Oliver Horse Mower Sections

Traditional Farmer · Jul 5, 2014

Friend of mine is restoring an Oliver Horse mower and the sickle sections are narrower than any mower sections we've seen and have checked around with places like Webb Sickle Service and can't find any.
Does anyone know where a few of these sections can be bought?

My comments probably won't help you get the sections you need but here is a bit of history on the mowers with the narrow (2 1/2 inch) sections. In 1935 Oliver introduced the "clip-cut" horse drawn mowers with the narrow sections. The claim at the time was: Clip-Cut action is 10- to 15 percent easier. My source for this info is a 1936 Oliver ad in Alan King's Advertising History.
My personal experience with Oliver started in 1946 with the Model 21 and Model 22 tractor drawn mowers which used the common 3" sections
