NH 451 End Sickle Section

Which one of these end sections would work best on a New Holland
451 mower. The odd one looks like it would be too long and only 2 of
the 3 rivets could be used.

Either one will work.A question how many sections does the blade have on it? When I get those NH blades they have 29 sections which the way any other sickle bar works it only needs 28 on a
7ft blade to work right.So I knock off the last 2 sections mount a 3 hole end section and then take a cutter and cut off the piece of blade still sticking out.Blade then works and cuts like it should.
 
Never had a New Holland mower so don't know if something special about them. The narrow one is not an end section but to replace all the others on the bar. The wide is a normal ens section and only takes the place of one standard section and it does stick out a bit beyond end of bar but that is designed to be that way and they work great. Used them for years. A 7 ft bar should have 27 of the narrow section and one of the wide section as a 7' mower would have come from factory with 28 of the standard 3" sections. And the others the factory could not buy them to put on a mower, both designed by afternarket companys because of cutting problems. But we never used a top serated section on a hay mower only underserated as that was designed for hay being a wet stem and top serated were designed for combines for a dry stem such as wheat stem or a soybean stem.
 
So I can rivet the 3 hole end section on with only 2 rivets and leave the end hole open? Which leaves the section extra long on the end.
I will do that if it cuts good and keeps the end from clogging up.
Am I understanding this correctly?
 
That is correct, ran them that way for years, but don't have very good luck trimming close to fence posts with that end sticking out....
