Here's some ,  the gear box plate uses atach-o-matic holes in frame. More to come. Rear (pipe) mount attached to rear hitch, mine is missing , but I think Aldon may have got dimensions. In one of his posts, can't find it right now.

Here's rear mount.  I have never had this mounted but appears to just hang under tractor,  front hangs on pin and rear is rubber mounted. Loosen these bolts to aline bracket  (pic 2 )with axle

Money is getting tight this time of year for me. That being said. I have a right angle gearbox I was thinking of using for now. Do you have an idea of what the overall ratio of the original box is and pulley size?

Pully 6in,       32 tooth gear (drive shaft side ) and a 20 tooth gear (pulley side).

First:

part of getting ready for the sickle bar mower. I put the electric clutch on that I repaired and repotted. 

 

Second: 

Freeing up the rusted slip shaft.

I think my measurements might be off.  I think I made my gearbox bracket an inch short somehow. What is the over all length of that bracket?
