Has anyone in the Staffordshire/Shropshire border area got a MF 224 baler I could take a look at? I'm trying to help a friend fix his baler that has sheared off some teeth in the feed finger drive bevel gearbox . We have replacement bevel gears, but no way of knowing how the feed fingers are timed relative to the plunger.
If I could take a look at the baler and turn it over by hand at the flywheel, I think I should be able to figure it out.
Thanks in advance

Failing seeing one, the feeder finger nearest the ram, should exit the chamber and point of finger inline with top of chamber, the ram should be about 3 inches away from the point of the nearest feeder finger as a rough setting

I think a 124 would be more or less the same and they are much more common, I have one but you are to far away, I do also have a book

Thanks very much. If you could take any photos, that would be really useful

I am pretty sure that Andrew Walley from Stoke would be able to help you with this, if you need it. Find him on Facebook as The Baler Doctor.

No problem, if you need anything else just ask.

Might be best to fit a new packer drive chain while you're at it. It broke on our 124 and everything ended up in a bit of a mess, it even managed to bend the crank on the far packer.
