I got one of these off of marketplace and some of the sickles are broke and seems pretty dull . I've seen these double sickle sections before at farm and home stores. I was going to replace all of the sections.
My dad bought one from Troy-bilt new a VERY long time ago...I still have and use it but the teeth and bar itself cannot be purchased anymore from them. I did find an "aftermarket" replacement but it was extremely expensive-currently working with a machinist to to make a top and bottom bar that uses a more standard "tooth" size where each tooth is removable (like standard tractor sickle bars and the old Jari style mower) that is readliy avail so I can replace teeth as needed...
Hi Ben😊 Is it good idea lubricate the teeth? Oil and grease collecting dirt and Sand Than stuck between the base and upper teeth. What is your opinion? 😂
Well, mostly cutting grass and hay, so I'm not overly worried about sand...dirt, maybe a bit, but it being oily makes it much better than dry blades, even with no sand or dirt, rubbing together...that's a sure bet way to wear it out. I'd keep the oil to it and service it often.
It totally is better for string mowing for haying, and I don’t think you can adjust the speed, but it’s the middle of winter and I might not be remembering right.
@@RedBarnHomestead If it is cutting- it is cutting right. Mine operates and cuts the same as yours. billybobs post is too cryptic to know WTH he is even talking about.
