If you are having trouble sliding the knife in and out my advice is this . Go to one end of the header , and look down the length of the knife. What you most probably will see is that some guards are bent up , and some bent down from hitting rocks. You can straighten these bent guards back into their proper position with a guard bender. Now your next question will be ,"where can I get a guard bender?" That is simple, you make one. All you need is to find a length of pipe, about 4 feet long , that will fit easily over the front of the guard, while the guard is still fastened on to the haybine. Then cut a piece off of the pipe about 6 inches long, and weld it to the remaining long piece of pipe, about 4-6 inches from the end of the pipe. That is your guard bender. Now just establish which guard is bent up, slip the shorter pipe over the end of the guard, and the longer end will go under the guard. Now press down , bending the guard back into the appropriate position. If the guard is bent down , reverse the procedure. In most cases , it is not really the guard that is bent, but the place on the header where the guard is bolted on that is bent. The knife rubbing against the knife will make it "run hard". And if some are bent up while others are bent down , just makes it that much harder as you can imagine. If I have only made you more confused, I could take a picture of a guard bender that I made many years ago , and post it for you. Bruce

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
