Hi,
I have a New Holland 492 Haybine that I bought used and I can't move the trailing arm into any other positions. There are three holes for positions where I can mount the arm for mowing and one hole to position it for transport. I can pull out the pin that goes in these holes, but when I try moving the arm (with the tractor) with the pin pulled out, the whole implement moves instead of the arm. I tried oiling up the area where the arm attaches, but this didn't help.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You have to block the passengers tire to keep it from rolling, then it will swing out.

Just like my spare JD MoCo. I use a chunk of 6x6 for a block.

Thank you. I'll try this tomorrow if things dry up a bit. We've been getting a lot of rain here today.

On my 489 I usually had to pop the clutch a little in reverse or forward to get it to swing. Good coating of wheel bearing grease helps too,

Not a trailing arm anyway, it's the pivot arm.

Thank you guys for the tips. I chocked the passenger wheel and got the pivot arm to move, so I was able to get it across the culvert. I cut hay for a while and then one of the hydraulic lines sprang a really big leak, so I'm working on fixing that instead.
