Got back at the baler needles today. Had the hardest two left because they were bent the worst and missing pieces. Had to form a piece of 3/4"x1" bar. A little heat and my rr track and plastic hammer took care of that.
After it was shaped I welded them in just like before.
After that I had to figure out how to cut the channel down the back for the twine.
Thought I would try to dig it out with my air hammer and the tin cutting hammer. Thought that anvil hanging down might be pretty close to what was needed.
Worked pretty good too. Cut the trench with the air hammer, then just some cleanup with the die grinder.
Also had to do some repair to the tips where the twine feeds through, was worn way past the wear pins. So I welded those up and drilled for new pins. I used 3/8 hard bolts, only the smooth shank, and lock tighted them in.
After that I did some final shaping and grinding to make them smooth and nice. They are not perfect, bit I think they will work
Even got them all boxes and ready for shipping back to Idaho.
Was a fun job and a real challenge, I'm kinda excited to see if they work.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
