Field Prep - Ford Sickle Bar Mower - Grease Fittings + Belt

Getting the Ford 515 Sickle Bar ready for the first cutting of hay with the Deutz Fahr D4506. This video is a quick run down of all the various grease fittings you need to take care of along with a few other tips.
For the lower idler pulley mentioned in the video - I replaced that last season since the original one self destructed on me. I wasn’t having any luck finding the Ford pulley (PN 243127 ) Idler Assy. Flat 8.00 Dia.
I eventually ended up buying a STENS Idler Pulley 280-737 on eBay, with some washers and shims on the front and back of the pulley it ended up being a totally fine replacement.
