How to make a "frowning "Macdon "smile"?

[countryguy]

We have a 30'Macdon header that is drooping at the ends.Has anyone successfully straightened a header?What is the best way to do it?Also who makes the best end guage wheels?Thanks for any help.

Put a hydraulic jack in the middle and run chain to the ends. Put tension on the chain and pound on the ends with a sledge hammer & keep pressure firm with the jack as it should slighten with bending. I have seen this done with buckets & should work on a header. Good luck!

As long as I can find something strong enough to hook the chains to I think this could work.Thanks for the tip.

At the Farm Progress show there are all kinds of manufacturers for gauge wheels.
