OUrs has the cimper dirve sprocket welded (but the weld broke) to the shaft. I noticed it rigth away but it's still on there and me being a machinist I'm not too worried, when it's time to fix it I'll do it right. Not too exicted to go after it now anyways with the weld gobbed onto the shaft.

I worked at a shop that makes sprockets so thats where I go now whenever I need one. Agco was one of our customers and many of the prints had Hesston on them so I'm sure they've probably got all the components on the shelf to weld up a new one when the time comes.

I might look at it in a few weeks, I'm thinking about taking the crimper off and using it to cut the oats ahead of the combine. Got a few weeds in there and they rarely lower the platform low enough to get all the straw when they do combine it, unless we cut it ahead of time for extra dry-down.

Ours came with a 1" bolt thru the ball joint and extension, but the ball joint has a 1 1/8" hole like a lower Cat. 2 3 pt. pin, so that's exactly what I mounted on there instead of the bolt that constantly came loose. I drilled a hole through the other bolt to the drawbar for a safety key though. The newer machine we rented a few years back had the same set-up as ours does now. works great, as long as you don't loose the linch pin....
