TP from Central PA Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 2 hours ago, TN Hillbilly said: What is SCH? Heaven compared to what is there stock.................No screwing around with that setup, put it on and it works. Put it on a 920 Deere head once, convinced me if I ever have anything with sickles on it, that setup is going on there. I think it would be really nice on a haybine.

lightninboy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Once had a SCH sickle. Went back to OEM sickle with B- sections sharpened daily. Just because a section looks serrated on top doesn't mean it's sharp enough for prairie grass and the duller the sickle the more load on the drive.

560Dennis Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just as important as the sections , replace sections and ledger plate , that old mower will come alive 2 1/2 to 4 mph depends . You can hardly here it ,like a baby rattlesnake! Quiet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Man Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 We had Deere number 5 and number 8 mowers when I was growing up. We had a tool for laying a sickle in to remove and replace sections, and to lay guards in to remove and replace ledger plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedar farm Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I use the Crary self adjusting spring loaded hold downs. Both on my bean head and sickle mower. It makes a world of difference keeping that knife down tight on the guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
801486 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I remembered the tool we had for riveting ledger plates when I saw this post,but didn't know if I still had it or where it was. I found it in the old shop today. You clamped it in the vise to hold the guard while you riveted the ledger plate in. Let's just say I was happy when we got double guards without ledger plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
