I have two of these Hesston 1070 haybines.
Both header springs have failed on my runner.
I pulled both springs off of my spare.
The plan is, to put the working springs on my runner... then unthread the plug from the ends of broken springs and rethread to make a shorter spring.... probably need to get some threaded rod to extend the bolt at the other end.
Looking at the two springs that I pulled out of my spare, looks like one already had this operation done to it.
I'm going to have to measure the broken ones on my runner.... maybe they have been reworked once... not sure if I can do it again.
Yes? No?
New springs are probably spendy...
