Well I am bi-tractoral again. Got to mix some green with my 3 Farmall Hs. Its a 1968 model with the GM 292 6 cylinder gas engine. She last ran in 1993. Had a new clutch installed in 1992. The tires and belts are in good condition. Got it for $600.

I'll post here and on the JD combine board at harvesting.com this weekend. I am going to stick in a new battery, spark plugs, oil, drain the old varnished gas and go from there.

I messed with the combine 3 separate times on Saturday. I could not budge the engine. I went ahead and drained the oil. Only one quart drained but at least it didn't have water in it. The drain hose, at the oil pan, has a very minor leak. I poured in 10 quarts of oil (2 too much on purpose) so the crank could soak during the night. Today 320U and his farm neighbor Harold showed up at 9AM. We pulled off the first fanbelt and placed a 36 inch pipe wrench on the belt pulley. Wouldn't budge. We then stuck a 5 foot pipe on the pipe wrench. It budged! U turned it one revolution and then we pulled the spark plugs and shot in WD 40. We then turned the engine over several times with the pipe wrench. It really loosened up nicely. The spark plugs were in excellent condition. We also pulled the strainer and bowl off. Gas tank was basically dry. I will wash it out today or tomorrow before I re-install the bowl and strainer.

I will have to get some starter fluid and a new battery, then I will unhook the gas line at the carb and run the electric fuel pump until fresh gas is flowing. Then I will attempt to start it at that time.

Yup, that's the knock on 4400 gas machines. Engine fires.

If it's got a straw chopper on the back, make sure there are good bearings in it and that the shaft isn't bent. Have seen quite a few 4400s with cracked separator hoods because of bouncing straw choppers.

Thanks for the info. I don't plan to clutch in the drum, etc. until I thoroughly grease everything. Yes it does have the chopper on the back.

Red, with the flat screen over the radiator, it would have to be a 1972 or 1973. They started making the rotary screen in '74. First 4400 was made in 1972. Before that was 45, 55, 95, and 105. I collect red tractors, but I farm with the green. I have a 1988 model 7720 with a 643 cornhead and a 920 flex platform. Don Summers.
