Today I had a field to cut so last night I hooked up the NH 461 haybine to the Farmall Hand today about 10 the dew had burned off and I went out to mow. About two hours into mowing the field the rear U joint on the drive shaft blew up, both yokes were broken. Looks like the cross failed and then the two yokes battered each other. Went to town, nothing to be had that will work. Came home, got the Ford 501 that has been sitting in the weeds since 2009, made a new pitman stick out of ash wood since the old one was rotten, greased it and got back out to the field. Broke a knife section, couldn't beat the old rivets out with a punch and 2 lb hammer so I drilled them out, replaced the section, back to the field and finished cutting at 9 PM. Not one of my best days, and now I will have to try to find driveline parts for the haybine. Does anyone know a salvage yard that might have those parts? Maybe I should just go back to using the sicklebar, seems like the haybine spends more time broken down than working. Zach
