  Count your fingers  before....... and after.        Especially if there is more than one person involved.

Seriously... take a lot of care

I  would rather work alone in this situation.



AMEN AMEN AMEN.....I sliced an inch off Dad's thumb two years ago because he wasn't listening/paying attention.  Fortunately the local PA put it back on and the ortho doc said he couldn't have done any better.

As for tips, use a grease gun to force the old sickle off the drive spline once the top bolt is off.  DON'T use a hammer or mallet to tap the new sickle in.  Its pretty soft stuff and I learned the hard (and expensive) way.

Be careful!
