Project mower refurb

[Bury the Trash]

There is oil in the bed, also hexagon shaft which has snapped

I stand corrected .

....it's not like the bed of my zetor one then

 

[Bury the Trash]

Or at least there is oil in the drive end section, not opened the bed up yet apart from where the hole is

Ah yeah, there will be in there ....

As far as im aware of the lely stabilo tedders and the lely rakes have been discontinued since agco bought them, i dont know if its the same story for the mowers ?
im told now that if you want a tedder and a rake from agco your going to get a Fella one as they either own it or have shares in it.

Ah the joys, not only is the hexagon drive shaft broken but all 3 parts are twisted as well making it a right PITA to get out

Any issues getting the shaft? I've been trying to get one for a customer. Kramp were quoting June delivery and no one else seemed interested. Ended up getting a length of 14mm stainless. Then sods law the kramp order turned up 2 days later

We ordered 1 a while ago when we ordered most of the obvious parts but going through the box of parts it’s not there [emoji57] gonna wait till I get the rest completely stripped down to see if I need anything else, the ordered shaft was listed on invoice

Maybe Dave got yours

All stripped into the separate sections now just awaiting a few more parts before the rebuild, priced up a disc drive section thisafta as 1 went tight after knocking out a bit of twisted shaft, £420 for 1 complete unit like this

But on closer inspection I’d just damaged 1 of the bearings knocking out shaft, does anyone know if the discs are timed or just at 90’ to each other? They where at all sorts of angles with the shaft being broken and twisted

They are timed to 90deg
Fit the shaft then spin the unit until it lines up

 

[Bury the Trash]

No oil I c

 

[davidroberts30]

Change the grease in each unit now its apart

 

[ED.D]

did you get all your parts from agco? I love how people say lely mowers are crap, but what other mower could you stay using with a chunk that size gone out of it? In fact i'll say they are ideal for people who don't hear the blades cutting holes in the bed. braze it up and away you go again. an oil immersed bed would be written off.

Good job he’s not waiting for them off claas.

All 132 conditioner fingers either turned or changed, made easier with the right tools [emoji1303]

There is a left and a right drive unit. Make sure they go back in the same sequence as they came out.

When you say drive unit do you mean the section each disc sits on? I have every part marked anyway so it goes back the same way apart from new bits

And build it like I said turning every thing as you slot it together

...pain in the ass to strip it after you bolted it back in the mower coz 1 disc is wrong

Had a message this morning saying drive shafts are in so mustn’t have been a problem getting them

parts i believe wont be a problem altho id imagine the new owners are still only getting their house in order so to speak.

 

[Farmer_Joe]

seems like a wierd design, just because im used to cogs in the bed?

 

[tinman]

its probably served the op well but round here there isnt one of them afaik, any time ive been at a show ive heard lads on the stand complaining about how hard it is to get the twisted shaft out along with other faults.
