[AT] haybine roller repair

[Cecil Bearden]

Does this roller have rubber teeth, or it is rubber coated steel?  I 
have run several older crimpers that had a lot of the rubber gone, but 
they still worked fine.  My Owatonna swather that I used just 4 days ago 
cutting wheat, has steel teeth.  It is made by welding several sections 
of formed channel into a roller.  I cut wheat on Thursday, and on 
Saturday it was at 14% moisture. The former owner of my swather baled 
over 400 acres of alfalfa every year for the last 20 years with these 
swathers and crimpers.
