Yesterday, I tried to combine Wheat, with a straight head set up, on the header, just before we had a rain. So I parked the combine. Later, I decided to put the pickup attachment, back on the combine, and swath my Wheat, with the swather, as the reel on the straight head, was 4 bats, and I have some Wheat, that is down, pretty good, a d my swather reel, has tines on the reel, to pick up downed crops.
I had the reel stripped off of the header, of the combine, and the brackets, for the pickup, back on the header, of the Combime, so I drove it over, to where the pickup conveor was, in the yard.
I installed the conveor, all but the drive belts, on the header, but when I went to move the combine, it wouldn't move. Thinking it was the clutch, out of adjustment, and being it was getting late, I decided, to wait, till today, to adjust, the Clutch.
So today, I crawled under the Combime, amd removed the Clutch, to Bellcrank Rod, and took apart, the adjusting clevis, one end, had to be heated, with the torch, and I put Never Seize, on the threads, and put the adjusting clevis, back together, a d installed it, back in the Combime.
I adjusted the clutch, within 2 inches, like the maual said, started the Combime, put it into gear, amd nothing, no forward, no reverse, no nothing. I got off of the combine, checked for belts, a d what I did notice, with the combine running, there seemed to be, a lot of end play, in the Variable Speed Spring Accembly, so I shut the combine off.
I grabbed a hold of the belt, a d there was a lot of play, in the shafts. Being I have 2, 660 Case Combines, I went to the other one, grabbed a hold of that drive belt, a d there was no play, in the varibale spring assembly.
I went back, to the other Combime, amd looked inside the spring, amd noticed a bearing, on the end, of the shafts, inside the spring, amd was thinking, that maybe, something inside the housing, before the transmission, of the Combime, had let go, as it seems, that the spring on this Combime, isn't as taunt, as my other Combime, alowing the shafts, of the of the variable speed spring assembley, to be pulled out, of the housing, amd allowing, the combine, not to move.
Your help, amd input, will be greatly, appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bruce.
