469 is good machine, I had one, it's getting on in years now.I think I remember you saying you had a Haybine which is older that the 469. 469 does real well on uneven ground, head floats well. Easy to pull, I used a oliver 550 on mine and it played with it, usually. 469 can be clogged up with tall stemmy hay. Check conditions of rollers, skids under header, teeth on reel, and general rust. NH used thin metal and they rust out easily. Drive belt from gear box to wobble box that drives blade is a pain to replace. If you look under back you will see support arms supporting header made from u shaped metal which collect trash and may rust out. Bushing in end of blade wears out regularly and the blade is a pain to get out if the cutterbar is bent and if the guards are not lined up. Check idler pulleys to see if they have bearings stuck up. Look under frame where tongue goes in, sometimes the welds break loose there. I wouldn't give over 1k for it, wouldn't touch it if the rubber on the rollers are bad. In excellent condition they are a sweet cutting machine and I don't think NH improved on them much until 2 or 3 more model changes.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
