working on this, all the reel batts, and tubes are bent. These are pretty pricey from CNH. So.... am going to try straightening with arbor press and v blocks. But.. if not will buy steel tube, cut off cam follwer arms and build new tubes. steel tubes about $35 a 10 foot length, tube fron CNH is $156. Can put 2 or 3 hours per tube and still be way ahead of it cost wise. reel shutters and noisy because of bent tubes.

Oh got this for $800 knowing it needed work. gear boxes all good, sickle bar crank assy good needs going thru, replace a few minor parts, Batts i can get made at local duct work shop,they looked at them said can bend to same exact dimensions.
