    I just put together a new seven foot knife for my self. I recently bought a used haybine knife for 20$ and most of the teeth were good. The back was straight and not worn. I put a new head on it, and replaced a few teeth. I used bolts, which I liked a lot. I did have to turn two bolts into rivets as the wasn’t enough room for nuts. You can see a group of photos here.

    Nice job, Donn. I’m still waiting for my mower book from SFJ (out of stock, but reprinting “soon”), before I start tearing into mine. May have to take a trip over to your place with my cutter blade so you can help me do mine the correct way 😮

    Jim,

    If you are in a hurry to get started try asking the SFJ if they will ship the hardback edition at the same price as the paperback. That is what I did and they went for it. Of course about the time my book arrived we had a series of unfortunate things happen in our family, which has put the mower on the back burner for now. Oh well. 🙁

    Regards …
