First sickle bar!

Recommended Posts

I bought this sickle bar a couple weeks ago and figured out the bottom drive pulley was backwards so I tried heating it up and it still wouldn’t come off. And yes I took both of the set screws off. And we put a puller on it and bent the pulley all up. So we found a pulley that is the same thing and put it on the right way and it works good. I just need to get a bigger belt and lube it all up. It’s a 50” too. I can’t wait to use it a lot. Any tips on running it or anything else.

Should never really run it over 1/2 throttle - that wobble box drive cannot withstand moving any faster without committing suicide...and be careful hitting any hard objects not to mention keep any kids well away from it .

Ok. I have a farmall cub sickle bar so I know how to run them pretty much. You wouldn’t believe what I paid for this sickle bar!

And can I use my regular pto setup or do I have to run the small pulley like I have there.
