    Installing new Knife Arm in NH 273 baleer

    The knife arm in my small sqare baler (NH 273) broke a while back. I bought a new knife arm and tried to intall it but I have interference with the billhook. I remember a post from a while back where one of the guys said that a new knife arm could be intalled without removing the bill hook, but...

    Removing stumpjumper from Big Bee rotary cutter

    trackrat, Joe, Ray, Barnyard, Joey, Shaun, and caterpillar guy, Thank you all for the responses that you posted for this entry. My son came over this morning while I was at church and got the stump jumper off the shaft coming out of the gearbox, and subsequently made it possible for me to buy...

    Removing stumpjumper from Big Bee rotary cutter

    Okay, guys. Here's my latest dilemma. I have a 4 foot, Big Bee rotary cutter that I have had for more than 5 years. It has worked very well for all of that time. I loaned it to a guy recently who absolutely destroyed the gear box. He tried cutting long grass and weeds over an outcropping of...

    Here's my latest problem with my New Holland 273 baler.

    Thanks Showcrop, I checked the fingers a few days ago, and they are fine. A year or so ago, I had to replace one, but they are okay for now. Thanks again for your post,

    Here's my latest problem with my New Holland 273 baler.

    Here's my latest problem with my NH 273 baler. I've had so many personal prblems, I have not cut one blade of hay nor have I baled one bale of hay yet this year. I've done a bunch of work on the baler so now I'm testing it in my yard using some hay from last year's crop, to see if it will bale...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    Mike thanks for the idea. I'm not at the baler right now but I'll give it a try with a Crescent wrench/ pipe wrench combination when I get back to the baler. The stripper slides real hard over the billhook. I'm sure that I need to bend the arm upward to increase the clearance betweeen the...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    Daniel, I bought an 18 inch pipe wrench at Home Depot today to tty to bend the knife arm up slightly. I raised the knotter to access the kife arm but no matter where I located the pipe wrench on the knife arm, I couldn't get any leverage to bend the arm. I decided to pull the knife arm and...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    Daniel, Thanks for the reply. I recently looked for my pipe wrenches and couldn't find any of the larger ones. I hope to visit Home Depot today and see if I buy a large pipe wrench.

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    Mike, Thanks for the reply. Do you rotate the knotter up to gain access to the arm, and then, do you have to brace the arm itself when you bend it?

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    I had a broken frame on one of my knotter assemblies on my New Holland 273 baler. I replaced the entire knotter with a used one that i bought online. I installed the knotter assembly in my baler and attempted to cycle the knotter by hand. When I did so, I encountered a great amount of...

    Lights From the Land of Not Even Close to Right

    Tony, I square bale my hay so I'm fairly concious of moisture content when I bale. A few years ago I bought a moisture checker for hay that had not yet been baled. It was from the land of "not even close of being right". I messed around for about a month trying to get a refund, but to no...

    Car Search

    I seem to remember that the Mercury Turpike Cruiser had a rear window that was mounted verically. I think that the window was operated with a motor that allowed it to go up and down. I think that the window disappeared into the car when it was lowered. But then again, that was a long time ago...
