1501221M1 141113 Fits Ford New Holland Mower Pack of 25 Sickle Sections 501 502 +

What It Is

This is a pack of 25 sickle sections (part numbers 1501221M1, 141113) designed for Ford and New Holland mowers with 501 or 502 sickle bar systems. These are the cutting blades that bolt onto the reciprocating sickle bar, used for heavy-duty grass, hay, or brush cutting.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your existing section number: Confirm your current section is stamped 1501221M1 or 141113. These are identical in shape and bolt pattern.
• Bolt hole spacing: These sections have a 1-1/2" center-to-center bolt hole spacing. Measure yours before buying.
• Sickle bar type: Designed for Ford/New Holland 501 and 502 series mowers. Also fits many aftermarket bars with the same bolt pattern.
• Not for: Do not use on smaller lawn tractors or rotary mowers. These are strictly for reciprocating sickle bars.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Ford/New Holland. Quality is generally good, but inspect the steel thickness and edge sharpness upon arrival.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a wrench or socket for the bolts. Sections must be aligned straight on the bar to avoid vibration and poor cutting.
• Common gotcha: Torque bolts to spec (usually 15-20 ft-lb). Over-tightening can crack the section; under-tightening causes loosening and damage.
• Durability: These are hardened steel, but they will dull faster than OEM if used in rocky or sandy soil. Keep spares handy.
• Pack size: 25 sections cover a typical 5-6 foot sickle bar. Count your current sections to ensure you have enough.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Ford or New Holland 501/502 sickle bar mower and need a economical replacement for worn sections, this pack is a solid buy. It’s cheaper than OEM and works well for routine cutting of grass or light brush. Avoid if you need exact OEM fitment or cut in extremely abrasive conditions.
