JD mower #5 Pitman rod

[R Kent]

I am looking for a picture of an assembled pitman rod for a John Deere Mower #5. I would like to see one assembled to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Thank you for sending me those pics of the assembled pitman. I attached mine to the mower leaving off the spring release. What is the purpose of the spring release? What's it do? It's pretty cool to see my #5 about ready to mow! It's assembled from parts from 3 different 5's...Thanks again, kent
