Of course, every Hesston by Massey Ferguson dealer is fully backed-up by the AGCO customer support organization, which provides industry-leading parts supply through AGCO Parts' state-of-the-art warehousing and logistics. State-of the art warehousing and logistics from AGCO Parts Didn't have the Bridgeport then, if I was to do it again I'd build up with weld, then use the Bridgeport to get a perfectly round hole.Our main goal is to ensure that every machine - old or new - is fully supported locally, offering every Hesston by Massey Ferguson owner: Took the wire welder and built up the wore spot then used a die grinder to make it round again. I did have something similar on a grain platform though, had a 3/4' bolt thru it and the hole was egg shaped, never broke the bolt but was impossible to keep tight. Thats another possibility I hadn't thought of as our New Holland never had that, bolts would last long enough to wear a few of the bushings out in the sickle head then snap. If you could rivet it somehow that would take up the slack in the worn holes. Probably slightly worn holes allowing the bolts to wear and then break. Also check the register on the sickle and make sure if any adjustment is available that it is adjusted correctly. Also make sure you don't have any guards bend up from hitting rocks, stones, or other obstructions. Make sure you have good guards, sections and that the knife back isn't wore. Would usually eat up the rubber bushings in the knife head then every couple of bushings would shear the grade 8 bolt that connected the knife head to the box. If it's the bolt that connects the knife head to the wobble box it was a common problem with the 495 as well. Is it the bolts that hold the wobble box to the frame or the bolt that connects the knife to the wobble box? We used to have a New Holland 495, was a 12' cut but with a single wobble box unlike the 499 which used dual 6' sickles with dual wobble boxes. UT done a test on the recovery time on orchard grass cutting it at 1 inch compared to 4 inches and it was unreal how much faster it started growing than the grass cut close. We have started cutting about 4 inches high and it has helped a bunch with keeping a good stand of grass.
Also the quality of hay you are cutting can help help you decide whether you need the1110 or a disc mower. It will be a lot slower than a disc mower. I would check it out and if it has been well maintained I would not be afraid of it. Dad uses the 1110 all the time and it does a great job crimping the hay.

Hard to see, but here are my rollers, before.
Timing the rolls is not hard, nor setting the gap, but you will need a manual to do it. Each listing with your parts book or service manual.
