Today I finished working on our gehl 920 wagon- We bought it last fall at my second cousin's estate auction for $400. It had an almost brand new apron chain in it so it was worth it for that little cost.
We used it for maybe 3 loads, when the apron cross bars caught the steel over the apron drive shaft and wrecked a chunk of the chain and the steel was trashed. We replaced the steel over the shaft, lined the floor in poly, and fixed the apron chain.
Then we also replaced the steel in the cross conveyor because that was rotten, and the end plates that hold the bearings and the adjustment for the cross conveyor were shot. We replaced a bearing on the middle beater because a peice of that fell out when we removed the beaters to work on the wagon. We also had to replace the shaft the PTO hooks up to and the bearings on that shaft, and also the sprockets on that shaft. Total investment in parts is around $700.
$438 for the parts from GEHL, $158 for the poly to line the floor, $35 for the shaft and 2 sprockets, $29 for the bearings on the shaft, $30 for the metal strapping we used to hold the poly down, I forget the other expenses, but there was random hardware etc...
All I gotta do now is get a new sprocket to drive that middle beater as I had to torch it off. I think I've got close to 40 hours in it, but hopefully it'll work for years to come now without troubles.
Tomorrow I get the 1855 ready for the chopper and pull that out.
I'll try to get pictures of it next time I'm home.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
