    Unauthorized Manuals??

    This question has to do with a modern tractor brand (which I won't name) and a web-based dealer/franchise of that brand (which I also won't name). Yet. I won't name yet... because I want to see if my story is specific to one brand/dealer, or if this is the norm nowadays. Anyway, I needed...

    Battery Cable sizing... placing a bet

    So, It's funny, because a bunch of us were just spun around trying to help someone with an old N tractor that wouldn't start... even though the starter was turning some, but the battery cables were getting hot. I couldn't find the end game of that diagnosis, but the last notion was that...

    So...battery cables and "skin depth"

    This was brought up in another thread, I was sort of dismissive of the notion. But, I was looking up wire ampacity for another reason (we just got our old NH155 hay elevator that we bought for scrap price going...and now I want to make a good 240V wiring system for it)... Anyway, the first...

    More old Hesstons part woes

    Well...I replaced the conditioner bearing on my 1070, without the little press-on shield. My guess is that the shield was designed for a certain brand of bearing that maybe isn't available any more. I knew it was too tight as purchased, so I chucked the shield up in my wood lathe and took...

    Die Cutters for Bearing Removal?

    I have this bearing removal task more often than I would like. Removing an old bearing with a lock collar, mounted in a pair of sandwich flanges from a shaft, and I can only get the outer flange out of the way. Examples? Bearings on the end of haybine conditioning rolls... All of the...

    Hesston Support???

    It seems that the level of support for Hesston has changed dramatically in the past couple of years? Our two old haybines are both model 1070. I thought that I used to be able to search that model number on the Agco site and the Messick's site a couple of years ago. The Agco site now does...

    small square baler hay dogs

    I was today years old, when I realized that... The hay dogs on every baler I've ever used were practically worn beyond their useful life. I was watching the NH small square knotter video and looked at the perfect triangles that new hay dogs should look like... I've never seen anything...

    Brand New 2N Distributor From Amazon... check the points

    Bought one recently, and it was only 35 bucks or so. Made my spring tune up easy. BUT... It did have one problem...which didn't show up until now, about two months later. When the distributor came, I checked the gap on the points. It was .025. I didn't bother to check the manual. The...

    Elevator Chain, Manure Spreader Chain...a trick

    These things bother me. It seems that I mess with one about once every other year. I always get them apart, and together. And I always end up beating my brains out and cussing a blue streak. This time I wanted to do it a way that was sensible...and remember what I did. I fiddled with it...

    I was mowing when...

    This is anecdotal, just based on what I read here. Seems as though many posts start with, I was mowing when... x happened. My experience with our 2N is that it doesn't really handle a mower or bush hog very well. The only mower that I'll use on it is our 5' finish mower. Even then, only...

    Unthreaded Carriage Bolt Blanks?

    We picked up a used NH 155 elevator. The windless cables were a little off kilter. They were new, but strung incorrectly. We got a deal at TSC for two cable remnants that were just the right length at TSC, and replaced them. In the process, I removed the cast idler wheels at the top that...

    Old Hesston Haybine Equivalents

    If we ignore the difference between 7 foot and 9 foot. What Hesston haybines would have matching parts to the 1070? By parts, I mean, PTO knuckle ends, swaybar, gearboxes, reel tooth hardware, reel cam follower bearings. those funky tie rod thingies that go on the end of the sickle bar...

    Finally got my twine discs adjusted

    At the end of last baling season, I was chasing some knotter issues. Going through the knotters, I realized that... My twine finger clearances were off...adjusted that One of my twine discs was really worn...replaced it, along with the billhook on the same frame, because it's pinion gear...

    Setting output voltage of a 1-pole 2N generator

    I recently posted about battery choices for a 2N, because my battery went bad prematurely. Well, I got a new battery and did some other tune up work on it for summer. IWe need our raker/tedder tractor. It's purring like a kitten again. But...for kicks, I measured the voltage at the...

    Making hay between solar panels?

    At some point in the next few years, about 160 acres of hay ground that has historically been available to us for pasture or hay, will become solar panels. I've been talking with the company that is doing the install. They recommend sheep for grazing. Cows are too big. Goats jump too much...

    If your plunger had a squeak?

    Pulled out the NH276 baler a few days ago, prepped it for the season... greased it all up, strung the twine, checked the plunger stop and the slip clutch... Started baling, and everything works fine. Making bales. Making good knots. Then, I start hearing a squeak in the plunger stroke...

    Battery Alternatives for Ford 2N?

    Around here, the 6V battery type that I've used for our 2N is getting more and more rare. I used to be able to go to a Tire n Battery shop owned by my high school Earth Science teacher, who has since retired from both teaching and his Tire n Battery shop. When I needed a battery, he would...

    Allis Chalmers rake model/serial tags

    We have two old AC rakes. I've never really cared what the model/serial numbers were, because they are visibly and obviously identical; so one is parts, one is workable. I recently, out of curiosity, tried to find the part number/serial tag with no luck. I don't have a picture...

    Grimm S8 tedder... serial number 0001???

    We recently had to find the serial numbers on all of our ancient haying equipment. We're going over to the dark side and applying for a USDA loan for our farm. Never thought I'd see the day... but when they are giving farm grants to people building wedding barns... well, if you can't beat...
