I discovered my 1209 digs in on the PTO side when the ground is soft. Always cut with dry ground so never noticed it. Now that I see where your springs are compared to mine, I believe I found the issue. There is at least a foot of threads exposed where yours are at the top. I believe mine is single spring, or the inner is busted.
We have the same 1207, I’m trying to figure out how to adjust the rubber rollers. The driveline side is much lower causing hay to get bound up below the bottom roller near the tire. It’s becoming a pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Yes the hay will get bound up in either corner. The drive side is the worst. Imho the pan was designed wrong and allows this to happen, if the hay is wet or you have wet dirt from mole hills etc it seems to be more so. I have found if lift the cutter bar up from the ground so your cutting higher it help. Also l spray paint the pan area ever year, as the bare metal seems to grab the hay or dirt. Just try and keep it cleaned out and l found cutting later in the day when the dew is off helps, alot, or physically move over about 6inches so the drive side corner travels over cut ground, and not actually cutting with the first 2 or 3 sections. Your giving up some cutting width but it will help keep the hay getting bound up
Hello there. I have a 1209 I think maybe older then your there. The grease zert on vib damp. You have I can not find on mine. Would you know is that on the later model 1209 ?
Im certain it would be there, yes mine was a late model 1209, it had a lot of the 1219 mods, minus the 5 batten reel and the 2nd hyd cylinder to left the cutting deck.
Dont quite understand the question. Are you asking about the 2 shafts that go from the gearbox to the top and bottom rollers. If so they should just slip in and out on the splines, make sure you time it correctly by lining up the grease zurks otherwise your rollers will hit one another
Thanks Johnathan,kind of you to respond. the issue was getting back bearings on half shaft behind the gear box. We had a seal leaking. The 2 little shafts in the deep freezer a couple hours did the trick! I don't know if everyone's was that tight but took a puller to get off!
@@lauragillam4168, yes mine was very tight, l actually ended up taking to a machine shop, because how tight it was. I thought originally you were asking where they pull apart between the u joints. Glad you got it
@@lauragillam4168 Had 1219 l used for 28 years filed a gear boxs with a tube of grease before 1st and 2nd cut never had trouble with them the last 20 years I used it.
Wore out rubber on the rollers is probably number one thing, the rollers are the cost of the moco. 2 gearboxes rool over smooth. 3 would be knife and guards. The knife sections are cheap and easy to replace same with pickup teeth.

Thanks John. I was just out and looking mine dose not have a vibration damper it’s just a pulley top and bottom guess it’s just an older model.

What are some things to look for when buying a use one?

How can you check to see if the hear boxes arent shot?
@@powerram92 roll them over and check the back lash in the gears, you can also check the oil for metal shavings.
@@jonathantarrant2449 thanks for the advice. I'll try that nice time I go look at one. And the one I'm looking at is a model 1219
@@powerram92 a 1219, is the newer version with some upgrades,
