    Baled some hay

    I agree that twine holder tension looks like it might be a smidge too tight. But I'd also agree with Jocco about looking at the simplest thing first: How sharp are your twine knives? Three of the problems you mentioned or showed are: - Knots 'almost' forming then 'popping' (as per your first...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    It is indeed a real pain to try and find a spot where you can bend it. When you swing it up on the shaft, if you swing it far enough up, the arm should get to a point where it can swing off the bill hook. I think this is usually with the knotter swung quite high up. It also depends on where the...

    Hesston Haybines... was ready to scrap them both

    Further to above: I know what you mean about working on junk. Up until last year my main tedders were three of the old Allis rake/tedder combo units (the rakes with a gearbox that could reverse for tedding). I had myself convinced I was a saving money and time with my constant struggles to keep...

    Hesston Haybines... was ready to scrap them both

    Just curious: Are you sure you can't get sections and guards that would work? I'm going by my memory of helping a family friend who died a few years ago with his Hesston when he slammed into a groundhog mound and had no spares. If I remember right (which is a pretty big 'if'), we brought some...

    help with ring gear ford 8n

    The set-screw idea would certainly work, but even for you I think it's far more bother than it's worth. Slipping ring gears have been a known problem with N's for decades, and thousands (if not tens of thousands) have been tack-welded by both experienced and amateur welders. And those tractors...

    Baled some hay

    I should also add: Be careful with rough ground. If I remember right, there was at least one Case baler of that era that was a great baler, except the feeder forks would interfere with the pickup if the pickup was raised. If you hit a bump on rough ground and the pickup jumped up, the feeder...

    Baled some hay

    The good thing: All baler manufacturers apart from Massey and IH used Rasspe knotters (or in the case of Ford, a copy of a Rasspe knotter), so diagnosis is the same as any of the common NH/JD balers that used Rasspe knotters. As Jon notes, a little more detail is needed: Some pictures of your...

    Oliver 1850

    It does indeed look like the pump Massey used with the 354. Google 'Massey 1105 Water Pump' and see if those pictures compare. If it is that pump, A&I makes one, and pretty much every ag dealer orders from A&I regularly. Take a look at this link below. If this looks right, you should be able to...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    If it's just a slight tweak, you can usually do it by flipping the knotter up, rotating it in its sequence until the striper/knife arm clears the bill hook. Then you can tweak and swing it over the hook to check, and adjust it again as necessary. Shouldn't be necessary to brace it for just some...

    Case 630 Tire Size Increase

    Thanks kindly for the offer (and the other replies). I'm in Central Ontario, Canada unfortunately, so that would be a bit of a long haul (too bad this wasn't a year ago, as we were back and forth through in Missouri and Arkansas for work several times). I think I'll probably go with the 18.4's...

    Twine knife flange clearance to the billhook

    A pickle fork (the kind used to separate ball joints) or a pipe wrench with the jaws on the stripper arm is usually what you use to bend them. Should just barely scrub or have just a hair of clearance when set right. Modern plastic twine is a little thinner than it used to be (even plastic 9000...

    Massey Ferguson model 36 hay rake questions ????

    Agco still has those seals (as per the parts book link above). And if you don't want to go to a Massey/Agco dealer, any industrial/bearing supply should be able to cross reference an equivalent seal from the Agco part number, or else spec. one if you have the dimensions. Or just fill with...

    Case 630 Tire Size Increase

    Hi folks, The rear rims and tires on my 630 are beyond shot - rims are rusted so bad that they'd probably fall into oblivion if I touched them with a wire wheel, and the tires are so cracked that one tube is showing in several spots. I'm surprised they've lasted as long as they have. It...

    44 Diesel starter question

    On old tractors (and many engines in general) there's a lot more interchangeability in starter bolt/mount patterns and pinion sizes than you might think. I think both the 44 diesel and gas use the same spigot diameter and SAE #1 pad dimensions, with the difference probably being in the length...

    1967 Case 730 Gas will not Start

    It almost sounds like you have two problems to deal with. The sputtering and dying problems sound like one of the most oft-posted problems on here - gunk floating around in the tank that periodically/partially blocks the tank outlet. But if now it's not starting or even making an attempt to...

    Vermeer 5410

    I'm no expert, but having some experience with the 5400 a chap owns across town and a lot of experience with our 435 (and knowing you have the power to handle it), if the 435 is in good/similar condition I'd agree with keeping it. The chap with the 5400 loves his, and I have a soft spot for...

    Bale moisture

    I should also say to the OP: Congrats on the new baler! I've been following your posts about your trouble with the 648 for some time. A new Vermeer vs. an older NH will be a night-and-day difference.

    Bale moisture

    I'm like you most of the time, happy to get it dry enough to bale, and the drier the better. But for some of the higher-end alfalfa we sell, if it's uber dry you'll get significantly more shatter and leaf loss (especially with squares), and it's thus better to try and bale at at least 10-12%...

    2-105 Fuel Tank Routing

    Thanks Tom, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Did that last night and I thought all my problems were solved. Then it died 8 bales in (naturally it died on the steepest, rockiest slope we farm with a 5' bale in the chamber). Now it seems to be the lift pump that's pooched (maybe it's been...

    Splitting a Massey Harris 44

    Further to above: The 44S rear-end would be a good upgrade. But if my memory is correct (it's been awhile since we had our 44 or 555), the hydraulics for the 44 would be from an auxiliary hydraulic tank up front and pump driven off the cam. Your 44 must have hydraulics if it has a bucket. But...
