Anvil Plate

The Anvil Plate is a specially designed plate that provides backing for the sickle bar during the shearing process when the sickle sections are removed. The position of the Anvil Plate is adjustable for different widths of sickle bars.

There is a round tab welded on the bottom side of the Anvil Plate that allows it to slide for adjustment, but helps to hold it securely in place during the shearing process. There is a set screw (p/n 54046) that is used for adjustment that pushes against  the Anvil Plate.
