If you can find a copy of John Deere's Care and Repair of Farm Equipment, or Shop Work on the Farm, these books both have a preety good description of sickle bar maintainance. Tis may not be the exact title of the John Deere book, but should be close enough to find it by.

I will say that in any kind of good going, I would rather run one than a brush hog any day. They can be really frustrating when they don't work right, and it seems as if I have spent almost as much time fixing and fiddling as I have mowing. I mow about 50 acres a year for myself and other people, as well as trimming around 80 acres of hay land. I also do some brush hogging, but as I said before, not if I can help it.
