Older Ferguson dyna-balance mower (model 31?)

I have an old Ferguson dyna-balance mower with all gray paint. I call it a 5 point hookup as it mounts to the axles where the swaybar links hook on, also to the top link pivot, and then another part mounts to the 3 point lift arms. I think it is a model 31. I need to remove the knife assembly to repair the part that hooks the knife to the dyna-balance box (cast iron box). I need to clean out the old grease and replace the zerk. I grew up running one of these on an 8N back in the late 60's/early 70's. I remember taking the knife out through the dyna-balance unit numerous times. The mower I have now appears to have a couple of rivets that are blocking the knife from coming out. I found these when I removed the shoe from the bottom of the dyna-balance box. I was planning to remove the entire cutter bar but at this point I don't think it will help. I have downloaded several owners manuals but they are all for the later Massey Ferguson mower. I have had no luck finding a parts manual, service manual, or the correct owners manual.
 
Try contacting Graham Pressman @ Catseye Press in the UK. At one time he could print under license just about anything Harry Ferguson ever made. Seems they have moved on to other pursuits.
 
I pulled my Dad's old mower out of his junk pile today. It's been sitting unused out in the weather for 40 years. It's just like mine and still has the serial number tag on it. I have a model F-EO 20, not a model 31. I was able to find a parts manual and an owners manual on eBay and ordered them. No luck finding a service manual. This is my first time for eBay. I hope it works out. Hopefully I can figure out what those rivets are that are blocking me from removing the knife from my mower.
