Allis Chalmers B w/ #3 Power Mower Part 3--Replacing the Grass Stick

I'm working on an Allis Chalmers #3 Power Mower. This is Part 3 of a multi-part series. In the last video, I repaired the jack that holds up the mower when it is unhooked from the tractor. In this video, I will talk a little about the swathboard and make a new grass stick.

Good video, I have the metal universal type that you showed. It doesnt work well in heavy first cutting alfalfa and grass. The crop falls back on the uncut and cloges up the mower on the nest pass. Ive tried bending the grass stick different ways, but no improvment.

Thanks. I wonder if welding on a longer rod would help pull the taller crop into the swath.
