The roller has a plurality of raised spaced elements such as ribs formed of a hard wear resistant material such as carbide clad onto the outer surface metal of the roller body. The ribs extend along a part only of the body at the two ends in an axial direction and angularly spaced around the outer surface. The ribs have a height less than 6 mm and a width less than 6 mm arranged such that the ribs do not engage into any recesses in the drive surface of the belt.
An agricultural cutting blade has top and bottom surfaces and mounting apertures extending through top and bottom surfaces. A cutting edge support surface (e.g. that may be a flat, pointed or rounded) is formed on the cutting blade body with the cutting edge support extending along a side of the cutting blade body transversely between the top and bottom surfaces. A clad material deposited upon the cutting edge support such as by laser cladding process. The clad material can be built up, that is layered in partial or full overlapping relation to provide at least 2 and often more than 4 layers of clad material at one or more locations. A cutting edge provided by the clad material that may be a ground surface into a laser clad bead.

A sickle bar assembly employs a plurality of laminated strips that are secured and that may be stacked vertically upon each other in abutting relation to form a sickle bar. The individual sickle sections are secured to the sickle bar in side-by-side relation. Laminated stacks may also be joined to each other by way of a splice joint to provide for even longer bar. The strips may be heat treated strips of steel as opposed to cold rolled steel or other high strength strip material.
A crop harvesting header with a cutter bar and a draper assembly has a draper canvas driven by a drive roller with a cylindrical roller body having an outer surface surrounding an axis of rotation of the roller for engaging an inner drive surface of a canvas wrapped therearound. The roller has a plurality of ribs arranged on the outer surface of the roller body extending along a part of the body in an axial direction and angularly spaced around the outer surface. The ribs have a height less than 6 mm and a width less than 6 mm arranged such that the ribs do not engage into any recesses in the drive surface of the canvas.
Sickle knife assemblies used as parts of agricultural machines, namely, combines, hay mowers and windrowers; and kits for repairing such sickles, consisting primarily of splices, splice bolts and nuts
