sickle section riviting tool?

????? Been doing it for years. Just takes an old iron shaft. I have both styles of rivets on my various implements, so always thought the machine to be a hassle. Don't remember taking a sickle out for riveting - we modified the combine sickle so it doesn't come out easily with 3 longer sickle sections years ago....

I am moving on to bolts tho, much easier!

And, smack away with that hammer. :)

I guess the tool works great, but at $60 you can about buy a whole new sickle bar. Plus, I see _so_ many of them at auctions with a broken jaw, I wonder about their durability?

I see a few listed in the v alub ilt catalog I just got for $69.99.

Also S houp and a few other catalogs have them for that $65-70 range.

My local R unning's store (like a T SC, which also has them in this range) can get most 7' units for $60 - $75.

I guess inflation has bumped it up $10 since I last purchased any, but still in that range.

Actually I got one for $35 for my mower when the 'Q uality' store went out of business, but that was not a normal situation.

(Had to play with the autocensor again, don't understand that here.)
