Got some parts ordered from YT, and while I was shopping I saw this. What's is for? Where does it go? Thanks.

It looks like the chain tightners Dad had on his Gleaner E combine. Tom

Looks like a chain tensioner for the Gleaner combines including models K, F, M, and L.

"Wooden chain idler block, 5/8" hole. Fits Gleaner combine models: A, B, C, R, E, AH, CH."

Actually my 1570 Case tandom spreader has a wooden block for the chain tensioner to drive the apron chain.

I need to change the sprocket too as it's become quite hooked. Wooden idler is still good though.

I have a K Gleaner and have made a few of them for it.

I have an IHC one row corn picker that has a couple of them.
I used to make them all the time for Dad. Beat buying a
new sprocket!!

Case used them some too, my combines each have one or two on them. But they are used on many things where the chains turn realatively slow.

I'll have to go to making those if I can get that kind of money for short 2x4's Elm works best doesn't split and wears good.

hard maple best as it will absorb the oil-grease to keep from wearing that other woods will not. It is what the factories used a hundred and more years ago as at that time found it the best.
