I recently purchased a old MF sickle bar and it is in great shape, but I am having one problem. The wooden bar that connects the flywheel to the blade keeps popping off at the blade. There is a ball and socket type joint that clamps down by flipping a spring loaded lever causing it to clamp onto the ball mounted to blade. The lever keeps flipping causing it to pop off before I can mow more then a few feet. Could the joint just be weak? Can I clamp it down some how or am I doing something else wrong here? Any help appreciated
Thanks Jon.
