I have a neighbor who has a Gleaner A/C combine that had an engine fire last fall. I am considering doing the repair but am coming from a non farm background. I have many years in automotive service but am not sure where to start for parts etc. The serial # is A 35514. It appears to have an updraft carb on a 4cyl gas, however I have only had a brief "from the ground" look. Engine maker? I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This combine has been sitting in the field since the fire and I would like to get this baby rolling again. thank you in advance for any help.

Reguards, Mark Skidmore Calla, Ohio

I fixed the engine in a tractor that was in a barn fire. I broke many more bolts than usual. I figure the heat sucked any natural lubrication out of the iron.
The pistons were stuck, but not badly. Of course it needed new rings.
The engine bearings had melted and some of the bearing metal had flowed out the ends of the rods.
I would advise at least pulling the pan and checking the bearings.

Its probobly fairly simple wiring compared to a car.I would pull the intake and see what that looked like,then there are lots of salvage places listed on the internet.If you worked on cars a lot,it should not be hard to figure out the wiring.From my experience with engines that burned,unless it got so hot it melted aluminum pieces,it probobly will run.It might be allright even if it melted the aluminum.As a precaution you might want to pull the head off and see if there is anything that looks like it would cause a problem.You can probobly tell what the condition is if you can figure out what caused the fire..You know if it was a bare wire or something,the engine is likely good,might need some paint.

That serial number belongs to a 1966 Gleaner A-II combine. They left the factory with a 6 cylinder engine. It was not used in any tractor I am aware of. The fire likely did not hurt the engine, only accessories and covers. You'd best make a list of the items you need, then start looking for salvage combines.

Was $800 for a good, untested one 10 years ago when my F combine turned a bearing.

What model combine is it, C, F, others used 4 cyl gas engines.

Here in the midwest you can buy a whole combine for $500 - 1000, use one or the other for a parts machine....

The D17 engines are the same with one exception, the combine engine has a place for a mechanical fuel pump. The only way around if you use the tractor engine is to install an electric fuel pump.

This sounds like the engine that is interchangeable with the D 17 Allis.
I own a D 17 and have heard many times that these engines are the same. I even saw one of those combines this past Labor Day and it had exactly the engine as I have.

sound like a "E" gleaner combine, look around you should be able to find a junker around .There are a lot of them in the groves up here. Well I shouldnt say a lot of them.The engine is on a self contained frame ,remove and replace.You can still get a manual from Allis.
