Your a life saver I just brought one of these from a friend and have to replace one of the tine bars tried every to line it up until I watched your video so I’m gonna give it a go tomorrow the tine bars have a flat head on the end of the thread so getting the bolts of is gong to be tricky but I give it a go
Thanks for watching and the comments from down under! Hope the video helps, tine bars can be a pain sometimes. Let us know how you made out repairing your rake.
@@hartshomesteadaustralia3837 Shouldn't be any oil. Sounds like bottom seal on the gearbox is leaking oil, possibly from a bad bearing in the gearbox or just a bad seal. Check out my video on the gearbox repair for New Holland 256 rake. I show seal and bearing numbers you need to rebuild it. Good luck with your repair!
My granddad was having an issue getting the time bar back into place and I found the video and loosening the bolts as you suggested on all the tine bars worked perfectly! Thanks for the video.
I have been working on my New Holland 258 Rake replacing tine bar bearings and just started to reinstall the bar and was having difficulty getting it lined up so instead of fighting it I watched this video and was able to reinstall the bar in a matter of minutes your video is a home run thanks for the knowledge I will pass this on.
I couldn't get everything loosened up like you did (without a torch), but enough of them to give it a little play. The best trick was using the long punch in the hex hole to pry it into place. Thanks for the videos.
So are the bearings not sealed? I'm changing the bearings on my 256 tine bars and had the same idea about the grease fittings...just curious if the grease will come through the bearings if they are sealed bearings. Thanks.
Kyle, thanks for the question. The factory bearings are sealed on both sides. If you are going to add a grease fitting to the tine bar bearing housings, just pop out the bearing seal that would go into the bearing housing first. A small flat screw driver inserted between the seal and the bearings inner race works well for this. Leave the seal in the bearings that are going to be on the snap ring side. Thanks for watching and good luck with repairs.
Thanks for the video. Always good to know what you're getting into, esp the use of the punch. I did not see replacing the bearing, I suppose it is straightforward.
If it's just the bearing and not the whole assembly you want, Amazon is a good place to start. If it's the whole bearing/stud assembly, I will have to go back and look. Just let me know. Thanks for watching!!!

Landon, thanks for watching and the comments. I did do a video on tine bar bearings: New Holland 256 Tine Bar Bearing Puller.
Where do you get your bearings?
If it's just the bearing and not the whole assembly you want, Amazon is a good place to start. If it's the whole bearing/stud assembly, I will have to go back and look. Just let me know. Thanks for watching!!!
