Sickle bar update
Received the new hinge and bracket. The bracket was AC yellow - - -can't have that so after about an hour media-blasting and a day or so waiting for paint to dry, here are the parts, ready to install. But wait! What's that I see on the cutter bar? Is that another wobbled bolt hole? And same thing on the matching hole on the lever assembly. Man. if it isn't one thing it is something else. the fun never ceases. I took the bar and lever to the machine shop where they will drill the holes to a bigger size. I figure all of these wobbles and peened surfaces contributed to the violent shaking, so when this thing is done, you won't even know it is running.
