Hi Guys. My dad cuts hay on about 15 acres each year. He's had this machine for almost my lifetime and its paid for itself a dozen times already.

Issue now is where the cutter bar joins to the arm. I don't know what to call it. Pictures will show it better. The nut and thread is broken off the top of the threaded piece. Can/should this be fixed? If so - how would you recommend? Dad isn't a welder and neither am I.

He's used it without the nut for a few years, keeping his fingers crossed. The junkyard machines are getting pretty stripped down. He's got another one, but the cutter bar is broken just down the bar a bit (photo of piece sitting on the red 2x6)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Gordo - which gaurds? Do you mean the fork-like pieces that the triangular knives slide through?

You need new guards also. The gap on those is way beyond field useable.

You better order that female bracket the bar bolts into. Odds are you have ruined it running loose bolt in it.

Okay, got it.

I'll go looking for the special bolts. Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on what they're called? sickle bolts? plow bolts...?

Essentially they are just an extra long section bolt. I'd probably just go to the case in dealership. You may pay a little extra but that still won't amount to more than a couple of dollars.

Hi Seth, can the sickle head be bolted onto the sickle bar? Or - does it have to be riveted?

Which hole would be worn? The ball & socket on the bottom, or the hole where the two bolts clamp it tight onto the gearbox piece?

The hole I was referring to was the one with the strap that bolts on. It looks worn in the pick.

Rivets are obsolete. There are special bolts that will quick bolt the head to the actual sickle.

All you need is a new sickle head. The used one on the broken sickle would work if you are on a real budget. However it is likely worn out as well. I always by new sickles with heads included because breaking them is not uncommon.

http://www.shoupparts.com/SA201988/ Here is the complete setup. If you all shoup they should be a to piece out the head only to you. The one problem that you may find is that if you ran it with out the the nut holding it tight, the hole may be worn and you may now have a high probability of breaking more in the future.
