I just picked up a 477 Haybine the other day in really great shape, paint is pretty good, rollers look PERFECT, the guy had just finished his first cutting with it. Looking at the knife alignment within the guards, I can't see how this thing was even cutting. There wasn't a manual for it but I downloaded a manual for a 479 and figured they'd be pretty close. The knives probably all need replaced anyways, but they are not resting on the cutter guard ledger. Specs state no more than 0.020" between bottom of knife and top of ledger but there's all kinds of space. Only a few of the knives are actually touching the guard as they should.
This seems pretty critical in order to cut right.
How can I adjust the knives or guards so they are all set up properly?
I read I can adjust the knife head bolt a little lower in the bushing to lower the knives. The manual also says to deliver a hard blow to the guard to adjust them but it does nothing when I smack on them.
Any tips would be appreciated.
