You would need to watch the rear axle for cracks. Or just biuld it up before it breaks put two plates on each side were the axle turns in the frame and in the center pivot if it is a light pipe cut out and put in a heavyer pipe keep greased. Keep header clutch pivot greased hard to get to but it needs to stay greased. The shoe has rubber bushings they need replaced before they look bad so shoe stays straight. It should take 1 to 1.25 gal acre. Watch the auger in the bin were it pivots tends to where there first. Make sure you have moter tacked to specs and not faster than what it is supposed to be.If it is faster you will start to get header problems. They are a good old machine and are easy to fix when the need arises.
