Just thinking....
There are MANY "Prairie Dinosaurs" (Threshers) all over my state and wondering what it takes to get one operational? Never worked with one but am fairly knowledgeable on farm equipment
1. I am guessing for parts you are on your own, left to fabricate anything you might need, including flat belts and chains, Im also guessing anything that may be missing is going to be EXPENSIVE to fabricate or replace if you even do it yourself? could you make new belts out of round baler belt and lace them together yourself?
Never looked real close, but are these machines typically equipped with modern bearings? or are they just greased bushings? If shafts are froze or rusted up can it be freed up?
How big of a mess is this to get into or should I just forget it? I don't want to have more than a few bucks tied up in one deffinately not thousands.
Thanks in advance for advise....
