I'm doing a lot of work on a IH 31 sickle mower. I just got the thought today; would the new double, narrow rock guards bolt in place of the old, wide style? Would it help any, or should I just replace the ledger plates on the old one? Also, where does one find ledger plates for the inner and outer shoes? Thanks for any and all info. Rich

I replaced all the guards on my IH 100 with the JD guards that have no ledger plates. I also replaced all the hold down clips and ware plates. I don't know how the bar on the 100 compares with your mower. Another thing you may want to consider while making this change is going to the stubby guards. I understand that they are the cats meow for cutting thick stuff.

If your dealer is little help, try sickleservice.com or Rowse. Through Rowse or other companies you can get hold down clips that have an tension adjustment via an integral bolt. Rowse make new mowers based on either NH or the balanced head IH.I have no experience with IH, but I converted my AC to NH double guards with no ledger plates, and it was a big improvement- less plugging and more resistant to being pulled down.

Have never used new style guards. They will wear faster than old style.

Don't forget to get spacers that fit under the clips. Helps to keep knives in contact with the guards.

The new style guards are throw away.

Not had any experience with IH sickle mower, but at least for my JD the inner and outer plates are available through dealer. Regular ledger plates should be available at dealer or at farm supply places. I don't know about the other style rock guards, would have to give one a try I guess.
