That's a great fix , & fit ! It is nice to find some of the old small independent stores still around that have nos implements , & repair parts , & that was a nice find , & it should hold up for a long time ! Looks like M-F 32 sickle bar mower is going thru that Johnson grass , Like a hot knife thru butter ! & as usual I enjoy seeing the M-F 50 doing what they do best working ! Thanks for update , & video.
Good to see you were able to fix the problem quickly and found a local store to purchase the swath board. I’ve owned two sickle bar mowers over the years, both 3 point hitch, and these were both a love-hate situation. The first was a John Deere model pitman rod model that just took for ever to adjust and the last one was a New Holland Model 451 wobble box version that was ok but it just took forever to hookup. I’m glad you have one you are comfortable with and appears to do a fine job. Thanks for sharing.
That's doing a great job! The replacement board on my mower has a tendency to bunch the grass. Then those bunches like to plug the conditioner. Doesn't look like that's much of an issue with yours.
