    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    The knife back is pretty flat now. It was bowed about 3-4 " up on the ends compared to the middle. That might explain why it had so many little aluminum shims. Is everything adjusted with shims and wear plates or can I bend the guards?

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    I think the parts diagram calls it the back knife. It's the thin bar with the sections bolted/riveted to it. When I take just that bar with the sections on it, completely separate from the machine, and set it on the ground oriented like it would be after you attach it to the machine, it does not...

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    I have a couple more questions (and there will probably be more). Should the section bar be flat from end to end or should there be a bow in it. Mine's probably a few inches higher on the ends than in the middle when it sits on the ground loose. Do you use a tool for the rivets or just hammer...

    Thanks for your help! On hold until I can get to TSC. Is that first partial section supposed to be sharp? Mine's mostly worn out if so.

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    I think I understand the problem now. I've been trying to get the rivets/bolts that go through the head to go through the spring and the knife bar. Your second photo shows that your head rivets only go through the spring. And your spring doesn't have rivets that go through it and the knife bar...

    Or is it that your first blade, (that rectangular shaped blade) has only one rivet going through it? Is the innermost edge of it hanging over the inner most edge of the knife bar? I never thought when I pulled this apart a couple years ago that I would need to photograph it before hand.

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    Look at my photo and noticed the red circle. You appear to have a 4th hole in the end of your knife bar that I don't have at that red dot location. It goes through the middle (approximately) of your first section. My mower never had a section with a hole near the middle. Am I wrong? I'm still...

    The spacing on mine between the last head hole and what I would call the third section hole is 7-3/8. But the two holes that come before that hole are smaller diameter. Are they not section holes?

    So sections are the teeth. Learn something every day.

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    Thanks for the part diagram. I can't make out the numbers on it. I'm assuming that the head is the part that is on the drive housing right now, it has 3 holes in it. The spring is the steel bar that connects the head to the knife bar. The knife bar is the steel bar that all the blades are bolted...

    MF #41 Sickle mower blade replacement

    I'm trying to connect the blade bar to my MF-41 and can't find a photo anywhere on the internet that shows how the holes line up between the bar, link and blades. I think the link I have (black in the photo) may not be original and may be why I'm confused. It doesn't line up the way I would...
