DT Fan Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 The door on the bottom of the feederhouse on the combine. Mine is in questionable(?) shape. Went to the yard today and found a pretty good one. Was not easy to remove! Boltheads were worn completely off, cut the screws with a putty knife and hammer. Here is a picture of the 'new' parts. I will add one or two of what is on the machine now when I get them removed. This is the reason I cuss previous owners so much! Goes along with my comment about people refusing to go to town to get parts in Lorenzo's thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Dinan Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Didn’t mess with trying to start the combine this morning, guy that brought a skid loader to load the headers, hadn’t slept in about 36 hours. He was in a hurry to find his bed. We pulled it on the detach and loaded both heads in about an hour. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool1566 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 That’s cool! I was never around a 715 but that appears to be a very nice one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Fan Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Got the 'seal' changed on the bottom of the feeder-house today. Couple more pics of what the previous owner rigged up and one installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been sitting in the shed since 1990 and hasn’t been started in that time. Taking some new batteries and fresh fuel and filters. Hopefully it will fire 🤞🏻And get it loaded onto the detach. My Grandpa had the same combine except it was a gas, but it was a hydro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHandJDman Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 My son and his buddy putting the 3010 back together. It was apart to get a new cable for the 3pt, but we needed to use it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Getting the 1460 ready to go. Ordered some parts from the local Imp. Installed the overflow tank I got from IHandJDman. Took the book and grease-gun around it, have a couple more to get later but the worst is done. New cabin air filter. Nice to be in a building, got most of an inch of rain today! This afternoon, put the starter for the new-to-me D-17 back together, think it's going to work! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHKeith Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I'm getting my Lincoln ready for another derby at 7pm tonight!!! I had a good run at my local fair with the Lincoln, ran a quick heat of 4 taking top 3 to feature, once the 4th was out another guy shut down to take 3rd and move on, so I shut down to take 2nd, came 4th in the feature, lost my steering shaft, but the best run with this car so far My son won in the truck!!! His first time too!! 2 trucks, 2 mini cars and 8 full size v8 cars showed up. Almonte Fair has never had the highest car counts of the area, counts are down everywhere lately too. Almonte had a good v8 count this year especially for the time, typically those 8 cars would run one feature all together, but they ran the heats to make the show last longer. A choice I agreed with in the situation, but had not prepared for the possibility of having to repair, hence taking second in the heat As less than ideal a 2 car derby is, both the minis and trucks put on a show. The minis ended with a rollover. The trucks ended with an epic dust explosion from the road dirt accumulation in a buckling frame followed by the buckling driveshaft spitting out 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Combine, these are wear parts the feeder-house chain run on. Surprisingly, they are still available and not even cost prohibitive. New ones are at Grinnell, probably pick up Saturday. Progress on the combine front is going well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I almost have the scale completed for the pull tomorrow at 10 😁 I have to make the scale head bracket, crimp eyelets on the power wires yet, and the ramp needs to be trimmed off straight on both ends . I'll finish it early tomorrow morning. This isn't the platform I went with but I don't have any pictures of the one I used . Ramp for only one end currently, have to back off the scale this pull. I'm hoping to make it easier to move by ramps attached to subframe and folding etc. Ramp is the floor from a van trailer with the 5" I beams the suspension slides on normally 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Crimping rolls spiny spiny but cutters not so much. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I'm guessing either the 3 eared star or the shaft that goes thru it are stripped. Star turns but shaft doesn't and vice versa. It won't lift off tho so I'm not sure what is going on there yet. Maybe I got lucky and shaft just dropped down and out of the splines after the center bolt broke. But my luck doesn't usually run that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third time we traded it on a new 1431 ..... you couldn't give me a 1431 after that machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third time we traded it on a new 1431 ..... you couldn't give me a 1431 after that machine 411. Bought it for not much a few years ago. It's been ran over a lot of acres. It does a nice job. I spent nearly as much in parts the 2nd year I had it as I gave for it. I think the disc mower Dr has what I need possibly. I used the bolts that went thru the flex joint as Jack bolts and got the 3 eared star up a 1 1/2 or so. It appears it goes down thru the bearing. The parts break down I found doesn't make it look that way. Not sure but what I might be better off taking the bottom end apart and pulling what ever will come and then try to get the top the rest of the way apart. Need to do some more research I guess.

The first year I ran it, machine made a terrible racket. Old boy I got it from said it was pretty noisy from new and the dealer couldn't make it any better. So I ignored it. Turned out a sealed bearing on the far tower was going bad. While I had it tore down I found a suspect bearing on one of the pods so replaced 2 or 3 bearings. 1 was aftermarket at rest was dealer. That's when I spent almost as much as I gave for it. That probably started the demise of the flex coupler on the other end looking back. But it ran for several more years before coupler shaft whatever gave clear up. But I'm only doing a few acres too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
