I recently acquired a NH 477 mower conditioner. The rolls are in good shape, but it had been setting in a field for 10+ years which meant the cutter bar was frozen up and the teeth mostly rusted away. This winter my project is to remove the cutter bar and replace the teeth and hold downs. I might also have to replace the bar depending on condition once I get it out and look at it. Eventually I'll change the finger guards over to stub guards to ease clogging issues but right now they seem to be in reasonable shape. I would like to replace with bolt in section teeth, but I've never seen what they look like and have never done it. I'm familiar with rivets on sickle bar mowers, but man do they suck. So where do you guys get your parts? Online or dealer? Who has the best pricing?
