I just got this massey, have removed the sickle and don't think it looks quite right near the drive end. Here's some pics, any thoughts? (Images will get large enough to see if you click on them)

Thanks, Roger

Here are a few shots of my MF31 sicklebar, which is pretty close in design to yours.

I installed new sickle sections using bolts and lock nuts in place of the rivets. And replaced most of the rock guards.

I run it with my 2008 Mahindra 5525

Had to add inboard and outboard grass sticks to keep the mower from clogging near the ends.

I'd say you need to replace the sickle sections as a minimum.

Good luck.

Thanks, those pics clear it up for me. I was mainly concerned with the connection of the plate the taper pin is on. Looks like mine is pretty close. New sections have already been procured.
