Hesston, help me out

How do I get to AGCOs parts diagram for the 1120 haybine? I need to get the number (and hopefully dimensions) for the 2 drive belts for the cutter bar drive. I seem to be going in circles on the AGCO site.

Enter as a guest,type 1120 in the search box,then scroll down the left side to find it. Click on it and it'll take you to the parts book for it.

Order your belts from JayDee Enterprises.Google em. Good quality,and MUCH cheaper than OEM.I use em frequently.If you still have the old belts,get the OEM part number off the belt.Jaydee can cross and get you the belts.They can also work with measurements if numbers are not visible.

Thanks rrlund. I wasn't hitting the "View Books" key.

Go to the Agco web site and find the part number for the belts. JayDee will list the belts with the same part number, I paid about $25.00 for a pair, including shipping, earlier this year. Agco was about $50.00 each.

You can also go to Messicks or CaseIH parts websites and look up model 8330.

Yeah, I know that NOW! I spent a couple hours trying to find parts. Finally stumbled onto Messicks site and the 8330. Got a mess of stuff enroute! I believe New Holland also had a rebadged Hesston in their lineup but I couldn't determine which one it was. That's based on a dealer I called telling me I could get the parts from either AGCO or NH.

There was also a MF version too, the 1459 after AGCO bought them.

We rebuilt the half swaybar drive on our Hesston 1110 and it's a new machine - kinda....

Runs and cuts great. Very easy job rebuilding the drive. No disrespect to NH haybines, but the Hesston 1110/1120 design has to be one of the
best, most simplest mower conditioners ever built. If they still made them new, I'd consider one.

Let us know how you get along with the Hesston.

I liked the video. I've posted quite a few questions here about our old PT-1070; which I think is the next model older than your 1110? A lot of the metal work on your 1110 is a dead ringer. We've had ours for three years now. It was a mess when I bought it for just over scrap value.

Since we've had it, we've:
Rebuilt all five bearings in the swaybar drive (the four little ones and the big one)
Replaced just about every section on the knife.
Replaced all of the guards.
Replaced all of the sprockets for the reel drive. (except the big one).

Replaced various cover holding nuts, bolts and bent dented covers and shields back to straight; while welding washers over broken out mounting holes...

But this summer, I thought it was done. The little stub shaft that connects the reel drive sprocket to the reel cracked out of the collar that centers it in the reel and drives the reel.

It took some creative work to weld a PTO yoke onto the end of that shaft and essentially rebuild a new reel drive mechanism.

I don't know if this link works; but I made a FaceBook album of that whole mess here:

BUT... The last couple of times that I've mowed, it is now, finally working like a champ. I'm actually stopping mowing because I'm done...not because I'm broke down.

PS...If anybody actually looks at the pictures; please don't judge me about some of the dents and such in the old girl. They came with her. She actually has fewer dents than when I got her three years ago.

Also should say...

When we rebuilt the swaybar; we replaced both of the sickle drive belts; just like the original poster here.

I just bit the bullet and got them from the dealer. The guy at the parts counter said that they come as a "matched pair" and just buying two separate belts the same size wouldn't work as good.

Now...the "matched pair" that I got did work very well; but I'm still trying to figure out how much credence to give to that statement.

What? Somebody at Agco buys hundreds or thousands of belts and then measures them with even more resolution than when they left the belt factory and then puts pairs of them together, based on a very fine resolution measurement??? Really?

I wonder if Snopes has a page about that.
