    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    Rod, New development. I told messicks I didn't want it, and they came back and said the obsolete supplier is looking to clear that inventory. They dropped the price to $495. I've both one of them, but they have another one left. You may want to call and see if they will do the same for you. A...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    Actually, I think Messicks said they had two in stock. Either way, go right ahead. I'm going to see how this spare cam gear plays out. I can't bring myself to sink that much more money into it. As has been advised, I'd rather cut my losses and get a baler that's not obsolete.

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    After working their website to the bone, I finally called the parts hotline for messicks. Very helpful people. They did find a warehouse for obsolete parts that has the entire knotter assembly, but they're wanting $800+, and it weighs 70 lbs, so shipping is going to add a good bit to that. On a...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    There is some ware in both pinions, but that didn't happen until the disc pinion started skipping, which I think was actually brought on by the failing cam, not the other way around. My friend (as Providence would have it) had a whole knotter assembly that I just picked up. It's OLD and rusty...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    Very small operation. I've got about 3 acres that I plan to bale. Got another 3 that I want to add. My first reaction (in rage) was to scrap it and start again, but since the season is done for me, I might as well take the time to at least try and fix it. If you find a craigslist posting for a...

    Good point. While I have the knotter apart, I"ll check that. Thanks.

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    Thanks for the response... very helpful. I think I might have lucked up... but I will know for certain after work. I just found out that a friend of a friend has some old ford baler parts, and he actually has a whole knotter assembly. I sure hope it works out. If it doesn't, I will definitely...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    I really don't know why it broke, other than it was worn out. Maybe it was something I did. There was a lot of distance between the pinion and the cam gear and it was causing the pinion to miss and get stuck on the return so that it would no longer turn. So, I tightened the stack using the...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    Unfortunately, I'm not at all familiar with welding. I wish I was. Also, it broke right at the axle, and it would probably be better to describe it as shattered. I've been hunting down salvage yards and used parts warehouses, but I haven't had much luck yet. This may be a completely batty idea...

    Ford 532 Baler Disaster

    I recently purchased a Ford 532 Square baler that supposedly missed a knot on the LH "some of the time". Turns out, it missed a knot every time. I got in and worked with it and got it tying perfect on the LH side, only to then have trouble with the RH not pulling the knot off. Long story short...
