Engine speed on 715 ih gas

ljs01 · Dec 3, 2015

The manual says to set the engine RPM so the beater runs at 552 RPM but I have a belt drive beater with a variable speed. Under specifications in the back of the manual it lists the governed speed (fast idle) (no load) as 2600+- 30 RPM and the horsepower rating at 107 HP at 2400 RPM. What should the engine speed be? Should the separator be engaged when I check it?

Thanks.

Set it at 2600 with wide open throttle and no load. That should get you close to the 2400 when you engage the separator.

Are you confusing the cylinder for the "beater" ?

The beater is just ahead of the straw walkers and the cylinder is further forward.

I'm not saying you don't have a variable speed beater, but I've never seen one.

You are probably right. The term used in the book is "cylinder beater" and I assumed that was the cylinder. Thanks for helping to clear that up for me.

You've never seen a JD 00 or 20 series because those have one. The beater on those is driven off the cylinder so when you change cylinder speed and the beater changes too.
