Description
When you’re cutting hay and notice uneven stubble or grass that’s getting bent instead of cut clean, it’s time to take a look at your sickle knife. A worn or damaged knife bar won’t give you the clean cut you need for quality hay, and that dull cutting action puts extra strain on your mower’s drive system too. This complete 7-foot riveted knife assembly gets your Ford 515 series mower back to making clean, precise cuts.
What You’re Getting
- Complete 7-foot knife assembly with 29 underserrated sections for aggressive cutting action
- Riveted construction that holds up to the constant vibration and impact of field mowing
- Fine tooth serration with 14 teeth per inch designed to slice through tough, thick stems
- Direct replacement that bolts right onto your existing knife head without modifications
- Underserrated design that grabs and holds stems for a cleaner cut than smooth sections
Built for Real Farm Work
This knife fits the Ford 515 series hay mowers, including models 1, 2, 3, 14, and 280. These are the workhorses you’ll find cutting hay fields, pastures, and roadside ditches. The underserrated sections work especially well in heavy, thick grass and legume crops where you need that extra cutting power to slice through stems cleanly.
Made to Last
Riveted knife sections handle the punishment of mowing better than bolted ones since there’s no hardware to work loose over time. The fine tooth serration stays sharp longer and cuts more aggressively than plain sections. This knife is built to handle rocks, stumps, and the general abuse that comes with cutting hay in real-world conditions.
Installation Notes
This knife mounts to head number 242063 and replaces the original knife that came on your mower. Installation involves removing the old knife bar and bolting on the new one—most folks can handle this job with basic hand tools. A good tip is to check your knife head for wear while you’ve got the old knife off, since a worn head won’t hold the new knife properly.
