Does any one out there happen to know how long the two cables that set the crimping roll tension are supposed to be? I have one that the left cable was broken on, it is obsolete through dealers and they can't seem to find how long they are really supposed be, I can make them no problem but it would be nice to know the correct length, the part numbers are 700109415 and 700109414, any info would be very much appreciated.

CaseIH Parts lookup through Messicks says discontinued. However, the online AGCO parts lookup through Agriteer comes back with 700109415 as available for $56.58. 700109414 says available for $94.61.

Thanks, I couldn't get Agco to come up I wonder if our local Dealer can get them or get me the length, I remade them and hoped the broken one wasn't missing any of it, it seems to work but haven't got to run cutting more than just a short single pass in fairly short grass.

700109414 is just over 80" to the outside edges of the swages and 700109415 is about 35.5".

Thank you @Brendon-KS I was pretty darn spot on with the ones I made, I just used nuts smashed down and the welded the ends. So the next question is how tight do you tighten the adjust for the tension, I havent gotten a manual yet. I just acquired this machine two weeks ago and trying to get it all going, the price was right, free and its in really good shape, had to replace the sickle drive belts and those cables.
