Also check your ledger plates. (the little brackets every foot or so.) They shouldnt quite be touching the blade, but almost. Also check your reel. Are all the fingers on the bats? If you need another 495 for parts, we have 1 sitting in the back corner of the feed yard. Bought a Diskbine for our Macdon swathers instead.
On another note. Have to spray all our wheat, plus do some custom spraying for our neighbor for stripe rust. Looks like I wont be hauling much grain this week.
Yeah, understood! We're just trying to get the hay cut, while there is actually some dry weather! I also appreciate the offer about the old unit you have there. I do require one thing. The left end of the lower driver, there is a sprocket. I need that sprocket. Previous owner must have stripped out the keyway and welded the sprocket to the roller shaft. Of course the weld broke. I think it's on borrowed time now. Thinking about swapping the rollers around, as the top roller is in great shape at the other end. Just need a good sprocket and gib key. Let me know, if you can part with it, or are you looking to sell the whole thing? Btw, I did check the ledger plates. Some are touching, some are not even close to the knives. Are they supposed to press down a bit? How are they adjusted? With a hammer???
