This spring I bought a parts 892 for $200. When talking with the farmer, he said they were having troubles with the metalert giving false alarms and it wouldn't keep working.
I have our 892 we picked up last fall ready to roll for corn, but figured I'd try to disable the metalert completely, like it was done to our other one before we bought it, just to see how the base works and if it'd be worth fixing up and running along side out other one. One thing his son tried, who is a mechanic at their local NH dealer, was to cut off the connectors for the metalert, and then just splice the wires together....
While going over it, I notice the wire that comes around and goes to the lower feed roll has been cut. Don't know how, or when it would have been cut, but my gut tells me that may be part of the problem....
There's also a few other minor issues with it, but for the little bit of sudan grass we need to chop, if it works, great, and if not, it's gonna remain a parts machine. One thing that gets me is that they never replaced very worn out #60 heavy chain that drives everything (maybe $50 worth of chain, at the absolute most), so a $300 and a $430 sprocket is JUNK. I'll just bring them to the local sprocket shop where I used to work and have them cut the old ones off and replace them so it should be considerably cheaper, but WOW. Most of the other chains are bad also, but none were as bad as this one...
Trouble is, the same sprockets on the other 892 are also worn, just not as bad as this one. If I do it to one, I'll need to do it to the other as well.
