Finishing up the new to me 1090, and noticed the guard closest to the sickle driver was loose. On closer inspection, I find that if I tighten this guard up, it puts upward pressure on the sickle head. According to the Agco parts book all guards are same, unless stub guards are installed, which I do not have.
Swapped around a few random guards, no change. Kinda perplexed here. Guards seem to be correct for this machine.
Any suggestions or ideas here? About to take a grinder and make the needed clearance to one of the more used up guards.
Also, I see someone recommended the stub guards in an earlier post. Never seen them on anything around here. Are they for specialized conditions or crops?
