Got the 55 combine running today

I got the 55 running today but it has a miss. I hope it's just the bad plug wires. I thought the previous owner had robbed them but I found them all laying down by the battery. They have chew marks so I think the raccoons pulled them off.

We got the separator to run but the conveyor under the rotor just slips the slip clutch. Do these normally get stuck after setting for a while? Any ideas on getting it go. This combine has a lot raccoon dung in it so im sure thats not helping.
 
Lift the head all the way up and block it. Then you can open the door under the feeder house to see whats in there.
 
We got the chain to go. we just backed it up a few times by hand and then it started to run. We did find a problem though, there is a hole about the size of a softball in the floor under this chain. its not rusted out but looks like a rock or something punched through. I assume well have to fix this. It looks like its been that way for a while though. Its right about where the inspection door is so hopefully we can just reach in there and weld a patch in the hole.
