My New Holland 467 Haybine suffers from stuck torsion bars, from what I read it"s a common problem. Does anybody have any tips on how to free it up?
I"ve recently removed the links between the upper roller brackets and the torsion bar arms. At least now the upper roller is sitting down on the stops, before it was stuck up about 3/4" on one end. With the upper roller down on the stops the mesh between the rollers is correct, but there is only the weight of the upper roller holding it there. Has anyone run thier haybine in this manner? Will it work OK in grass hay?
I realize that I won"t get much crimping action with no tension on the rollers, but I"m hopeing that with the mesh correct at least it will cut down on the roller wrapping I had last cut.
