7700 combine grain on front axle?

dmiller · Aug 20, 2015

Thanks for the earlier help, sample much cleaner on this field. As I moved fields and put the header back on I noticed that there was a pile of grain on the front axle (driver's side), maybe a quart or so.
Can't seem to find any obvious place it came from.
Where should I look???

follow return elevator up to auger that feeds onto top of cylinder, something in there might have a hole in in it somewhere

I would guess from the bottom of the feeder house. The tailings elevator drops the grain into the top of the cylinder on the drivers side. So if you where running a lot of grain up the return it is dropped on the top front of the cylinder. The centrifugal force will throw the grain kind of at the back of the feeder house. So if your clean out door is not tight or the hinge plate broken/cracked you will get grain on the top of the axle.

I will check it tonight afterwork when I go back to the field. The pile is on the outside of the combine, next to the tire. Can't see how a leak under the feederhouse would let it get there, but I can't see any leaks on the outside or above the axle either.
Also found some on the left rear (along the ledges where the sheet metal go together)about where the pulley is to drive the spreader. Can't figure out where it's coming from either.
