Sorry to hear about the mess. Mine has a double nut on the ball joint to drawbar extension. Parts book shows bolt with slotted nut with a cotter pin.

Did lots of work on mine this spring. Bunch of new cutting parts, bunch of new reel teeth, new auger stripper teeth. Straightened the lip the guards bolt on to. New to me drive sprocket on the auger(the hub and shaft were damaged. Since they were tapered it was easier to replace than have the machine shop repair). New bearings on the lower conditioner roller. Found out these bearings have extended inner races, and are not just run of the mill spherical ball bearings. The shaft on that roller was grooved from a bad bearing turning, so I welded it up and had it machined back down. The end of the shaft was not true so the machine shop took a sixteenth off and I got a tapered hub sprocket, with the new diameter, to replace the original. The original sprocket's bore was damaged.

New idler sprockets on the auger drive, re aligned both chain drives, shimmed the reel up, cleaned up the auger slip clutch and reset the tensioning springs. She runs smooth and cuts really nice now.

Check your drive sprockets on the conditioner rolls. Both mine and the one in the wreckers yard showed that they had come loose and extra measures had been taken to secure them. Mine had lost the Gib key and a bolt with a ground square profile beat in as a replacement. The sprockets on the wrecker's machine had been welded on.

John
