In Reply to: Weak Bale spear? posted by rusty6 on February 26, 2023 at 22:44:19:
Just an FYI, not all bale spears have the same degree slope at the end. There are 2 different collars for bale spears. if you have the wrong spear for the wrong collar it will snap at the thread every time. The red one in the pic is probably a bit flexible compared to the black one. I had red ones(yes I know they can be any color, but the red ones around here come from a different company and I broke lots of them) When I started using the black ones (a little more money) They were snapping off like your. Had the seller tell me you have the wrong collars in them. welded up new collars in it and haven't broke one yet. Also do not over tighten in this cold country of ours. Metal shrinks when -30 and causes a lot more stress on that thread end. I tighten mine just snug and center punch ONE spot on the thread so it can't unscrew, if it loosens the nut only can move an eighth of a turn if that. easy to tighten a bit every now and then until it is rusty and won't move. And after 10 years of rust if not undone the rust can create a lot of pressure as well. Kind of a darn if you do and darn if you don't scenario.
