Mytee Products Sickle Bar Rock Guard fits MacDon Part # 118344 - Black Powder Coated Forged Steel Sickle Mower Knife Guard with Two Prongs

What It Is

This is a forged steel sickle bar rock guard (two-prong design) that replaces MacDon Part #118344. It protects the sickle knife sections from impact damage when mowing in rough or rocky conditions.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct OEM replacement for MacDon #118344 – confirms fit on MacDon sickle mowers and headers (e.g., 4000/5000/9000 series) that use this guard.
• Not universal – measure your existing guard’s bolt hole spacing (typically 2.5" center-to-center) and overall length before ordering. This guard is for specific MacDon designs; non-MacDon machines require cross-referencing.
• Aftermarket part – Mytee Products produces to OEM specs, but verify your machine’s manual or existing guard part number matches #118344. If your guard has a different number, this will not fit.
• Two-prong style – confirms it’s for standard sickle sections, not for double-cut or stub guards. Check your current guard prong count.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – Black powder-coated forged steel for corrosion resistance and durability. One 5.0 rating suggests satisfaction, but limited reviews.
• Installation – Easy bolt-on replacement with basic hand tools (typically 9/16" or 5/8" wrench). No special skills needed.
• Gotchas – Bolts often rust; have replacement grade 5 or 8 hardware ready. Torque to spec (usually 35-45 ft-lbs) – overtightening can crack the guard. Check sickle alignment after installation to avoid binding.
• Price – $22.59 is competitive for a single forged guard; compare with OEM pricing (often $30-40 each). Buy in bulk if replacing multiple.

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct replacement for a MacDon #118344 guard on a sickle mower used in rocky or uneven terrain, this is a solid, affordable option. The forged steel and powder coating offer good value vs. OEM, and installation is straightforward. Skip it if your machine uses a different guard number or if you need a universal fit – verify compatibility first.
