On an older 7' N.H. Haybine, it drops to low when it is lowered, making it necessary to have to raise it back up a little every time ( kind of a pain to keep playing with it to get the right cuttion height). I was wondering what kind of stop to keep the cylinder from retracting too far did it origionally have? I put some clamp on depth control rings on the cylinder rod but was wondering what was used when it was new. Thanks.

As others have said. In addition I recommend that you promptly get yourself as set of 3 manuals from NH/Ford: Operator, Repair, Parts.

Tom: AMEN to that, as I scan the posts here at YT, I cannot believe the number of people trying to operate equipment without at least an operators manual, and if their going to do the fixing it better be more than that. At 61 I have a lot of items memorized on pieces of equipment I owned or still own. I still wouldn't be without at least operators manual. A person cant remember everything.

John: As others have said hydraulics don't have anything to do with height of cut The header rides on those shoes underneath which are adjustable. Spring tension is also very important. Those big lift springs should be tight enough so you can with header on ground, grab the cross bar in front of reel and quite easily lift the header off the ground. The manual tells exactly how much lift should be required. I have forgotten the figure. I know after adjusting springs it was just a average lift, no superman needed. If the spring are too slack you will wear the shoes off in no time plus haybine will not work well either. Even with shoes set right if spring don't have enough tension, haybine from tractor seat will just feel like header is digging in ground. I know this as I broke a couple of those springs. In the off season store your haybine with header up or remove tension from springs. The other item to consider is the springs may have lost their elasticity.

They can be operated with a one-way cylkinder, so either the skid plates set the height, or if it has springs to control the header height, along with plates, they need to be adjusted. If you are switching tractors, and they have different hitch heights, that is a factor.

There should be skid plates underneath to set the cutting height. Cylinder stroke has nothing to do with cutterbar height, at least it didn't on the 477 we had.
