You can look at this a couple of ways. Your clips should allow the bolts, or riviets to pass under and to work. There are extra height clips just for allowing bolts to pass through. That kit looks pretty slick. Now if you know about sickle bars then don't read any further. I had to make a custom knife and this is how I did it. Now here is where we get crazy. Go to your local metal supply place and pick up a section of steel strap. Trying to remember if it is 1/8 or 3/16 thick. The width is 1/2 or 5/8 wide. Made my own for a Gravely like 3 or 4 years ago. You collect all of the parts you need and take the old knife and grind all or the rivets out. Remove the knife sections, vice grip the old and new bars together as a guide and start drilling holes. It takes some time but it really isn't that bad. When done you have a perfect fit custome made knife. One thing is you need to learn how to rivit correctly. If done correctly the rivits will look like little metal toad stools. They are SOOOO tight that a bolt wouldn't come close. See if you can find a friend with an anvil and knows how to rivit. Have fun!

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
