She's looking right purdy now!
Very nice, check those stripper arms the one on the right looks pretty loose. Hard to tell in them picture. If those are loose you will break bilhooks very quick further more always carry a spare one.
Those fellers are going to be beat. This may be your plan if so success!Putting these boys to work.....
The arms are adjusted by way of hammer most of the time. The best way to set them is a note card if it fits between the bilhook and stripper arm you almost may be too far apart if it fits but Mars it pretty bad that seems to be perfect
Did you bring your sombrero that Deere hath no cab.Magnum783: for some reason it's what the farmer wanted.
These guys are David Martin mennonites.
I was hired to bale for them with tractor and baler while they do the manual work.
They even take the full wagons with a team of draft horses.
3,500 bales went through that day.
I just sit and move a few levers and a steering wheel....
Biggest thing is the gap it too tight it cuts the strings instead of pull them off if it's too loose it doesn't get then off at all and then bilhook a break faster than anyone can build them. Google bailer parts karney Nebraska there is a placeI'll check that.
That arm is indeed malleable and you bend it to get it adjusted. If you take out the bottom bolt, you can lift the whole knotter on that side up. Once you lift it, you can check the sweep of the wiper across the bottom of the bill hook. It should rub but not scrape. If there is too much clearance, the knot will hang and a birds nest of twine will suddenly appear .
Can't remember if I shared this vid earlier or not?
