When I checked over the baler after rolling up 71 bales a couple weeks ago I found several of the rollers were hot. Bad bearings.

Always good to see you post. In the words of SMA, if I can do it, you can do it. Does not apply here. You are a force when it comes to getting it done. I couldn't even come close. Great job Pete.

Man yeah, I know you probably care not too, but I could watch you work in things all day!! Genius the way you figure things out working alone!! I love that impact, need to upgrade to something similar myself!! Boy I would have thrown in the towel on that one, well done Mr Pete 👌🏻😁 Looking fwd to seeing it back out in the field!! I bet those bolts got some anti-seize!! 😉😉👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

Thanks Nelson! I credit my German mechanical mind 🙂 The DeWalt is a beast. I like it so far. I figure those bearings lasted 25 years. If these go 25 years it won't be me changing them.

Nice work. Looking back at some other repair videos on this baler, it looks like you’ve done a fairly extensive renew on the Vermeer. I’m thinking about a stem to stern rebuild on my JD round baler so these videos give me a feel for how far one might go with a refurb before moving on to another baler. I should think the bearings, roller, sprockets and chains pretty much have this baler in near like new condition with many more years of dependable service out of it for a fraction of the price of a new or late model used baler.

Thank you. I’m glad you find some of this helpful. Over the years this baler has been pretty reliable but moving parts wear out eventually. I think it’s up in pretty good shape now.

Welcome to the 21st century. With your battery, powered impact wrench. Good choice on staying with the battery that you already have, and Dewalt makes a great tool. 🙂🙏🙂

Thank you! I like it a lot so far. When I pick it up it feels like something substantial.

Thanks for the update Pete, it’s amazing what an army of one can accomplish.👍 Hey Pete just wondering if you all have had a problem with flooding like parts of South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota? Take care and stay safe.

@farmerpete 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! No serious flooding issues near me. The Mississippi is experiencing some moderate flooding, I’m about 12 miles from the big river.

The twisted allen was a confirmation of a strong DeWalt choice!

Its called neglect on the part of the user. Heating the bolt two or three times (cherry red) ..... it would not twist off !

@ericmayer2264 2 ай бұрын

You should of just heated them a little with a tourch it's the out side of bolt heads that hold

@farmerpete 2 ай бұрын

I did heat them some, access is pretty crappy. Turned out they had some serious thread locker on them that didn’t let go until I could put heat directly on the shafts.

@user-tc3ou6sy5f Ай бұрын

This is what I suggested too.......not a little heat........ a lot of heat ! Cherry red ! If you have access with a wrench you have access with a torch ! Heating a bolt..... turn it cherry red.......hold the heat steady..... keeping it cherry red for a few minutes.. the heat will travel down the bolt breaking the rust / lock tight and it will come out. Takes time !

@user-tc3ou6sy5f Ай бұрын

You couldnt heat the bolts cherry red....allow to cool........heat cherry read.......allow to cool...... and then try taking the bolts out ? Most times there is no need for an impact wrench if they are heated a few times. So...... again...why not remove the belts first.....much easier to work on a baler !

The belts weren't impeding me in any way.
