Looking at buying a hesston 4590 inline baler. It needs new plunger bearings how hard would it be to repair those?

I used to hate changing plunger bearings on NH balers. And I'm not sure but I think I have one going out on my NH baler. Hope I can make it thru the season!!!

We have the case international version, a little smaller I think - closer to the Hesston 4570, which we had to do that to when we got it (used, of course). Ours has the belt thrower on it. Everything has to come out of the bale chamber to pull the plunger but it wasn't exceptionally hard to do, just be prepared for the weight of the plunger. I remember it being pretty heavy. And be sure to keep fingers out of the way when the plunger starts rolling out the back, lots of places to get caught/pinched! Once plunger is out, rollers can be changed relatively quickly.

Not hard did mine in a morning by myself. After new bearings you are supposed to reset the knife edge clearances. New bearings raise the plunger up.
