Bustin' Wrenches

Rebuilding the cutter bar on my old swather.

No sooner than got the outfit drug in from the country, pulled in the yard and the trucking outfit called and said my parts were in. Good timing!

I even managed to get a few of the little rascals bolted on today. Hope to get 'er aligned and shaggin' tomorrow.

That Hydro 70 thinks it is gonna just draw baby sittin' duty, but little does it know that it gonna be spinnin' this old heifer across the Nebraska plain one of these days..... If it doesn't hail out the hay, that is. :>)

Hope your day went well too.

But, you probably know what you're doing. I don't. :>)

Allan

Last one I did was a John Deere #8 mower; 'bout the same thing only it didn't have a reel that I was always dingin' my head on. :>)

Allan

There's lots of 'em "a little loose" yet. :>)

I just rattled down the ones without the fingers. Still gotta fit the skid shoes on the outsides too (they swing down from a couple of guard bolts on each side).

Allan

I noticed that they were a bit weak in the middle. Good idea!

Allan

Don't 'spose that did the shoe any good either; couldn't even lift it out front. Had to have been wearing that shoe like crazy. :>(

Not looking forward to ever changing one of these again. That puppy was heavy!
