OK. Stupid question. We are completely done with this beast. It is ALL back together. Shields and everything. Not a nut or bolt out of place. Manually tested to make sure nothing hits anything else. Now the stupid question...
We CANNOT get the darn thing hooked to the combine. So, if you don't mind, could we just run down how this is supposed to work? the unit is mounted on the combine and latched underneath. There is a hex drive shaft on each side that has a sliding sleeve which I assume is supposed to go over the drive shafts that are on either side of the feeder housing. Sleeves slide easily on the hex shaft of the header but will not slide onto the combine drive shafts. Not on either side. Is there a trick to this?
