Went to try out the MoCo I am thinking of buying from the neighbor. It has sat for a number of years, since he bought the farm from his in-laws. The farm came with a NH 1475.

Went 50 ft and it plugged. Unplugged it and went 50 feet and broke the belt that drives the reel. Went to town , got a belt and started her up. The hay left in the head plugged it. Unplugged it again and went 50 ft and plugged again. (I am a glutton for punishment). Shifted to 1st gear and crept along. Had to push the clutch in and stop every 10 feet or so to let material flow through. I could see hay flying up on the right side between the auger and the reel. For some reason every plug was only on the right side. After running for a minute or so to let everything clear there was a lot of hay still behind the auger on the right side. After getting back to the yard, I looked her over. There is about a quarter of an inch gap between the auger and the scraper bar. The neighbor only has a parts book, no operator's manual, but this book has a note to set the gap at .06. Couldn't try anything today since it rained another two thirds of an inch. I know nothing about MoCos and augers, but will that big a gap cause this kind of problem? Any input would be appreciated.

Reads like you need to sharpen or replace all your cutter bar blades, or even the whole new cutter bar. Check also the rock guards. Clearances too sloppy also contributes to poor clean cutting.

Bottom line, if the crop isn"t cut cleanly the tines and augur can"t sweep it away to the crusher.
