Rebuilding New Holland Baler Plunger

[@mountainblokemoments]

Came to KZbin looking for bearing replacement on my 275 plunger. 275 is not the same as yours but similar gives me the confidence to pull the plunger myself. Thanks for the video👍🏼

[@wildcatwilly]

Your welcome thanks for the comment!

Remember when my grandpa taught me how to do this as a visually impaired person. These bearings have always been a pain in the butt for me to find. Especially when the bailout chamber is covered in rust and crap. Also remember being a stacker I was one of the few people who actually enjoyed doing it. Because I had a vision impairment I always hated bailing but would drive the tractor if needed as sometimes on a farm you just have to do what you have to do.

[@wildcatwilly]

Yes that is certainly true.

[@tonypaul2987]

String not wire. Lol great job. Got a bad back from doing this on the farm. Never picking up another square bale.

[@wildcatwilly]

Thanks for watching.

[@baldovaquera5208]

Thanks for sharing you knowlage. It helped me with my 320

[@DuchesnesCorner]

Took me 3 hours a tractor and a truck to pull the plunger on my 271. The layers of steel swelled with rust between them in the chamber. Good job though.

Usually equipment runs best when run at its designed speed, but I'm all for taking it easy on a fresh repair. "Replace everything" is a general rule for any place that repairs for a living. Unscrupulous places might do it to sell more parts, but most places it's a matter of it's better to charge more and have a happy customer than to try to get by cheap and have something fail. And, not only that, if they come back, you are spending more time on the same repair instead of bringing in another new customer.

we have a 316. just put new plunger knifes on this season. not no hard but they are sharp. took a little skin off.

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Good video thank you. I need to replace my bearings on a new holland 376

[@robert9510]

I haven’t seen anything a wildcat couldn’t fix. Great video buddy

Cool thanks for watching!

[@danielhutson3249]

How many hours would you say it took all together

[@wildcatwilly]

Took me a day but you can hustle and don't in about 6 hours.

[@Kt-ro2fm]

I'm not scared at all watching this !

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ont Canada Never seen a wire tie baler. We had smaller model 273 twine. Is wire more expensive than twine or why did they come out with wire tie. Good job on baler, didn't realize that there was so many bearings. Thanks

[@wildcatwilly]

Thanks for watching we like wire tie. Balers.

[@mauriciomeraz1069]

Nice video, thanks

[@wildcatwilly]

Thanks for watching.

[@alimughal8570]

Good job man....

[@Xealuz]

I see you have a couple hay dogs missing. My 320 kept busting them until I realized that there's little rubber stops that need replaced at the same time. Is the pickup hydraulic cylinder factory or farmer fab'd? Also, I like the replacement bale length meter - much better than the clamped on deal.

[@wildcatwilly]

I believe the farmer made it he baled 10000 bale a year.

[@ruedaricardo]

How did you determine it was time to check and replace the plunger bearings? Is there a way to diagnose them before pulling the plunger out of the baler?

[@wildcatwilly]

One of them was out and it was hammering. Honestly if you think it needs done it does needs done. Hope that helps. It was very easy to do.

[@ruedaricardo]

@@wildcatwilly Thanks. Did you source the bearings from NH?

[@wildcatwilly]

Yes my local dealer Midwest tractor newton IL

[@chrisswin8976]

The only thing that comes to mind is re measuring everything.

[@harshdeeps]

Can you please tell the bearing numbers as well bearing number u had changed

[@wildcatwilly]

That's way too long ago my friend... Talk to your dealer

[@pamjacob7374]

How do you get the plunger back in? we're having problems getting it back in. We did replace bearings & knife

[@wildcatwilly]

I believe you have to have the knife removed to get it back in.

[@pamjacob7374]

@@wildcatwilly thanks.

[@pamjacob7374]

Thank you, we got it in. Appreciate the advice

[@ernestjoiner3040]

I learned recently that square bales come in two sizes: 14"x18"x35 (40-50lb) or 16"x22"x44" (90-100lb), and I definitely prefer the smaller sized ones. When searching used equipment online, I am no farmer.. have no idea what baler models I should for be on the look. Is your NH baler chambered for making a 14" x 18" or 16" x 22" bale? My Dad likes wire.. so we may ought to be after the same model as yours here. Appreciate any help :)

[@wildcatwilly]

I'm not too sure on the size it is somewhat standard I believe. I've not seen any that are the smaller size. You can also adjust the length of your bail if you want them lighter.

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

16 x18 is what 285 was, 68 was 14x18, and they needed to be 38-42 if u had someone pick them up with a bale wagon, looked like u could have handled 2 windrows at once

[@luischora5781]

Hola,can You send a picture how You put the hydraulic to lift the baler head,

[@wildcatwilly]

Sure Facebook me William Stodden

[@mitchp350]

In your opinion, would the twine baler be better or worse? Or really does not matter?

[@wildcatwilly]

I have heard of people losing sales due to having wire tied bales. That has never been the case for me but certain people don't like wire. I've always liked having wire.

[@mitchp350]

@@wildcatwilly Cost wise, more expensive?

[@wildcatwilly]

Wire is slightly more expensive but not enough to worry about. Wire does have an advantage it's easier to find when all of the twine will be sold out not as many people use wire. I liked wire because it made a byproduct you could use instead of worthless baling twine.

What happened to the Aussie horse A u ss i e ?

[@wildcatwilly]

Come again?

[@ni1469]

Also if your pulling the plunger as with any repair that can potentially become a b*tch it’s better to replace all bearings at one time vs saving a dime then doing the project again

[@wildcatwilly]

It was easy for me but I can't argue with that statement.

[@ni1469]

@@wildcatwilly I learned that lesson on the disk after pulling the same gang to replace every bearing one at a time and the annoyance of it
