[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 550897, member: 1726"] rc, I just took my NH 273 to the scape yard after it almost broke in half and who know how many bales and how many years. It was just beyond repair. I think I still have pair of bill hooks for it in the barn. Don't know if they would fit a MF or not. Way back when the thing was out of time we kept breaking bill hooks on occassion. We finally started taking them to a welding shop that welds cast iron. He welded them up, we fixed the timing and never broke another one. I think the two I have in the barn have been weld repaired also. You may want to find someone in your area that can weld cast iron. They even have special rods for welding cast iron now. Go over the timing really close and I think you won't break anymore. Heck the knotters on my old 273 would not adjust to specifications so I had to use a pipe wrench and a big hammer to get them right. After that, that old worn out baler never missed a knot for years.
