Sickle Bar John Deere N. 5 sickle mower.

[Bill R]

Does anyone have any experience converting a JD no. 5 sickle mower over tho 3PT hitch and using a hydraulic cylinder to lift the bar. I missed a set of brackets for the hydraulic cylinder on ebay. Can I still buy /order items for this from JD? I have been out of farming for a while and just getting back in.(Finally). Thanks Bill
