Fransgard 390

We have bent the rotors on ours quite a few times working on ridge and furrow and I have become a dab hand at getting them back to being reasonably straight. Procedure as follows,
1. Check the bolts holding the rotor are all present and tight.
2. With the machine on a tractor stood on concrete, lift until the bottom of the rotor is about a foot off the floor.
3. Set a trolley jack under the edge of the rotor and then turn rotor by hand until the side hanging lowest touches the jack.
4. Put a wooden block on top of the gearbox and lower a loader boom on to it so that the machine can't lift.
5. Lift the jack to push the rotor up to straighten it then lower the jack slightly and spin the rotor until it catches the jack and then repeat. Keep rotating the rotor by hand and using the jack as a gauge keep pushing the rotor up where needed.

I use an 8 tonne high lift jack which seems boss of the job, Just force it up steadily each so that you don't go too far and check the bolts again when you've done.

Thanks!!
Will try that
