One of the best things about a good, interesting, cool CZcams channel (like yours) is when you record yourselves just doing things, trying new things, discovering what works, learning how to get things done the best way you can with what you have available...just like people did in the old days, as inexpensively as possible as long as it worked.

    Jonas that's fantastic to see this old girl doing what she was designed and built to do. There is just something about see this old iron working the field.
    This brings back some nostalgic memories from growing up in the 60s and early 70s.
    I've run sickle bar mowers in the past, it was handy as can be to have a couple of spare sickle bars ready to slide into the cutter bar when they started getting dull. I don't know if you can get sickle bars for this machine anymore. If you can it helps big-time with lowering down time a lot. With these 4 1/2 inch grinders it will make sharping a lot easier and faster. The trick is keeping the cutting-edge at the right angle.
