Brandon The easy way to get them to pop off is to set your vise just loose on the section. then with the knife part of the section down and the knife back against the vise, basically you have it on edge. Then hit the section right above each rivet and they will shear and drop off. The ones in the head may not shear this way if you can't get the back to set against the vise. If it is not solid you can damage the sickle head. If I am in doubt I just grind them off. CAUTION!!! If you do this wrong you can break the knife back or bend it. So just be careful.
I have a Johnson sickle servicer to install and remove the rivets. On short sickles I can change them twice as fast as you can with the bolts. I don't like the bolts on a sickle mower because the high arch hold downs will drag in fine grass more. I just keep an extra sickle on the tractor with me. I can replace the sickle in less that five minutes. Then when I am not mowing later I can fix the bad section.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
