I also see the screws attaching the cutter bar no longer have slots.
G'day Damon and Norm
As far as I can tell, all Imperial bedknives were attached by rivets.
I suspect many machines were tapped to accept countersunk, slotted set screws in service at a later date.
[manually peened rivets take a lot of time]

Yes, one good machine from this.
The 16" single drum repair is 'not good'.

Great images for the record. smile
Please let us know how you go Damon.
