Weeks back I posted about problems I had lest year with my pull behind, ground driven sickle bar. Several people gave me good advice for help and I want to start off by thanking everyone for the advice. I went over the unit and the gaurds are not worn too badly and all of the gaurds and hold downs are tight (and were still from last year). I did determine that the blade does need to be sharpened. I did however come up with a few new questions.

I have seen some people talk about serated blades. The blades on this does not have serations, however some of the gaurds have pieces in them on the bottom cutting edge that are serated, but not all of them. Are they all supposed to have these and the ones missing possibly broke off or is this the way it was made? If it is supposed to have these on all of the gaurds, can they be replaced (if I can actually find replacement ones)? Some people said about watching my speed when cutting. Can anyone suggest about how fast to pull it at. I am pulling with and A-C B so I do not have a tach. or speedometer so I can only guess at the speed based on what the manual gives for each gear at a given rpm, even though I have no way of knowing what my rpms are. Finally, how often do the blades need to be sharpened and how sharp do they need to be?

Knives slice a piece of paper just holding in and speed just what would be a slow walk, remember this was built for a horse that the man walked behind when doing most field work in the early days, if you would have to walk fast enough to make you tired that is too fast, and smooth sections and ledger plates are only for certain types of soft grass, for any type of hard stem grass or weeds you need the serated plates and sections with the double section on the end, that was not made when your mower was but is a big help, you also have to have the lead of the bar set corectly and the faster the speed the more it will want to drag the whole mower sideways and you loose that lead. I have a Big 6 McCormic just for show along with a No. 4, Big 4, and No. 7 and I grew up with a David Bradly and a John Deere No. 2, both hores drawn
