Recently had a problem with an IH 47 baler where the tines on the intake seemed to mostly get trapped behind the shields. Noticed that the baler was feeding very slowly. A very short time later, the idler sprocket on the chain drive to the intake broke free from its mounting bracket (I assume the drive chain was overloaded).
Now I have never torn apart the intake on a baler. Is it possible to remove the entire intake as a unit ? I figured I could make a support stand for it out of dimensional lumber and put it at a comfortable working height so that everything could be examined in detail and work on the problems until the intake rotates freely again, at which point it could be re-installed on the baler. It seems to be in an awful position to work on while mounted to the baler since it is so low to the ground and hard to access.
Has anyone pulled the entire intake like I am suggesting ? The intake pivots for raising and lowering so it seems like there would not be that much holding it in position other than the pivot mechanism ? The only parts diagrams I have found are the ones at Messicks, and while helpful, they are too small to figure out how the intake works or how it can be disassembled.
Any tips ?
