Mr. Schwiebert,

David Alvord from Covington, GA here. My wife said you called and I am sorry I missed you.  If you recall, I have several Oliver 520 and 620 balers and we use them.  I am looing for some parts and having a tough time with the parts.  I know Rick and Jerry Stair and Tom and Cal at O'Brien, Larry in TX, Larry Harsin too.  However, I am drawing blanks on some of the parts.  I know you said you had a friend who has some of the parts I needed and I would love to get the parts from him.  May I please get his information or he can have mine if that works better.  Kindly advise.  My new project I bought a 520 from a fellow from TN and the rear PTO yoke (516 281 ES ) is broken.  I have seen several like this and need to find 2 of these parts or I am looking to make or adapt a new one.  Question for you - in your experience, do you recall if these PTO parts were ever used or sold to other companies that may have one on the shelf?  Oliver probably cast them but you will know a heck of a lot more than me on this.  I am hoping I can get a direction to turn so I can solve the problem and maybe help some of the other fellows at the same time.  I like the balers a lot and take good care of them.  But my last one was not cared for well by the previous owner.  So, I am going to right the wrongs.  I need other parts as well but you said your friend had some of them.  Thanks again and I was sorry I missed you.  Best to you.

I want to hunt down an Oliver 400 or 500 series manure spreader next but it is going to be a difficult to find in the southeast.  I want to replace our NH 475 with it.  I have no leads yet.
