Installing stub guards on 488 Haybine

In this video I discuss how to install and properly adjust stub cuts for the sickle bar of your mower conditioner haybine. In this case, my machine is a New Holland 488. I bought my guards and hold downs from Shoup Manufacturing as they're much cheaper than New Holland parts. There are three specific New Holland parts you will need though--the special guards at each end (one short and long long guard), and then the single hold dow clip at the far right side of the sickle bar. I get New Holland parts from Messicks. They have good parts diagrams too that tell you exactly how much of each component is needed, as well as bolt lengths.
