If you support the cutter bar close to the rivet you are hammering on they will come out. Right as it is here there is too much spring involved, make it more solid. Hint put a wood block tight under it but not directly beneath the rivet in question, the closer the better. This will support it as you hit. There is a tool for those rivets, you can usually pick one up at a implement dealership. It takes the fun...frustration out of changing sections.
@@chickenman298 Yeah but undo one bolt on the wobble box knife arm and pull the whole knife out (use a ratchet strap if ya can't slid it out by hand). Its a lot easier than taking the knife guards off.
Man you are dismantling half the machine. There is a special tool that will remove the rivet and when you put the new rivet in , with a spanner it with compress and clamp the rivet, blade and knife backbone together, easy !

Mine has two rows of teeth. I'm missing 2 teeth on the bottom ones that don't move. Should I run it?
It most likely won't cut very well there gonna need replaced
The cutter bar is held in with one bolt take it out dude
Why don't you pill the cutter bar out. Seems much easier to replace blades with the bar out. We have a 499 and you have two bars full of teeth.
It's really not bad just have to sit on the ground

You have no idea what you are doing do you? Drop the knife bearing bolt drag that hole knife out replace every section then slide it back in!!!

I like using the bolts when I put new ones on just easier
