Anyone got a scrap JD456A/459 baler

[FG.]

Looking for various parts for 3 balers and having no luck finding a scrap one to cut a section out of the top of the chamber.
Tried Billy Whizz.

What parts do you need? I don't have any scrap but have made up chamber parts in the past

 

[FG.]

It's the top of the chamber, where the strippers bolt to and a little further back.
I can take a pattern off the other baler, but would be easier to just cut out of another, along with the strippers and skids etc.
There's a couple of 466 balers up the road, but they are completely different

By the strippers do you mean the curved channels that the aluminium packer fingers run between?

I've repaired two balers where these have let go and the baler eaten itself. I reprofiled the sections that they attach to in the chamber and welded them back in. You'll need to re shim the plunger but never had any more issues since then.

Apologies if we're talking at crossed purposes on the machine

Unfortunately the strippers are beyond reprofiling and one of the 'tongues' they bolt tonis also history.
Even further back (or sideways) it's been pushed up.
Telehandler pulling the front of plunger and bottom jack in rear of chamber, was needed to encourage the plunger back.
Straighten a few bits on plunger and runs nicely.

Oh, if it was just the tongues that's not too bad of a job to replace but bent further back isn't so easy.

What happened to cause it?
