Wonder if......

Good for you RA! :D There are very few better feelings than tackling a tough project and getting it figured out.

Thanks, leanin' H! I can't believe what all I've learned so far. Even common mechanical stuff I didn't know having not worked on anything....like, a compression stroke and master keys on chains, snap rings and to have the snap ring run with the chain....closed side running the direction of travel....all that stuff. It never ran through my head that there would be something on the knotter shaft making some things always turn with it and some stuff never turning....I had no idea there could be a grove and keys under it. I was a beating on that stuff on there trying to get it off.....lol. I chipped things off the right intermittent gear, thinkin' the regular hammer would do better than the rubber hammer at getting it off before I knew of the keys:D Luckily I was able to move it to the left side without having to find another one and all works well. I could go on and on :D I was going to take today off, but I am behind on shoeing and trimming and yard work....and better get some grass layed down. Always something to do! :D
 
After fishing a drive chain out of a planetary drive on NH1499 a link at a time thru a tiny observation plate hole, then changing the drive shaft in the header that runs the knife from both ends and years of pulling bale plungers my youngest son has come to hate mechanical engineers. I never had the heart to tell him that what my degree from college is.
