It seems a little slow over on the Combine section yet. So, I will post my questions here as well. Anyway, it is that time of year to make necessary combine repairs. Last fall I think I might have cut my beans relying primarily on the plastic skids under the head and the lift provided by the compressed nitrogen tank. Worked well, just cut beans too low and got into the dirt once in a while. Probably not the best for the life of the plastic skids. Combine is Dial-a-matic and head is just older style "header height". There is an adapter between the header wiring and combine wiring. I need some trouble shooting ideas???????? I do know about pushing the little pins on ends of the hydraulic / solenoid valve. It does work - push the pin on the left header goes down / push the pin on the right header goes up. Manual header control lever in cab works as it should as well.
Can I hot wire with a jumper the solenoids one at a time to see if they work properly? Does the polarity need to be correct?
Can I test the combine wiring/controls at the plug by making electrical contact between certain pins in the plug?????? Anyone know what each pin or color of wire does ????
Since the combine has Dial-a-matic, does the DAM knob in the cab have to be set on a certain setting ( 0, 1, 2, 3) for the older height control system on the head work?
Can I add Dial-a-matic to my older style head? Older style head has the micro switches mounted up by the reel operated by the long rod. Dial-a-matic box is mounted down by the sickle directly on the rod operated by the skid plates. Can the Dial-a-matic box be easily added to this rod??
I might add that the hydraulic oil temperature light did come on a few times last fall. Probably takes at least an hour before it comes on. Stop and it goes off and stays off for half and hour or better. These were warm days.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
