Description

When your mower conditioner’s sickle bar quits moving or starts cutting unevenly, there’s a good chance the sickle drive belt has stretched, cracked, or snapped. This belt is what transfers power from your tractor’s PTO through the mower’s gearbox to drive that oscillating knife that cuts your hay or pasture. Without it running properly, you’re stuck with a very expensive lawn ornament instead of a working mower.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty construction designed to handle the constant back-and-forth motion of sickle drive systems
Precise fit for Allis Chalmers 479 and 1469 mower conditioners without slipping or jumping
Oil and heat resistant materials that hold up to the harsh environment around mower gearboxes
Quality TISCO manufacturing with the durability you need for long cutting seasons

Built for Real Farm Work

This belt is specifically designed for the Allis Chalmers 479 and 1469 mower conditioners—machines that were built tough for serious hay operations. Whether you’re cutting alfalfa, grass hay, or maintaining pastures, these mower conditioners see heavy use during cutting season, and this belt needs to keep up with the demanding oscillating motion that drives the sickle bar.

Made to Last

Sickle drive belts take a beating from constant flexing and the vibration of the cutting action. This TISCO belt is built with reinforced construction and quality materials that resist stretching and cracking even after thousands of cutting hours. It’s designed to maintain proper tension and deliver consistent power to keep your knife moving smoothly.

Good to Know

Installing this belt is straightforward—just make sure to follow your manual for proper belt routing and tension adjustments. A good tip is to check the condition of your pulleys and idlers while you’ve got the old belt off, since worn pulleys can cause premature belt failure. Keep the belt guard in place once you’re done for safety.
