how to inspect NH 489 wobble box

Can anyone tell me how to do this. All I know is that the wobble box is at the end of the sickle perhaps ? pictures would be helpfull. I can"t even find a picture of what a wobble box looks like. An explanation of what it does might help me find if if I understand its function.

Sorry for the lack of insight, just starting a 5 year journey to acquiring used haying equip.
Thanks,

A simple trunion affair afixed to a "bent" shaft, which rides on two opposing "wheel bearings" within the "box".

Grab it and give it a shake.

From what I've heard from our accountant (who has 22 years experience dealing with farmers) there will be a LOT of people involved with traditional farming activities getting out soon. Get your name out there and get some offers in before the bank moves in was his recommendation. Then I can talk to the owner of the machine. Hard pressed to take a chance at an auction is my feeling now.

Don't mind buying used, but this forum helps narrow down the safe bets and those popular models will come around.

I'll certainly post the results if I end up going. Here's the link to the auciton site (goto off site unreserved auction):

Here's a local web site that shows some local private prices that I really like:

I need to find out more about this NH 276 hayliner baler. For $1500 that sounds like a good deal.

Thanks,
