When I was a kid back in the '60's working at the Farmall garage with Dad and Grand-Dad, I replaced a lot of sections in sickle bar mower knives. Usually, I'd use the hand-held grinder to grind off the rivet heads; then remove the remainder of the rivet with a punch. To install the new sections, Dad had a cast-iron block that was machined the correct distance between then rivets; I'd set up the rivets with the heads on the block, thru the section and the knife; then Dad had a special rectangular-shaft punch to put the correct "finish" on the rivets. Not for sure, but I kinda think IH sold the punch and the block as a kit at one time. When Grand-Dad did it, we always said he "cheated"; he had a rivet press that was set up in the bench vise; when the rivets, section and knife were positioned, one pull of the lever "finished" the rivets on one section. Not sure who made the press, but it sure was handy!
