Yeah I remember growing up dad keeping two, and always making one good one out the pair. Then he bought a brand new sitrex 300 in 2003 which has never been a problem.

Adapted an old wood chisel into a tool for putting tine springs on.

As I have said on the haymaking thread. We are using our contractors Claas Volto 770 this year, and probably end up buying either our own Volto or the Krone equivalent for next season.
Dad says every year that our kuhn 4 rotor tedder is one of the best things he has ever bought. He was tedding a 14 acre field with a haybob and a neighbour pulled into much bigger field just over the fence. They finished before he did with the haybob he went and bought one pretty soon after if not the next day. That was in 2002 or 03.

Done a 14 acre field for hay, (baled and carted today). and it was great having the Class tedder. Going to mow a 16 acre one tomorrow morning, it's nice to know that tedding it will take a fraction of the time it used to.

Wheels from axle
Pig of a job
Gave up
Assuming its the wider wheels then take the tyre and tube of and get a short length of timber and a sledge hammer and use against the inside of the rim
Grease it up well when you put it back on , won't make any difference when you need to take it off again but won't do any harm

They do stick abit right at the end of the shaft, tap the inside of the rim with a piece of wood and turn the wheel at the same time . Grease it well for next time
I must have removed dozens off haybob wheels over the years to fix punctures, i have never had this trouble before.

They are yes. Wait till bearings collapse and it drops off🤣

I know a 'well known straw contractor' in these parts who had it happen in the dark.......

.........didn't realise 'til he saw his tractor the next morning. Then had to go hunting his haybob 😃

My cousin had ground either side of town and was going up the high street with a krone mower folded up. Headstock let go and it landed in between two parked cars without marking either
