bent finger bar mower

[SuperTwo]

I've got a MF finger bar that's got a bend in it so its cutting high in the middle. Any ideas on how to straighten it?

Same as a bent gate, tractor front wheel, so you can see what you are doing.

Take it to your local engineering shop. They will have presses that will sort that in minutes.

is it just bent or is it twisted?
if its just bent no problem just put it on a block and apply pressure

Buy mine .

Its just bent, ill stick the end on a block and run the tractor wheel over it tomorrow and see if that straightens it.

Sounds too technical to me. If you don't want to use a press why not put it on two blocks under the tractor and use a hydraulic bottle jack to apply pressure between the underside of the tractor and the mower bed.. At least that way you are in control of where you apply the pressure and how much pressure you apply. Your method will probably put a kink in it which will be much harder to remove.
