No chain loop required if you don't plan on utilizing a safety chain

Thanks for the info on this. Looking forward to the finished photos.

Work in progress. I did hook the mower up and it appears to be moving very nicely on the hitch. I had to make a new PTO, the original was too short, so once I finish installing the sickle and guards, I will get it hooked up and running and get some pictures.

Well, it works. Finished repairing the mower, except for the busted flange, but it still functions, just a little tricky to put into transport mode. Cut a swath of grass to test it out too and check the turning. So far so good.

Congratulations. I realize viewing photos can be deceptive. Do you have your tractor drawbar set where center of implement attaching hole is 14'' from end of tractor pto shaft? Distance in photo appears more than 14''s

 

[ACDII]

14" by the book.

So the drawbar is 14 from the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the pin hole? Plus 8” from the center of the pin hole to the center of the pin?

Exactly
