hi
picked up a old 66 all harvester combine....seems to be intacted.....did try harvesting a little stand of buckwheat.....some from a winrow....some standing......got lots of straw with the buckwheat.....so i openned up the blower levers.....and saw no straw.....thought great....fixed that problem.....got up in hopper where i had a catch bag.....no buckwheat eighter.....lol....
i noticed the bars on the reels are bent....not so much in towards the reel but more like droops in center....more worried bout the tin that houses it.....that is bent outwards....there is like a 1/4 inch gap at sides ....but almost 2 inch in center........its not rusted just bent......
just ordered a manual for it....hoping to get this thing running for next yr......anyadvice would be greatfull
