    8n funk 6 starter issue

    if you can get the piece tacked back together, i think i'd take the piece to a machine shop and possibility have one built. save the old one for a pattern. being cast by funk, i'd imagine a replacement. may be hard to source. good luck

    NH 315 Baler

    i currently use a 315 NH baler. i believe it is a updated 276 as they look alike when side by side. i usually use a ford 3930 when baling, but have in the past used a 3600 and a 860. my fields are pretty flat as well. good luck.
