Aberdeen MS | If you have the vertical springs for the pads, they get filled up with dust and dirt and get sticky. Have to loosen the springs all the way up and pull the rods out of the tubes and clean em all up real good. Before you put them back together, loosen your connecting rods from the bar to the springs and readjust them after you tighten the springs back down.
Common problem on the 820's. I was having fits with mine all fall, changed the poteniometer, cleaned the spring tubes, reset the rods. Was just finicky as hell this year. Until Sunday that is, that's when the wobble box decided to eat the drive belt. The left pad was welded once before about 8 years ago, let go again. So the old gal got parked for it's last time yesterday morning and am running with a 1020 now. Never knew a header could run so smooth, that much difference between the two. Tough getting used 25' in dark when it's ingrained into the brain for 20'.
40 acres left (should've been done last Sat but the 820 just wasn't gonna give up without a fight) rain and snow coming in the next 24 hours. Will have to wait to finish now till maybe the weekend. | |
