Prepping for the fall hay season! Old equipment ....will it hold up?

What happens here

The farmer stops by his New Holland 492 Haybine, which has a flat tire and previously had a transmission issue. He explains how the haybine works, cutting grass with a sickle bar-like action, then crimping it to speed up drying. He also briefly shows a V-rake in the background, another piece of haying equipment.

Goal: Assess the condition of the haybine and hay rake, noting necessary repairs or maintenance.
