Description
When you’re rebuilding mower sections or fixing a busted knife head out in the field, you need rivets that’ll hold up to the constant vibration and stress of cutting. These #5-1/2 oval head rivets are specifically designed for knife sections and give you that secure, permanent connection that keeps your cutting edge sharp and ready.
What You’re Getting
- Proper #5-1/2 diameter (.211″) for a snug fit in standard knife section holes
- 1-1/4″ length gives you the reach needed for thick sections and guards
- Oval head design distributes stress evenly and won’t snag on grass or debris
- Box of approximately 74 rivets – enough for multiple section repairs
- Quality steel construction that handles the beating of field work
Built for Real Farm Work
These rivets are made for attaching knife sections to mower bars on hay equipment, rotary cutters, and disc mowers. Whether you’re running a sickle bar mower through thick alfalfa or cutting roadside brush with a rotary cutter, proper rivets keep your sections tight and cutting clean. The oval head style is what most manufacturers use because it stays put and doesn’t work loose like cheaper alternatives.
Made to Last
Mower sections take a real pounding, especially when you hit rocks or stumps. These rivets are built from quality steel that can handle the shock loads and constant flexing without failing. The oval head spreads the load across more material, so you won’t see the cracking and loosening that happens with inferior fasteners.
Installation Notes
Set these with a standard rivet gun or pneumatic riveter – they’ll mushroom properly on the back side for a solid hold. Make sure your holes are clean and the right size before setting. A quick tip: when replacing sections, it’s smart to replace all the rivets at once rather than mixing old and new hardware.
