Ian 2,417 #12 Posted August 18, 2014 Very nice I need a sickle mower in my life even though I have no need for one It looks like it was an easy fit on the Norlett ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #13 Posted August 18, 2014 I like the idea too, I think he just turned the drive upside down as on an atom it's on the left... Don't think it took too long, but it still needs some work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 998 #14 Posted August 18, 2014 Glad to see someone has achieved this conversion. I've been chewing the fat over modifying one of those to fit on a Garden Tractor for ages. I had doubts about the Cutter width in relation to the Track width, but look's ok. Nice job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 524 #15 Posted August 18, 2014 Would like to see that in action Mark. Great adaption Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #16 Posted August 18, 2014 Richard, the bar is just 6 inches too short for a standard track wheel horse, it would be perfect on a short frame or round hood.. Neil, The picture is actually in action if you look carefully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norlett 32 #17 Posted August 31, 2014 My sickle bar Conversion..Getting it ready to clean up and paint. Had it working as Meadowfield (Mark) showed earlier. Bit narrower than My Norlett ... But could extend it either side in needed. Will post pictures of if working when done painting... I hope.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 215 #18 Posted September 2, 2014 Hi, Great conversion! I got my hands on one of these sickle bars the other night for the grand total of £10, I look forward to seeing it all painted up and mounted in your tractor. What is the width of yours? I know there were three different widths made: 18", 24" and 36". Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norlett 32 #19 Posted September 3, 2014 Hi there Tom and Co. The sickle bar width is only about 24" Just painted it now.. Going away for a few days..So when I get back I will fit together and slot on. Then show it working.(problem being no long grass about). Made it to fit on the quick hitch...30 seconds and its on and away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norlett 32 #20 Posted September 12, 2014 Norlett Sickle Bar Cutter. Just painted and fit on tractor....Seems to work ok...Looking for some longish grass to try out properly. When we go to our next show we should have a nice cut area....I hope.. Might need a rake and baler...If its to long.. Might be next job making a rake... 2 nigel and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
