Sickle Bar # 22 int sickle mower?

[Sheepdr]

I rebuilt a # 22 or 24 int sickle mower. It works great and cuts faster than a kauhn mower I have. Except I get a lot of build up of grass at the last section on the outer toe. I am almost to the conclusion that my sickle bar is to short by 1 section. On my kauhn mower there is a section that goes out past the guards when fully extended. I have 2 sickle bars for the int and both are the same length. Should I cut the sickle bar and add enough to get another section? These bars have 28 sections on them. I tried removing the last section but it didn't help. I also saw in here some place something about timing but can't find it again. I can't see how you could change the timing. Maybe shorten the pitman arm.
I would really appreciate any ideas you might have.

All of mine have a double section on the end. It's more like 1-1/2 sections. Here is a link to Webb's Sickle Service that shows several of them. https://www.sickleservice.com/parts/sickle-sections/special-end-sections.html?___store=default

If I remember correctly, seems I've seen them at TSC, and probabaly Rural King would have them.

I agree with DJ54 you need to install a section & 1/2 on the very end of the sickle. I sold those back in the 60's through the late 80's when I worked in a JD parts dept.

Hey thanks. You wouldn't have an idea which one it might be would you?

You'll need to match up with the sections on your mower. Top serrated, bottom serrated, smoth, etc. If you would decide to order from Webb's, give them a call, and tell them what you have. I'm sure they can fix you right up. I get my knives for my old IH 990 MoCo there. Very good to deal with.
