IHC-J.D. Vintage Sickle Mower Sections
Restore vintage sickle mower to original OEM specs. Many offer sickle sections that will fit your mower, but our Amish friends prefer these quality German-made self-sharpening Radura brand sections. They are made in Germany from the very best high-tensile steel and induction hardened for long-lasting sharpness, break resistance, and durability. Sold in package of 10.
We offer three types of the most popular cutting edges for your harvesting needs. The sections pictured are for IHC but the J.D. cutting sections are very similar. Select from a smooth knife section, heavy under-serrated section or extra heavy top-serrated section. The IHC has three mounting holes spaced at 1” centers, only the two outside holes are used for most IHC applications those two holes are spaced at 2-1/16” centers. The J.D. has two mounting holes spaced at 2” centers. Both the IHC and J.D. sections are 3” wide.

Our Amish companies have been making and sourcing replacement parts since 1950 for what many consider antique or junk farm machinery today. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, just about every farm used the same farm equipment providing ample outlets for replacement parts. As most farmers modernized through the 1900s the Amish still depended on horse-drawn equipment as many still do today.
Since this equipment is no longer being manufactured and dealers are no longer stocking parts it becomes difficult to keep this old vintage farm machinery operational. Both Amish and vintage farm machinery enthusiasts scour junkyards, farms, and tree lines in search of these long-abandoned implements for restoration.
Cottage Craft Works.com travels deep into the back roads to find Amish companies who are still making the replacement parts to maintain and restore this old-time horse-drawn farm machinery.

A note on shipping cost: If you just need a small part such as a bolt, nut, or shim please contact us to order, otherwise the shipping calculator is set assuming that several parts will be ordered from this section at the same time.
These replacement parts have very little markup for us, especially when we just sell one item like a bolt and nut. To help defray the time and cost to process, credit card fees, and the labor to pack and transport to the post office, regardless of how much it costs to ship, we do charge a minimum of $14.50 base rate for shipping and handling fees even if it is a small part.
