For what its worth. Broken bars on IH balanced head mowers are a part of life. There is a stress riser, in the form of the notch, at the point of maximum stress. After running them on this farm for over 40 years we have a pile of old broken bars. Like other posters said, they break again beside the weld. If you redrill, it may not cut right since the register of the knife may be wrong. A new bar is the most effective fix. A local dealer here sells Rowse parts and says he has a fix.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I bought one to try next year. John
