After years of keeping my eye out I finally found an old Johnson Sickle Servicer locally for cheap. It's definitely used but has plenty of life left in it. New ones are about $500 and you can still get replacement parts. Anyone else used one?

| I bought 1 at a consignment auction. Musta been worn out. After numerous attempts to get it to work, I went to bolt on everything. Tossed it on a load of scrap that summer. Good luck with yours. |

Used one back in the 80's. The guy I drove Gleaner MH2 combines had one. We rebuilt combine knifes several times in the 7 years. With the bolt on sections today not much need of one.
 Unless you want to stay old school with rivets. Then it becomes valuable. |

That's the best tool ever for working on knives. I saw one used about 20 years ago and after that, I just had to have one. After a couple years, I got one at a dealer close out. You can almost fix a single broken section with them as fast as using the tool to do it in the mower and if you want to redo a completer knife it's as slick as melted butter. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| i too only use bolted on ones anymore, even if they come with rivets, easy to change over to bolt on. |

I have a few complete bars to redo and they certainly are the ticket for that. Sometimes the bushings and plates, rivet punches, etc. get worn out after a lot of use but you can buy new ones. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |
