Classics Earning their keep.

Definitely.
What is the thinking on the piece of steel on the side/bottom of spout ?
Strength or draught ?
Have you rebuilt the spout or chute ?

the short props started to bend so were strengthening brackets added.

think we have a feed roller problem, so again classic last few acres giving most grief

Tell me about it … I could have brought the last 3 acres in as quickly using the wheelbarrow. Admittedly we had a thunder shower at that time . So grass was wet and heavy . But it was 7 pm , and the help would be gone that night .
My spout has worn through on the left hand corner , had a bit of sheet on the corner , but it was catching inside. Either need to get busy cutting folding and welding , or pay the JF Centre in Tullamore an expensive visit.

[Tomr10]

In all of the different threads there seems to be more "classics" working than new stuff ,or should I say had to get the old girl out as my new really expensive thing is broke because the computer said no

 

[Steveyboy!]

Still turns out a good bale for a 40 odd year old machine.

Got one here, tho not been out the shed in 10 years! 40 odd years ago with the 5000 on the front Dad could go out and bale 9 acres after tea! Never got her to go on plastic string however.
