479 newholland haybine tongue

[amberg]

my tongue broke half into sat. on my haybine, it has already been welded up two times before, so it is not going to be
easy to fix. so I called the dealer this morning to check on getting a new one, and they told me that IF they could even
find one that it would cost $980.00 does anyone know where I might get a used one at? maybe a salvage yard some one
selling parts off and old one. thanks for any help guys!

could you put some pictures up? Just because it's been "fixed" twice previously doesn't mean it can't be fixed right the 3rd go around.

I can't imagine it couldn't be fixed by a half decent welder/fabricator.

thanks I did find a place in pa. fry's machinery I called them and they called back last night at
8:00 and told me they had one for $250.00 plus $50.00 shipping so I told them I would
take it.

I don't know how to do pictures yet, if I could get my daughter to show me I would post pictures. if so I
will try to post a test picture.
It was just to big of a mess for me to try to cut and weld back, so I called my welder and told him what it
looked like, and he said that it would have to be cut off about a foot past the transport pin and a new tube
added on, and cut the pin off old one and welded on new tube, and put a new bushing in the end for the pull
bolt to go through. he did say that he would do the job but it would not be to cheap. I told him that I would
let him know what I can find. thanks amberg

If you haven't found any yet, here is a list of 18 in salvage yards. http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/dismantledsearch.aspx?ETID=3&Manu=NEW+HOLLAND&Mdltxt=479&mdlx=exact None close to VA. I'm afraid, but surely a lot less than a new one, including shipping.

DJ54 thanks for the link. they had a couple 479s on there that I would like to have, I like the older older models better than the ones with the pto shaft inside the tongue. I think I found one in pa. if they can get ups to ship it to me. I should know by Thursday. I will let you guys know when I see it. thanks again!

guy's the my ups guy delivered my tongue last Thursday at 7:15 he said that he had tripped over that d_ _n thing all day, so I gave him a bag of cookies to make him happy. any way the tongue was in excellent shape, but I welded a plate on the side for good measure. got it in and everything seems to work good.
again thanks!! amberg

Amberg,
What part of VA are you in? There is an old 479 (I think) that at the farm where I cut hay. I see that you already recevied your tongue, however, you may be able use it as a parts machine. It's complete as far as I can tell.
