The mower and I!
I helped with replacing all these parts. I remember using a brace and bit for drilling holes in the tongue. They had to be right on target. Guard s, teeth, allof it. We had a blacksmith in Brunswick, Mo.. So handy when making repairs. When I was smaller, I would actually ride on the tongue, my back against the mower seat. I knew exactly what you were talking about your mower videos. Enjoying your videos,l rodee the tongue long enough to get to the field. Also the rubber on the pitman rod, good idea. They were noisy. I enjoyed it all. Keep up the good work.
Also, we had rubber tires on our mower, and 2 half concrete blocks chained to seat. Took tongue weight off the horses.
I wish I had rubber tires on mine. Thanks for watching
Another great video Jim.
I don’t know how you remove the sickle sections from the bar but allow me to tell you how I do it. Using a good vice and close it so you can slide the bar through the vice, barely tight. Have your sections facing down. When a section is in the middle of the vice give the section a good swift hit with a heavy hammer. That will shear of the rivets, then slide the bar to the next section and repeat. In a matter of minutes no more sections on your bar. Then your ready to install the new sections. Sine they came out with the screws I really like them better than the rivets. I used to punch the rivets out until an old timer showed me that trick. It really works good.
I take them off exactly the same way, it does work wonderful! Thanks for watching!
Good video, it's amazing how well a mower works when set up and tuned. A farmer I worked for would warn us guys hunting to retrieve our arrows because the aluminum not a problem but the braudheads made of hard steel really raise havick on the mower. Yes, my Brother warned me about those cutters shifting while raising and lowering the cutter arm and to use your palms and keep your fingers back, or like you do keeping your fingers on the bar side opposite the knives. Yicks....
I LIKE THE WAY YOUR TEAMS WORK TOGETHER. THE VIDEOS ARE VERY INSTRUCTIONAL SHOWING THAT FARMING STILL CAN BE DONE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. MAY GOD BLESS.
Thanks for your encouragement!
Never mess with the sickle bar with the team hitched.
Enjoy watching you work with your horses. You have two nice looking and working teams.
Thanks very much!
Those knives are shiny and sparkly! I hope you’re able to pass on your knowledge and skills and keep the old ways alive. I love seeing your farm and the beautiful blue skies. Looks like paradise.
Thanks for watching. We do love it here
Very interesting. Thank you. LOve the way you and the horses work together as a real "team."
After the disconcerting evening news it is always reassuring to see that there is also a saner world out there, and it is on horse-powered farms like yours, Jim and Brenda. I have never sharpened serrated knives, only exchanged them, not my favorite work on the farm, though. I use a dolly wheel on my mower.
Agreed, the news is disconcerting! Glad for a quiet life with the horses as you probably are. Thanks for watching
Jim, I love horses.I love them at work, and they love it too. They are very smart, smarter than people think of them. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Yes, they are intelligent animals, smarter than people think
I love to watch your horses. They bring back so many found memories of working with my grandpa in Mississippi on his farm.
Thanks for watching, glad it brings back good memories!
Always look forward to Friday especially now that you post videos then. You are great at explaining things. The long flat land you have up there is amazing.
Thanks for watching! Yes we have some nice flat fields in the north country
Usual big thanks Jim for a top vidieo
Best Regards UK

Hello Jim and Brenda.
Hello Anthony!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, hi Jim and Brenda
Hello Pocket Change
Good day Yes those cutter bars always scare me when lifting up for transport. Thanks
Yes, they deserve respect for sure
Jim as always wonderful video , where do you get the new parts for those mowers ? i have a McCormick Deering Mower that was my Grandfathers and would like to fix it up and use it again , any help would be greatly appreciated , thank you .
I have an Amish guy close by that I get supplies from. Thanks for watching!
The new mower blade is pretty. You can see it’s clearly superior quality. More of the old ways being superior in general.
Yes Sir.
Thanks for the closeup shots. I found this knife change to be complicated. The wrong move could be disastrous. How old are these mowers? Don’t think either of them owe you anything. 🐴🐴
I’ve got my money out of them!
still luvin your channel jim , keep those vids comin...do you guys have any crab grass come in your feilds in the fall down here in ky its really bad this year (hard to cut) good feed for cows though ...i usually wrap it because its so hard to dry
We have some sort of crabgrass, haven’t really noticed that it’s hard to cut here. Thanks for watching, happy haying!
Where state is your farm in?? I guess I wasn't a viewer from the beginning, but sure enjoy blog now!!😊
Thanks for watching, we are in Northern New York
I am restoring a McCormick Deering No 7 mower. I like the idea of bolt on knife sections. Do you need a special type of knife section for a Deering mower (the Deering spares I have seen only offer rivet on knife section), or will a standard combine harvester knife section work? I can get those as bolt on or rivet on?
Do you know whether you need to have 'high arch' knife clips/hold down plates to accommodate the nuts when using bolt on knife sections?
Do you rely on the lock nut to prevent the bolt from shaking loose, or do you add some locktite when bolting the knife sections on?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards, Dominic
The bolts that are used on knife sections are a special bolt you have to buy. They will fit under the regular clips, I believe. And the lock nut usually holds it fine. Good luck
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim thanks
Where did you get the mower knife?
hi jim how r you, where can i get new or old horse drawn sickle bar mover please. i want to import, please can you help. thanks
Its not like seing a horse and teamster.the way they hook and work its more of 3 creature team no yelling shouting every one knows their job .all jims horses make it look easy they so well trained and i think they love jim and respect him as herd leader .

Not sure where you're at, but it seems like it's always cloudy there.
We’ve had a lot of cloudy weather lately but we had a very sunny summer
