Abstract
A mower assembly in which a standard sickle guard having two long fingers is replaced with a guard having two long fingers and two alternate fingers that are relatively short. The sickle blade cooperates with cutting surfaces on both the long and the short fingers. In the case of the long fingers, there are slots through which the sickle bar moves. In the case of the short fingers, the blade merely moves over a cutting surface of the short finger. There are trash bars extending between the fingers to strengthen the fingers and guard against rocks or uncut plants jamming the space between the fingers. The guard unit is fastened at two points to the guard support bar so as to minimize any tendency of the guard unit to turn.
