Connector Bar

On some models of Honey Bee swathers a

connector bar is used to join two sections of

knife back. The sickle sections are bolted to the

knife back. The connector bar is attached to the

underside of the knife back with eight threaded

inserts installed into the bar which protrude slightly

on the side that contacts the knife back. The knife

back is punched with slightly tapered holes to

accommodate the sickle sections.

The knife sections must be installed on the top side of the knife back (the side stamped “TOP”) so

that the protruding inserts of the connector bar will t snugly into the tapered section holes. As the

section bolts are tightened, the inserts in the connector bar are drawn into the knife back forcing

them to clamp down on the bolt. The bolts should be tightened to 120 - 150 in-lbs, (13.5 - 17 Nm).

Do not grind the inserts ush with the connector bar. This will defeat their function,

and may cause a knife failure. Check tightness of bolts daily; replace broken and

worn sections as required.
