    hesston 5540 roundbaler

    I have the opportunity to get a hesston 5540 round Baler from a local farmer for $ 1000. Thing is it has sat in the shed since they stopped making hay a number of years back. (Maybe 10?) And it has a 2foot bale in the chamber. Should I run from this as things are probably stretched out or is it...

    MF part identification needed

    oh I thought you where talking about a input bearing into the pump, which seemed strange cause it seems to just be a bushing. No i have the thing split behind the tranny. I'll check into what it takes to get to that bearing. I have a book, but it often leaves out what i'm looking for!
