Mike aint you got something better to do? Have you tried taking them to Motion Industries and matching your bushings and bearings. One of these days Ill get over for a beer

 

[Ande]

Did someone say beer?

 

[pathand13]

Mike may never get the answer to his question if we start talking about it over beer.
MIKE have you tried Otters Equip in burlington Wisc. thats were I got the threshing belt for the 303. Wasnt cheap but is was the right one

 

[Ill John]

John, Pat, barley pop is always the right start, just might take a little longer to get the right answer. Was able to get only one set of bushings at Motion Industries. Tomorrow I will call Otter see what they have.

Ah yes, good ol dirty hairy! I worked for him for a spell one summer. Mike, I think I met you at the Allis show in the grove 2005. I have been trading MM parts with John for some time. He ever ask you about some MH combine parts?

 

[Ande]

Not sure Mike,guess I have been on here a few years,whats on your mind

 

[Mike Hunter]

Well today I called Otters, they located some bushings but no strawalker bushings, so I gotta make those. They didn't have the threasher belt etither. Know what, n.o.s. search or custom made?

[Mike Hunter]

No 1031D don't recall meeting you, but Pat come over the other day we managed a 8-pack "o" beer. Examine the 203 belt might be that the belt to start with never can disengage. Otters don"t have it their dealer to dealer search and the strawalker bushings we are making out of clear red oak, they didn't have ash at the menards.
Who can custom make a threasher belt 2 inches by 168 inches 12 rib. orBelt no. 606558r21.

Can it have a lace in it? I have been looking for 2 inch belting for my CASE thresher and can only find it in a roll, if it can have a lace in it I could do it for you. I accually have better luck with Treibold in whitewater because they always seem to go the extra mile to find you your part, unlike ol dirty harry. If you need a one piece belt, I have had luck taking the old rubberized canvas belts to a tent maker and having them lace and stitch them and they look like new. I think the one I went to last time was just north of Richmond by the old dog and suds.
