Got the header working again this afternoon. Got hopper 2/3 full when raddle clutch slipped. Chain on the beater had come off. Put it back on and cleaned machine out. Went again. Then, tailings auger clutch kept slipping. Emptied it out 3 times and couldn't find anything. Got dark, so took it to the shed. Opened tailings cleanout door again and found this piece of metal wedged between the flighting and the housing, and sticking all the way over between the elevator chain and sprocket tooth. Cut it, pulled out piece between elevator chain and sprocket, then pulled the rest over, cut a piece, until it all came out. Thresher ran smooth after that. Anyone know which piece of the machine this came off of? It's not a raddle bar. Hoping all goes well tomorrow...
