentioned above and rod-lift part # 3495. My bigger problem is finding where the rod-lift fits into assembly frame (weld) # 1954. Thanks for any advice you may have, I just can't figure it out.

there should be a 3/8" hole on the back side of the welded frame where the pulleys mount for the belt to the gear box for the lift hook remove the 4 small bolts and front cover to put a cotter pin in the lift rod

I have a extra travel hook and mount for $40.00 plus shipping if you need one

Serial # A-19750 on the mower, if that helps. There's NOT a hole in the assembly frame that I can find. Thanks

Going to look for that 3/8" hole right now. Thanks

Unless it's one that's used for something else, I don't believe it's there. If I can get the thing out of the dirt I'll be interested in that travel mount. I really appreciate your time. And I have no idea where that line through my previous post came from.

I just went out and looked at mine I have two with the 3/8" hole and one without and your right the one without the hole

I do not know how the lift rod attaches

That makes me feel better, I think. Can you give me a rough guess as to where to drill a hole to get it in the approximate area? I want to put this thing to work, but it's a go no further as it stands now. Need one tooth (section) that I was planning on having made by a fabricator friend of mine, 2 new belts, Wobble box seems tight, the assy frame needs a little tweaking as the pull up to travel position bar is sloppy. The tractor itself is as good as I could ask, after a week of work. I'm done worrying about it for today. Have a great week.

I just realized that I called my tractor an 864, when we all know it's an 854, made in 1964. I apologize for that egregious error. Now I'm going to bed.

_{I'm now convinced mine is a sms-42, without the lift rod. My plan is to alter it into a 42-A. Brian, I discovered your 854/sickle project earlier, fantastic job, and the pictures really help. I have the mower disassembled to a point that I can work with it. Al.}

[buckrancher 2,694]

I will see if I can get a pic of the hole and location for you

Brian

Thank you so much. I also saw your stainless steel tractor pictures. Outstanding job! Have a great afternoon.

Hole size is 3/8"
