Sickle head ID

David from Kansas · Nov 8, 2019

Have this sickle head and no use for it. It appears to be NOS. The only identification I can find on it are the number 100207 and another which is hard to read the first digit, appears to be 901041 but the 9 is not clear and could be a 3 or 8. It is 18.5" overall and the bearing end, which has two snap rings, is 1-5/8" in diameter. Any help on what this might fit is appreciated.

I think that would be for a Ford 501 or 515 sickle bar mower

Definitely not for a Ford 501/515. They used a ball pitman rod mount

Odd the one I had used that type not a ball type

Hmmm... I`ve used about half a dozen 501's over the years (my granddad`s was old enough it was red) and they were all ball/socket types. I wonder if yours had some kind of conversion on it

It's not for a Ford 501 0r 515.

Ford 501 is pitman drive.

515 has a wobble box. Knife is driven by a bolt that runs through a bearing in the wobble box drive arm into the knife.

Looks to be a hart carter generation 3 floating cutter bar drive head would be used on several brands of combines.
