Well, I've gone thru the archives and now know all the bad about the 241, but for 300.00, I couldn't resist. It's in pretty good shape. We tried it out today, but it stopped feeding quickly. We narrowed it down to the pickup slip clutch, maybe? The roll pin is broken on the ends with enough left to hold it in. There is @ 1/8" clutch pad stuck to the outer face of the sprocket. The sprocket seems to be worn unevenly and the tooth seems to ride on the link every 2 teeth later and pops back into place for a couple of teeth. I'm wondering if the clutch pad is worn, how thick is a new pad? How often does the sprocket need to be replaced, has anyone else gone thru this? Or am I in need of experience feeding this beast? TIA

My pickup slips rather easily also - but I have found if the stuff feeds in it is usually never a problem

to help feed better I am going to coat that first smooth steel roller with spray on pickup bed liner stuff - that should give it a little more grab - someone (maybe the factory has put little strips of welding on it to help - but once that thing gets shined up it is very slippery -

I also remember now - it really only slips when i am trying to start a bale and it doesn't)

I do have a question for you though - do your 4" wide belts turn when the chamber is empty - or are they still too loose - the ides is a ball of hay has to get in there - then it tightens up the belts - then the whole hing start spinning and the bale is formed -

my 4" belts don't turn when the chamber is empty - and the one steel that drives them is also very slick and smooth - so that is going to get the bedliner treatmnet also - new belts have a more rubbery feel and much better traction on the steel roller but mine ar e so old they feel like leather - and not a lot of traction - but for my 10 to 20 bales a year - works great -

The bed liner treatment is a good idea. I am not sure about that small roller, but should work great on the feed roller. As for the belts only turning after a little hay has accumulated in the bale chamber that is normal, they were designed this way.

Hang in there and you will get the hang of it. They are fair old rollers. I have a 241 and a 2400 that we bought new in 1980, which is almost exactly like the 241. With the 241 sometimes when hay is very dry it will not feed well due to that slick steel roller in the throat. The 2400 has a rubber roller that works much better. I have rolled thousands of rolls with both. Parts are still available at IH. Get ready those parts are high for it. That lower belt is over 500 dollars. They sale a tape to put on that steel roller I spoke of that will help a lot in the feeding of dry hay. I have never had to replace the sprocket you spoke of, but could go at any time. You need to get an operators manual for it as it will explain all adjustments and have the lube charts for it. They are available at IH or Binder books. When starting a roll it is inpairative to start on the very edge of the pick up and quickly switch sides or outside belt will slip off before you can get the roll started. It may take a little practice, but they will work. While rolling switch from one side of windrow to other frequently to assure even feeding. You feed the edges and the middle will take care of its self. If you need any other help be sure and ask. I do have lots of experiance with these machines. My email is open.

I'm letting a neighbor use it since I don't have a tractor with hyd. remotes yet. He started feeding before I got to see it working. The windrows are huge. Nearly as wide as the baler and @4-6" deep. He ran up on it before he realized what he done. After pulling some of it out it started jumping on the chain and slipping. I got new clutch pads and roll pin today. I'll change 'em soon and try it again. I like the idea of rubberizing the roller. The belts are pretty old but seem to work ok. I haven't got enuf hay in it yet, but I noticed they weren't turning. I'm not giving up on it till I get a couple of bales of hay thru it. If it takes to much work after that, I'll get rid of it. Thanks for the replies.
