Looking for 5015 / 9518 Hitch and Drawbar

[ironbriggs1]

I recently saved a simplicity 9518 from the scrapyard, turns out the engine runs perfect and it shifts through all the gears with no issue.  It has the 48in belly mounted mower deck, and it appears that a previous owner removed the lower 3 point arms and drawbar.  I would like to put those parts back on so I can use rear mounted attachments.  Does anyone have a parts tractor laying around that they would sell those parts off of?  I believe a Deutz Allis 5215 and even some Massey models were the same tractor.  I know this tractor will be hard to find parts for, but it looks like filters and other maintenance parts are still readily available.

Also, does anyone know what size of battery fits behind the grille?  Someone hung a car battery off the side of the frame instead of putting one in the factory location.  I also didn't see any owners or service manuals in the download section, and because this tractor doesn't have a normal simplicity model number I can't find a manual on their site.  Does anyone have any pdf files of manuals?

Thank you!

Why would a tractor that nice end up in a scrap yard...?  Asking rhetorically.  The reason(s) are as varied as the people who owned these things.

Have to find out who made it for Simplicity.  I am thinking Japanese.  I am pretty sure Bolens branded one were Iseki?

 

Maybe someone with actual knowledge will chime in, instead of me guessing.

Found this info, and more on engine specs etc.

+ 1 on Bills contacts, have dealt with both.

Not a PDF but found this on tractordata.com , so at one time they had something available:

Thank you for those MFG numbers Bill!  I was able to download the owner's manual and that was really helpful.  Unfortunately, the parts manual that downloads from those numbers is actually for the 5020/9523 tractors, as evidenced on the decals page and showing a 2 cylinder engine.  Not a big deal as I have been using the agco parts website under the 5015 model.

I was able to locate the 3 point arms from a salvage yard.  They did not have a drawbar, but I have some old plow iron laying around that I could use to make my own.  Does anyone have a 5015 that they could measure the drawbar length and hole placement for me to copy?

Keep looking, a three point straight draw-bar ought to be pretty common.
