I just paid $20 for what I am sure is a tool to sharpen knife sections on a cutter bar, but am not sure exactly how it is to be used. Made by McCormick-Deering, it has a crank which turn several cogs which turn a vee-shaped grindstone, and it has two setting-one to be stationary and one in which the grindstone moves up and down as it turns. The base appears to get clamped onto something, like the sickle bar maybe, but I tried it on my mower and there is no way to sharpen the knives in place as the knife guards prevent the stone from reaching the knives. Does anyone know how this works, are they rare? I never saw one before. I don't really plan on using it, got it more for a collector item, but would like to know how it works.
