I called a man about a JD 14T baler the other day. He said It needed Bushings on the Plunger. Is this a tough job and how expensive? He's not wanting much for it.

I have a 24T, and I believe the 14T is pretty close to the 24T in setup. The plunger bushings are where the crank from the gear box attaches to the big "arm" that pushes the plunger back to compress the hay. There are bushings on both ends of the plunger arm, which can get worn out from the action of the baler.

The 24T book recommended greasing these bushing every 2 hours of operation. How many people do you think actually did that? Look over the baler closely, but just because the plunger bushings are loose doesn't mean the rest of the machine is junk.

I replaced the connecting rod bushings this Spring on my 24T. $85 for the set of 4. I put shims behind the ones on the crank because the crank had to have the burrs filed off from letting it go too long before I got it. The crank was .045 too small so I got some .020 brass shim stock to put behind the bushing on each side. The other end was egged so I put a piece behind the donut bushing on each side. Worked really well, found you have to put the pin thru the plunger end first before the crank tho. HTH

What with the age of a 14t, I would think that unless one is really wanting one to restore for an implement display purpose, that a new baler would be more likely to give service that is reliable enough for use. The 14t ws a really wonderful baler in it's day, my father owned one for over 30 years, but if someone was really wanting a baler to bale with, I'd be looking for a 336 at least!

Better find out what he is REALLY telling you. I'm looking at a 14T book right now, and there are NO plungerhead bushings, only wear pads. Or, does he mean the bushing in the connecting rod is bad????

I have a J.D. 224 and these balers should be pretty close. There should be two bolts that hold the plunger and plunger arm in place. The plunger should have about 5 bearings, these are not to bad to change. Just pull it out the back of the baler. The arm that connects will come out as well and there is one larger bearings on it. Where it connects will be another bearing. See which ones are out and call J.D. and they should be able to tell you the price. I replaced the plunger bearings last week in mine and they were $38 each plus shipping. Hope this helps.

I"m not much help with the specifics, but I"m guessing it would be a pretty tough job unless you"re really handy and have a well equipped shop.

If the rest of the baler is really good it might be worth it to have the dealer do the job. I once bought a well used 14-T and after I found someone who really knew how to work on it, it baled a lot of hay for a total investment of well under a thousand dollars.

But if the plunger has that much wear on it, I have to wonder how much wear all the other mecnanisms have. Just a few thoughts to chew on.
