Fella single rotor rake

[glasshouse]

Has anyone dismantled one of these?
Rotor turning free but something must be broken inside

Had my twin rotor fella apart this summer to fit new crown wheel and pinion,you have to pill out the input/pinion shaft as the crown wheel is above it,a bearing went on input shaft on mine ,whats wrong with yours

iirc there's a roll pin through the pinion gear that shears. We had a single rotor fella years ago, had to replace needle bearing on the pinion shaft, was an arse of a job. Not the toughest in the world, but better built than a tarrup.
Replaced my fella eventually with a Pottinger - different league.

I think my roll pin has sheared.
How did you sort it?

Obviously different to the twin rotor as there isn't any roll pin

Tried bashing the centre shaft out today, but only moved about an inch, i needs an insert now to keep it moving

I cant be sure there is a roll pin

Left it attached to a tractor, and took the wheel assembly off, then stripped it from the bottom up, iirc. It wasn't bad to do, but I do remember there been a lot of parts on the workshop floor, and dad coming in one day with a "whaaat the **** are you doing"?
My Pottinger rake came in 2010, so it was before then, memory is a bit foggy on the exact detail.

You must pull out the input shaft c/w bearings,the crown wheel is above it ,the opposite way around to how you would expect so cannot be split without removing input,I have doe both sides of my twin rotor,one in September and the other side a couple of years ago,once this is removed take out the stud with the grease nipple in it ad as said above leave it held up on the tractor and drive the shaft out,mine was very tight and needed a bit of heavy walled tube and plenty of sledge hammer!

Resurrect old thread.
Just trying to do one now.
Any breaker bits about as arm sheared off and possibly need shim up if possibly?

Looks like centre casting gone.
Can bits be sourced or is that it?
Would any newer machines be compatible possibly??

Fella still in business but sold as Massey Ferguson here ( still fella in Germany ). Parts should all be available

Could be completely different but looks similar to a krone where you take the bolt out either side of the broken arm and can then pull out the unit with the broken arm?
