1ST Question-I found a model 488 NH Haybine serial #686668. It looks to have been taken care of, but has been sitting outside for a couple of years since the man quit baling hay. It's Not rusty or bent up, but I didn't have a chance to look closely at the rollers. So give me a dollar ballpark figure with good rollers and a figure with bad rollers. Could you tell me the year also? I'm sure the second number is a 8, but could be a 6. I didn't have my glasses.2ND Question- My New Idea Disc model 528 is a parts machine. I noticed it has "LELY SYSTEM" on the back or Belt cover. Is it posible to fit another cutter bar off a different brand on this machine? If so what machines would work? Could the donner bar be shorter? Also could you tell me the year of this New Idea machine? Model 528-Serial #1000543 Next block- MD 10. Drum Mower Comment BTW, the only Drum Mower I ever saw that wasn't working, I bought, Realigned the driveline quill and rewelded both broken hinge brakets, mopped out the gearbox, put new gear oil-90WT.,slowly brought the belts to their proper tension, and have been mowing with it every season since 2003. Vermeer 211 by PZ ZWeegers. I love it, and Fergie (165), she loves it! Thanks again Doc; South Ga. Plowboy Thanks HayDr for your contributions to this site. You obviously have experience with many different brands the most of us don't know about.
