Good video Ray always wondered how one of those works. I like watching baler over hauls it fascinates me.

Much nicer to work on than an offset!! 😁 Had a few stripped down in the shop. Way too much experience with them, but rather run and work on them than the others!!!

@@michiganhay7844 keep everything in order, that's the biggest thing.. if the stuffer cam gets too worn change it!!! Our first one looked great, had a new cam bearing.. we found out why. I saw and felt the wear on the cam, but it's a lot of work to change. So.... Ya, it causes a self distructive vibration. It can crack the wiper mounts, then the plunger hits and makes a bug Fvcking mess!!! So just make sure you check things over once in a while. Replaced the self distructive one with a brand new one.. had good luck with it so far!!!

Gosselin Farms Ed Gosselin hey Ed thanks you know I was curious about the stuff for cam how do you tell if it has where besides obvious movement I jiggled mine and it feels super tight but you really can’t get in there to see too much?

Those square balers seem a little more finicky then the big rounds. Looks like you got her all tuned up n minty 👌 thanks for the interesting video. Cheers 🍻 from Prairie Sunset Ranch ☀️

Hey man! Thanks for the video! I did a lot of work on an old one I bought, got it all back together and noticed I have that exact same play you do. I'm confident I can pull the plunger / looks easy. When you said you had a friend "make" that pin, you mean literally? Out of what grade steel etc? I got a price on a replacement pin and it's like $300 from agco.

@@michiganhay7844 One last question - how did you get that wrist pin out? Lots of break-free, some heat, and a lot of persuasion has yielded nothing. I'm about to give up and just drop the whole plunger at a machine shop, but not sure anyone around here has a press big enough. Also, which direction did it come out? Toward the key-end or the other end?
@michiganhay78442 жыл бұрын
@@jamesmapledoram727 I actually don’t recall having much of a problem to get that wrist pin out I’m pretty sure I took it out the end of where the keyway is but I don’t actually remember the keyway being there there’s two hex bolts that drill that hold it in I remember we had to drill those holes. It must be that those brass bushings were completely shot and that wrist pin must’ve fused on the crank arm I guess I do know there were grooves that were ground into mine and that probably is the problem where your bushings were there’s probably grooves and it’s probably hanging up on those
