NH CX860 Straw elevator lower shaft dishes

[MikeNeaverson]

Going through the combine this week, and I've noticed that the straw elevator chain has worn one side of one of the idler dishes (pictured). The others all appear ok, so it seems daft to replace the whole lot. The dishes appear to be spun, and are welded on the tubular shaft. New Holland don't appear to do the dishes on their own - does anyone know where I might be able to procure one and weld on myself? NH would rather us by the whole shaft for over £1k.

 

[AKA]

Remove chain and fold a piece of flat steel round welding in situ as you go

It's got a flange on it to stop the chain moving that has completely gone so I'm not sure it's possible unfortunately. Have got the shaft off now anyway

I've welded one up before but that had just cracked round, get a complete shaft from a breaker - there's bound to be a burnt out cx somewhere
