I need the dimensions for the Pitman arm so I can make a couple for my broken ones. Could someone measure one for me please?
TIA

Miles: It is important to know what style pitman you have. The early style used a ball swivel that clamped over the knife head ball with a bolt, nut, and leaf spring setup, while the later style used a coil spring that fit in the end of the pitman to hold the swivel halves tight on the knife head. The early style is the simplest, and you could probably work out the correct length with some careful measurements of your mower, and after that it wouldn't be hard to make up a pitman that would work just fine. The later style might be more sensitive... |

This is the type of sickle mower I have, it does not have the bearings on the ends.
7 foot mower.

Miles: I'm confused by your reply. Do you mean that you have none of the hardware that bolts to the wooden stick, or do you mean to say that you don't have a twin wheel drive mower that uses ball bearings in the pitman? Here are pictures of the early and late style pitmans that used wooden sticks:
