I picked up a model S8 0001 for a couple hundred bucks.
OK, OK...I know. It's ancient. It's belt driven. It's only 7 feet wide. But we have a little farm. I can also send my wife and/or daughter out to the field to tedd, without them needing to handle some traffic-stopping, fence-busting, 20' wide tedder...or trying to strong-arm the folding mechanism.
It needs teeth...a lot of teeth. The local farm supply store literally looked at me like I was an extra from the zombie apocalypse, when I showed them a tooth and asked if they had any.
Grimm is out of business now, right?
I picked up a brand new rubber mounted rake tooth (for a buck 99) at Tractor Supply...and I want to see if I can cowboy engineer a way to mount two of them on each arm, instead of teeth that I can't get.
All of the bearings and PTO stuff looks stock. I think I can get that anywhere (although mine are fine right now) in the future.
What about that big belt? Anyone know where I can get that monster drive belt, so that I have a spare?
