Sickle mower blade replacement
- Thread starter Rusty red
- Start date
You can, but you'd have to replace the hold downs with the higher arch style like the one at the pittman end. Someone will probably post bolt size.
There is a tool called a Johnson Sickle Servicer which both removes and sets the new rivets. There may be someone close to you that has one...if you decide to go with rivets instead of bolts.
Hi,
I looked online, and that number is evidently a knife for a John Deere mower.
If they are all that number on your mower, someone may have put in a John Deere knife bar, unless they drilled holes in the IH knife bar so the knives would fit.
Below is the operator's manual with the Cub 22 Mower in it. The manual has info for 3 different mowers, used on 3 different models of IH tractors.
It has cutter bar info, the method tmays wrote above for removing knives from the knife bar is in the manual.

If your knife bar is the wrong one, Webb Cutting Components, their new name, it says, has new knife bars, complete with serrated knives for IH sickle bar mowers. They show 5 foot ones, with riveted or bolted on knives, and with or without the knife head, for IH mowers.
Below is the page, if you want to look at it. The knife bars are down the page some, they have different length knife bars.
It doesn't say they are for a Cub 22 mower, you could ask them before buying I guess.
I think other people on here have used them, but not sure.

After replacing a knife on a knife bar, or many knives, check to see that the knife bar is straight before putting it in the mower.
I hold the bar with one end at eye level, and the other end on the floor, and sight down the bottom side of it, have plenty of light to see it.
It should be straight, up and down, and forward and back. Bend it so it is straight, if needed.
