The lower extension (the curved sheet metal piece at the bottom of the elevator) and wooden blocks for the wagon elevator are rotted out. I discovered this when the elevator chain broke. Is this going to cause me a lot of trouble if I use it this way ?

How tight should the elevator chain be ? I have a service manual, but not an operators manual. The service manual only says that it is an aquired feel and the chain should not be fiddle string tight.

How do you park this thing ? It acts like it wants to tip over backwards when I unhook it.

Any good ideas for working the kinks out of the gathering chains without having to remove them ?

Thanks

The man who sold IH grease fittings in the fifties must have retired rich.

I got a 50s IH 1 row picker. I dont know what wood piece you describe. Theres a wood piece guide that fits under the roller chain in front that acts as a guide under the roller chain. I lucked out and found a piece of wood that had a channel cut in it to let the chain lay in it. The elevator paddels are metal sheet metal. U might look at the bottom of the elevator. Theres a curved sheet of metal at the bottom of the elevator that the elevator paddels just miss. Its to catch and hold any loose kernals. It uasually catches water and dirt instead and rots out, which leaves the loose kernals to fall on the floor. As to the kinked chains, id spray Blaster on them liberally and work with them. Theyll come loose. I have alot of trouble with the elevator stop that stops the elevator from running while makeing turns. The chain should be tight enough that you can easily put just your thumb under the elevator chain. If you can pick up a paddel say 4in, its way too loose. !/2 that is ok. If you pull the pto shaft forward it shouldnt fall backward, but its easy to do as its so well balenced. I lowered the elevator top so as top be closer to my wagon, but not so close that it hits the wagon if I go across a ditch, tho I dont have any in my field. The corn sahould fall 1/3 of the way back of the front of the wagon, Vibration will kinda keep it level. Good luck, There good pickers.
