One of the husking rollers on my picker had gotten so worn it wouldn't pull the husks off, which caused them to hang up and plug the husker. So I decided to rebuild the one causing the problems. The hardest part was getting the bolts out of the bearing holder. Had to reach behind that channel to get a wrench on the nut.
Worse yet, it was all deep in the wagon elevator.
Wouldn't have been a bad job if I had an extra elbo and wrist in my left arm. Lol. Eventually I got it, then everything else came apart easy. The old rubber was a series of discs that looked like they were cut from a tire. These are some old nes.
So to replace them I used a hole saw on some tires to make discs.
To cut the square hole I used a thin wall square tube and sharpened one end. A few whacks with a mall cut a nice square hole.
In this ic you can see the size difference. You can also see how the old ones had worn smaller than the end pieces which kept the rubber from grabbing the husks properly.
Took over 100 discs to redo the roller. Looks like it's going to work well now.
Hopefully will get my corn picked this weekend with it.
