Alright You Guys, I Need Help

I really need to replace a broken suspension spring in my 495 swather. Darned thing is about 8" in diameter and 'bout a yard long.

Big spring inside of a bigger spring and it's located clear down under the guts of the machine.

Could one of you fellas run over here and "throw" this thing in fer me real quick? This is starting to look more and more like..... .groan, work! :>(

Can't believe it; really had a good day today.

Bought two of these double springs for a total of $211. I figured, heck at $100, I might as well have a spare.

I inspected them before they were removed from the other machine to make darned sure the inner springs were okay and was really surprised at just how easy they do come off.

Heavy suckers, tho. Bet they weigh in at over 100 lbs. apiece.

Get out into the real world - out of the cab -

No really - I usually don't have a big problem with most springs - just a lot of turning on the tightener screw - I don't think i would do it in transport position though -

Do I remember right that a week or so ago you were wondering what to do with the spare time on you hands? Just keep telling yourself, Its only work if you'd rather be doing something else.

Come to think of it, I'm already doin' that! Probably be leavin' cuss marks on the thing before this is done. :>)

Wife says to go trade it off fer one of those new fangled "self compelled" outfits with the silly air conditioning and all. What kinda fun is that anyways? :>(

Also I haven't put a bean in the ground yet.

Just keep reminding yourself that you are having fun, somedays I have to remind myself more often than others;-)

Boy, when I pull this thing in the field across the fence from my neighbor with his $100K John Deere swather, I'll betcha he's really gonna be jealous!

He doesn't seem to do a lot of fixin' on his tho. :>)

Allan

Maybe, it's me. :>)
