Fish:

The Missus picked up the sickle bar off a friend of the family who was moving to a bigger farm half a county away and gave her first refusal on everything he wasn't taking with him before he held his farm sale. She got the "cousin" price of $250 for the sickle bar (with some extra parts-teeth and bars) and a spike-toothed harrow.

I believe new sickle bars have been OSHA'd to death (PTO shafts AND exposed teeth) and you will have to try to find one from a farm sale or used equipment dealer. My wife and our friend based the price on this one from the range of used sickle bar prices given by a local dealer ($300 - $600).
