Just helped a neighbor fix his chopper this winter. We changed the cutter drum, installed new knives and shear bar.(he had run a heat treated hitch pin through it) He did bring his hay head over and we completely went through it. He just came and got the chopper last week. He said he just had a sprocket to replace on the corn head and he could do that himself.
Well he did get the sprocket replace butTTTTT he did the hard way. He did not take the slack adjuster lose. He just pulled the chain out and used a pair of vice grips on the tightener to hold it. He then ground a pin out of the gathering chain. He replaced his sprocket. Then he put the pin back in the chain and spot welded it back to the side bar. He started the chopper up and ran the corn head. His weld had missed the pin. He ran the gathering chain through his "new" cutter head. Tore up ten knives and ripped three knife holders off of the good cutter head drum.
So he brought it back over yesterday evening. I tried to get him to buy a different chopper with Iron guard on it but he says he does not need it. Well it does make work for me.
