About a week ago I finished up the last of my soybeans for the year and went up the road to do my neighbor beans for him. The old JD 95 Corn Special did a great job this year and I cant complain about it. Before starting this year I found I had a bad unloading auger belt so it got replaced then I managed to tare off the crop divider off on the left side of the head. No problem I have another set of big dividers so I put them on after doing this while greasing and oiling her up I found a bad bearing on the back straw walker crank behind the gas tank had gone out, I had the bearing but is it a big pain to change but I got it changed. And the finial quick fix was the steel power steering line got a pin hole so it got fixed with a piece of fuel line and 3 hose clamps, Easy to fix. When I started to cut the neighbor beans the flouting cutter bar started to shake bad to the point I had to stop to see what was wrong with it. It just looked like the cycle was out of time with the guards for some reason. Well I found I had broken the stablelizer bar that goes from the cutter bar to the head and it broke the pin off at the head. Take it off and weld it at the neighbors house put it back on and back to cutting good again and I finished his up that night. This was just a normal cutting season just like everybody else has.
All and all it was a good year for beans even if we had 2 months of wet weather after they were planted. All my beans made from 38 to 55 bu and acre and averaged out at 46 bu an acre so not a bad year. Well it's all over now and it's time to get everything put up for the winter that's coming. I wish I knew how to post a link to YouTube so you guy's could see some of the videos I took this fall of the old JD 95 doing her thing in the field. If you want go to YouTube and look for my channel Bandit farmer and you can see them. I know Fixerupper and DeltaRed and lots more would love to see them. I still have a lot to learn on this computer stuff so if you know how post a link so everyone can see them cause I sure don't know now. Bandit
