Steve, he just bought out a closed dealer... I'm guessing he's looking for reference on what he might have.

@Luke4851 - That's listed in the classifieds....  http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/item/3202-front-mounted-rj-sickle-bar-restored/

So these are the blades I picked up the ones on top (blue) have serrated teeth and the bottom ones (rusty) are just straight teeth. not sure if they belong on a WH or do they belong to a Jari?

[prondzy 3,883]

any input?

Based on the color I would say Jari.  The color scheme on some of the Jari sickle mowers was a green and blue.....the engine cover was green and the rest of the machine was blue.

Those teeth look to long to be WH

Curious... one bar holds 15 sections and the other 17?  I never went and looked at mine, but looking at Steve's above, I count 15, which is the same number allotted in the CBR-32 manual.  Not sure what the other one would fit.  I would guess it measures 34" wide? (they should be 2" each)

I just completed a Wheel Horse front Cutter Bar ( CBR-32 Front Cutter Bar for RJ's and Suburbans) and the blades on mine are plain/smooth  edged.    The rivets and blades were all good on my cutter bar but I had replacement rivets and blades if I needed them.   Cas the CBR-32 manual states replacement rivets are 13/64 x 1/2 inch.  These also are used on the 42 and 50 inch bigger Sickle Bar Mowers that Wheel Horse sold that had the same 2 inch blades used on the bars.

 

Here is a photo of some of my replacement blades that I have for Wheel Horse cutter and sickle bars that are both plain/smooth edged and serrated.

 

 

 

 

 

I placed a 2 inch Wheel Horse Blade over this 2 inch blade on this (Jari ? or other cutter bar manufacturer that has 19 two inch blades riveted to the cutter bar for a comparison of the blades and length.   The rivet holes are not compatible on the 19 blade bar with the Wheel Horse blade holes.

 

This photo shows a Wheel Horse Blade on top of the other blade that I have in a 19 blade bar:
