Hi Everyone Well I did it ,I dusted off my Dad"s McCormick Deering thresher. Everything went fairly well but now I have lots of adjustment and setting questions and how do they change for different grains. If anyone can help I will walk down to the shed and get any information we might need from the machine.
Thanks

What are you thrashing? A handful of sheaves in and looking at the end result will give you good indications. Make sure your wind and sieve adjustments are adjustable and what kind of cylinder are you running? Spike or rasp bar? Watch where your cylinder adjustments are right now and see if you can adjust things like clearances and speed. When you start adjusting and tuning, make sure you do one thing at a time and take time to observe results. Run your power at near full throttle or find a tachometer and run your power at one level and set cylinder speed. If anybody is with you helping out, put the fear of the Lord in them for safety and be careful yourself. And Good Luck. There is a magic about thrashing that will draw a crowd.

Hi Part of the problem is I don't know what to run when. The cylinder has teeth on it and the machine has three sets of concaves with it .One has nothing on it one has a single row of teeth and one has a double row. The last time Dad ran it (1970) it was left with the single row of teeth on the concave, with the teeth on the top. It is possible I will see three grains wheat,rye, and oats. I am powering it with a 1920 Rumely Oilpull and using a tach which lets me run it a little over 1100 rpm which is within the recommended speed range printed on the side of the machine. I also am taking the sieves (?)out so I can get them unstuck and adjustable again. So there will be something else I won't know how to adjust. Sorry I am so windy its all new to me. The macine is one of the later ones built and is in exallent shape and just needing minor repairs. We are trying to put on a small show and would like to have it running the best it can. So I sure thank you for taking the time to help!

If you can't find a manual for it look for a manual for an older (40's-50's) McCormick combine and settings will be very similar
