Neighbor has one that's only taking up space and wants to be rid of it for a song. Floor's fair to middlin', rest of the machine seems in fair to good shape. Lower conveyor chains are good. Biggest problem is the upper conveyor chain got broke, and one of those bars broke clean in half. Chain itself looks pretty good, except at the broken links at the bar. Not exactly sure why it broke, but in taking a look seems like the idler pulleys on the inside of the tailgate aren't lining up exactly with the idler gears. Could be the chain jumped the gear due to a worn idler, or misadjustment. Also the cams have little grooves in them, don't know if that's good or bad.
I'm pretty good with machines, but don't know squat about chain balers. How can you tell if those idler wheels are wore out? Idler bearings are a little sloppy, but not terrible. Main drive bearings all are good.
Thanks.
