BB 1290 Baler Front Crank

[samsung]

Front Crank takes straw from pick up reel and delivers to the pre chamber.
Ours broke last night, Is there any balers anywhere in breakers ?
Its nearing the end of the season so a mega quick fix isnt essential.
Has this happened to other balers ?
It looks as though its been partially broken for a while.
Any potential cause ?

Pretty sure we were 5-6k to get ours replaced. Sure a decent engineer could weld it up again.

You mean the packer crank ?. Is it the same part no as a BB950 one ?, I know NH sometimes carry the parts over for a good few years as I may know where there is one for a 950 !.

We had ours go on our 2014 1270. Approx £4K for the crank. Dealer had one in stock which says a lot !
