Lanse,
The mower does look to be in fairly good shape. The knife sections in your pic have some more life in them, you just need to remove the whole blade section from the cutterbar and sharpen them with a side grinder.
What Davpal is talking about is the blade section sliding down through the cutterbar after you get it slick from use and catching a finger between the knife section and a guard. You have to raise the cutterbar to transport position by hand and you have to lower it to cutting position by hand. So wear gloves, hold the cutter bar flat in your hands, and be careful to keep your fingers below the guards.
I doubt if you need to make a swathboard out of wood. Try out what you have first.
Be advised that mower, or any sickle bar mower, will not cut wet grass. All the dew needs to dry off first. Also, the things don't cut very fast. Start off in low gear, speed up and find what speed it will cut at. Have fun and be careful.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
