[AT] JD 214 WS timing problems

[charliehill]

It probably  won't work Lew.  They'll both break at the same time.

I think hay balers are kind of like the combines that Long Manf. tried to 
make for a while.  A friend of mine's father bought one.  They couldn't keep 
it running.  Long sent a mechanic to stay with it while they picked corn. 
He couldn't keep it running so they sent another brand new combine identical 
to the first one.  The mechanic would work on one while the other one ran 
and between the two combines and a full time mechanic the man finally got 
his corn picked.

I hope your  luck is better.

Charlie
