Started taking the cam rack apart to get to the "rice tooth". Ever just want to find a previous owner and beat the crap out of him?
We started taking it apart an noticed several bolts missing and set screws that hold the rollers in place missing. We are extremely lucky the rice tooth broke as the entire feeding system was about to self
destruct with all the missing/undersized bolts. The tine bar is damaged from undersized bolts being used to connect it to the chain. This has been the case on everything the previous owner has worked on -
put together wrong and usually without the correct bolts. The PTO and pickup were previous areas I worked on that he had "messed" with and required many new parts to replace his cobbled up mess that barely
worked. Really hoping the local salvage yard has the entire setup like they claimed they would. I'm up to $600+ in parts if I have to order from Messick's.
