A little warranty work

Got the baler needles back from SV a while back. He was able to get a new one now and the ones I did weren't quite right.

The one sticking up is the new one. Since I didn't have a good one to go by I had to guess at the arch and I was off some. So he sent them back for me to rework. Some heat and a little hammering with a 2 pound plastic hammer and they look better now.

They are not perfect but they should be close enough to work.
 
Jon you are a true master of metal ! I really admire that. I can weld enough to get by but I guess I try to rush things too much.
 
Perfection takes tallent. Looks like once you had a pattern, to go by, you perfected them.
Back when we had the dealership, dad made a couple of gigs from flat steel plate with pins and curved flats bent on edge welded to it to clamp broken needle parts on/against to braze cast iron Case needles back in proper arc. --------------------------------------Loren
 
I forgot what baler they are off of. But if it is a common baler and word gets out that you can repair them you would be wise to trace that new one on a piece of cardboard and hang it up on a nail in the shed. You will be ready when the calls start comming in.
 
I?m sure they?ll work beautifully. The baler is quite rare for the United States 🇺🇸 I believe. I?ve only ever seen one other one in all my travels and that was when I was working at a new Holland dealership. I?ve seen a couple d2000 at one farm but that?s all I?ve seen of them to

It?s got a lot of tongue weight I run a chain under the drawbar and around the 3 point arms without it that drawbar really flexes
 
I can do most repair welding but no way would I be able to do something like this . I?m a close enough is good enough when it comes to measuring . If you seen the original post about those needles Jon had to come up with several sections of aluminum to replace pieces that got lost
 
Now that you advertised can you come up with a fix for needles that wear from plastic twine? Mine get a groove and then does not tie correctly, I have brazed them up several time and that slows wear down some . An easy replicable eyelet of some sort would be great! A ceramic or glass would last longer as the insulators that the twine passes thru last a lot longer then the metal needle.
