Rebuilt MF 31 sickle mower

In this video I'll go over some of the things I had to fix on my Massey Ferguson DynaBalance 31 Sickle Mower.

I had to replace all the bearings in the gearbox as they were all seized. While the originals were a type of greasable bearing, I found that replacing them with permanently greased bearings will likely be fine. The new bearings are a touch narrower than the originals, but it seems to work fine.
I had to replace the rock guards as well as the sections in some spots. The previous owner had rivetted right through the strap into the sections below. This didn't allow the strap to flex as is needed for the radial movement of the drive arm.
Some parts were seized from age and had to be broken free.
