In Reply to: New Split Sickle Knife posted by James Howell on August 21, 2018 at 07:57:54:
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!
