Wrong section but more viewers. JD 40 rotary screen??

JD Seller · Nov 23, 2014

I forgot about seeing a JD 40 combine at the Ottumwa harvest day. It had a rotary radiator screen. I have scene the one off of a Gleaner retrofitted to an old JD combine but this one looks different. Maybe an after market kit??? I do not think JD offered one as an option.

Any odeas

Wow. It's been years since I've seen a 40 square back. Thanks

It's a new one on me, as well...
Take a look at paper page 35 PDF page 39

Grandpa took the old radiator shroud off of the Massey Super 92 and put a Gleaner spinning number on there. It always seemed such a step up from that long Massey shroud with an arm beating around in there. I don't recall it ever plugging in all of the years we used it. Those original shrouds plugged something awful if you had the radiator side downwind.

Bob that is the screen. I wonder if it was an option for the combine or was used in some other application. Then someone put it on the JD 40???

The regular combines did not get a rotary screen until 1973.

I think all 40's came from the factory that way. Sure wish my 55 that we cut beans with had one as every 5-6 bins full you need to get the dust off the screen.Tom

JD, if you look on page II of the PC, it states the HA-115-G is used on the "40" combine.

On page 35, where the screen is listed, is states the "rotary fan screen" is used on the HA-115-G.

Also, the print date of the catalog is May, '68, showing the rotary screen was used on the "40", at least that early on.

From my copy of the 1966 Deere whole goods price book.

Standard equipment was a Stationary Folding Radiator Screen.

The High Stationary Radiator Screen (option code 1031) added 32 pounds but is listed as being in the base price.

Rotary Radiator Screen (option code 1030) has no weight listed and is listed as being the "same price".

If you wanted to convert from the Rotary screen to the high stationary one (who knows why) the parts weighed 30 pounds and Listed for $39.75

And before anyone asks list prices were $4777.75 for the grain combine and $4889.00 for the Edible Bean. These are for the base machine.

Heads ran from $515 to $708 plus reel which ran from $209 to $275.

All FOB East Moline, IL.

Corn head would set you back $1550.50 plus $71.00 if you wanted the Multi Luber.

Corn head was FOB Ankeny, IA

So thats what that spining thing is! Have seen them before and couldnt imagine what its purpose was.

Tom there easy enough to put one on. I put one off a IH 815 on my old 95 and it wasn't that hard to do. Hardest part is the bolts on the shroud by the grain tank, But it was worth it as it has never run this cool and trouble free. Bandit

Used to have a JD 40 with the factory rotary screen on it. Was a good machine.
