Update. I am trying to help someone with their haybine. I tried lifting the header, it lifts very easily so I think that the springs are working/set ok. I crawled underneith as best as I could, I didn't see any adjustable shoes. Are they like the ones on a siclebar mower, maybe they fell off?? I see on the part that you lock for keeping the haybine up for road travel has different adjusting holes, could moving this to another hole keep the cutter bar up enough? I noticed that the part that prevents the haybine from dropping for road travel (with the piece out for cutting) is abot 3/4" when we get the cutter bar to the height for cutting as opposed to being just long enough (when up) to get the U-shaped stop that is installed for road travel. Thanks.

Thanks guys!!!! The part for transport that has the U shaped thing has a pin with a clip on the front side that has a choise of 3 holes. I don't see any shoes, they must be long gone, LOL. The closest to a shoe is a plate that goes across the whole bottom of the cutterbar, it is all the way up, I see now that it can come down one more hole about 1".

You will need shoes not a bad idea to half sole even a new shoe. The long plate is not a shoe and should not be used for one. The shoes are what is used for mowing height. I am like Gary I can not place the holes in the transport lock. Like I said earlier there was a piece at the bottem of the transport lock slot that could be changed so the T bar could slide a little farther and that changes the angle of the guards to the ground.

The skid shoes are on each side as said in the other posts, you really can't miss them unless they are missing. I will admit you are throwing me on the moving the transport lock to another hole. I have a 469 and I don't recall any adjustment like that, mine just has the U shaped stop that fits in the transport lock. Where on this one are you seeing the 3 adjusting holes for what you say is the transport adjustment?
I've had alot of hours running a 469 and also working on a 469 and some of what your saying is not making any connection.

It has been a long but see if I can remember some the adj. shoes sould hang in two hooks bolted to the under side on the guard bolts those bolts will be about 1/2 inch longer this is on the front side of the shoes the back side will have a up right aprox. 4in. front to back 1/2 thick with 4 adj. holes in it these will be on the inter and outer ends of the header if the shoes need half soled truck springs work very good and wear a long time. The floatation if I remember right should be about 17 to 18 ft. lbs. ck an operators manual in the adj. sec. The transport lock has two positions when down and I think all this does is change the angle of the cutter bar. The header should bounce a little on any obstruction, the bigger the more it should bounce.

John: Ernie's description sounds about right to me. My haybine was a 460, and shoes were about the same. It was followed by the 461 and then 469, and although configuration changed quite a bit the shoes were very similar. I do remmber being at a welding shop one day, and guy came in with his haybine, had worn the shoes right off and all he had left was vertical adjusting plate. He couldn't understand why, machine wasn't that old. I asked him to lower header to ground, it took 4 of us to pick it up. I really don't know how he mowed with it. He did say it was delivered to him new that way. My point is, if that machine wore the shoes off in 4 years, even one with springs adjusted properly could have the shoes worn off by now. My haybine did a lot of mowing in the 17 years I had it. I remember rebuilding shoes couple of times.

The shoes (2) are are about 8" wide, you can't miss em. They are on either side and adjust by the bolt in many holes method. Tongue in slot pivot in the front, if I remember right.

Dads old New Holland had something like that we used it to keep from shaving rough ground. It sounds to me like you are on the right track.
