$100.00 - IH 430 Baler

[cjet69]

After a week of soaking the parts baler side gear and gib key with ATF/Acetone mixture I was able to remove the key with a cold chisel. The gear came loose by sticking a pry bar through the spokes and rocking the crank back and forth. It didn't take much and then I just spun it by hand and pulled it off. The shaft looks really good on this one. Now I just need to pull both gearbox assembly's.

Pulled the flywheel, driveshaft, and hitch off of the 430 baler. Need to remove a locking collar & bearing and 4 bolts and the gearbox should come out. Then repeat for the parts baler and it will be time to clean things up and start putting some pieces back on.

Removed the plunger this evening. All of the rollers are frozen up and one fell apart. Once the gear box is removed I plan on sandblasting the whole bale chamber.

Pulled the gearbox's from both balers. Dad pressure washed the bale chamber so we can see what repairs need to be done. It will need some rust repair in a few places, but not as much as our other 440 baler.
