BBTO 2 Pack Wood Pitman Arm Replacement Compatible with Ford-Sickle Bar Mower, 14-92, 14-320, 14-339, 501, 149197, 81C44, Durable Steering Knuckle Lever Parts

What It Is

This is a two-pack of wood pitman arms designed as a direct replacement for Ford sickle bar mowers. The pitman arm converts rotary motion from the mower’s gearbox into the back-and-forth action that drives the cutting bar, making it essential for reliable mowing in tall grass, brush, or hay fields.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model against BBTO’s list: Ford 14-92, 14-320, 14-339, 501, as well as OEM part numbers 149197 and 81C44. Measure your original arm’s center-to-center hole distance—these are 10 inches. Check that the mounting holes are 5/8 inch in diameter and that the arm thickness matches your existing part (typically 1 inch). These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM Ford, so confirm your mower uses a wood (not steel) pitman arm. Not compatible with most modern zero-turn or rotary mowers.

Key Things to Know

• Material: Wood construction dampens vibration better than steel but can crack if over-tightened or exposed to moisture. Store dry.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the old arm, aligning new bushings, and torquing bolts to spec (usually 25-30 ft-lbs). No drilling or modification needed if fitment matches.
• Gotcha: The wood may need light sanding if it’s slightly oversized for the yoke. Check for free movement after install—binding will wear the gearbox.
• Durability: Expect 1-3 seasons of heavy use. Keep a spare (you get two) for quick field swaps.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Ford sickle mower and want a reliable, vibration-dampening replacement at a reasonable price for two arms. Skip it if your mower uses steel pitman arms or you need an exact OEM match—measure carefully first.
