Does anyone know if the main gearbox will interchange on these balers? Your thoughts on a 320 balers performance, issues ? CNH website isnt showing it right now.
 
Different. 320 will be a lot more strokes a minute. Mounting is different also. Fix the 320 and have a newer baler.
 
273 is 70 strokes versus a 320 at 105 strokes a minute. 320 is a nice baler but most people try to push them too hard. Same wear points as the 273 being the tine bar is prone to break from trying to feed too much hay into the baler to fast.
Have repaired some in the past and am working on one right now.
Performance wise, both balers are just as good as the upkeep on them. No maintenance = no work.

273 was built from 1968-1977 and the 320 was built from1975 to 1983.
 
Well I think the gearbox is gone in it also, you can turn it more than a 1/4 turn before the arm moves. i think that spells stripped gears.
