RIV66H Rivets Assortment Fits Ford Fits Massey Fits John Deere Sickle Mowers

What It Is

This RIV66H rivets assortment is a bulk pack of replacement rivets designed specifically for securing sickle bar sections and guards on Ford, Massey Ferguson, and John Deere sickle mowers. It’s used for field repairs or full rebuilds on hay-cutting and brush-clearing equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your sickle mower model and the rivet size required. This assortment typically includes 3/16” and 1/4” diameter rivets in various lengths, but check the product listing for exact counts. Measure the existing rivet hole diameter on your mower’s knife sections and guards—most Ford, Massey, and Deere models use either 3/16” or 1/4”. Not all rivets may fit newer or odd-size sections. If you have a compact utility tractor with a rear-mounted sickle bar, verify the bar width (commonly 5’, 6’, or 7’) and the number of sections to ensure you have enough rivets. This is an aftermarket assortment, not OEM, so quality and fit can vary slightly; test one rivet before doing a full row.

Key Things to Know

• Quality varies – These are generic rivets; some users report softer metal that may deform under heavy use. For high-stress commercial cutting, consider OEM or hardened rivets.
• Installation requires a rivet buster or hammer and bucking bar – You can’t just pop them in with pliers. A proper tool set makes the job much easier and prevents damaging the section.
• Count before you cut – The assortment may include mixed sizes; separate them by diameter and length before starting. Running out mid-row is a pain.
• Check for burrs – Deburr the holes in guards and sections before installing to ensure a tight fit and avoid premature wear.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a one-time repair or a small stockpile for a few sickle mowers and you’re comfortable with basic mechanical work. It’s a budget-friendly stopgap for hobby farmers or light-duty mowing. Skip it if you run a commercial fleet or need guaranteed long-term durability—invest in OEM rivets instead.
