MOWER SECTIONS 



N filling a sickle bar there are two ways to 

 remove the old sections. One way is to 

 punch the rivets out, but in every case 

 where the back of the section sticks out 

 over the sickle bar they can be removed 

 easier in this way : Just open the vise enough to receive 

 the section, then strike with the hammer on the back 

 of the section, and this blow will cut the rivets off. 

 You can cut out ten to one by this method to any other. 

 Sometimes the sickle bar is bent out of shape in the 

 fitting. To straighten it place the sickle on the anvil, 

 sections down ; now strike with the hammer so that it 

 will touch the bar only on one half of its face, the blow 

 to be on the inner side of the curve.
