I'm trying to locate a device that enables one to change a knife on a sickle bar, without having to remove the whole cutter bar. Somebody said that they have something that removes the rivet, and compresses a new one through a new knife while its still within the sickle bar. Any info would be great. Thanks,

Dan

I have replaced all the rivets in my NH 451 sickle mower with little bolts with self-locking nuts. The bolts have little splines that lock into the bar and you just tighten the 7/16" lock nut on top. They are available from NH. I like them much better than rivets - no grinding, no hammering.

I would second comments below. I carry a short piece of rr iron in tool box, remove guard, chisel off rivits, knock out old ones and put in new. Put iron under rivit and mushroom top. Tool is easier but more expensive so depends upon how many you need to change that way. If doing before or end of season maintance easier to just take bar out.

As stated, they run about $60 at most farm supply stores.

I use a steel shaft & a hammer. I remove the guard, angle grind off or drill out the rivets, put a steel shaft under the new rivet/ sickle, and mushroom the top with a good hammer. Works fine, saved $60.

This tool should be at most good farm supply
houses or tractor dealers. I have one made by
Smith Tool and it works very easily. I find you
have to remove the finger or stone guard to get
at the section to replace it. I find it just as
easy as the nut and bolt type that everyone is
now promoting. The tool is not cheap, I paid $55
some years ago, but it's well made for years of
service and parts are replacable on it.
