The drivemotors for the razor discs make 30.000rpm at 12Volts....with a ratio of 3:1 in the pulleydrive I think about balancing the discs...
I´m not sure if it´s necessary, but I guess it will minimize vibrations...

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Very nice. Are you going to shave the little pins off the tires, or just get some better ones?

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

I´ll cut them off. Maybe I put some other tires on, but I haven´t been looking for some yet.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

AWESOME build!! Keep posting with your progress.

The next part I´ll have to make is the belt tensioner...

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Any new progress Frank?

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Wow. I really like those headlights! Mind if I ask where you found them? The cab looks really good now, with all those lights mounted. I like the new tires too.

Re: AGCO-Hesston windrower
 

Some progress......yes.

Got the parts from my buddy who made the paintjob. Now I´m assembling the parts. Cab and rims still have to be painted. Pictures will follow soon.
Here you can find the headlights (No. 9):
