Hi Gene,

They are right behind the raddle cleanout door at the otter edges and "just inside" the housing. They are the bearings that the lower end of the chain rides on and they incorporate the chain tightener on the outside of the feeder housing.

They are a real bear to get at. Have to lock the header in the up position, pull the cleanout door and "squeeze" yourself up into that small little space behind the concave door, with no light, to work on the darned things.

It is far easier to unhook the chain to get 'em out of there, but they will come out with the chain in place if you hold your mouth just right.

The only difficult bearing to get at on a Gleaner.

I'm used to running the machine in dry edible beans, which translates into running a heck of a lot of dirt thru the combine and these bearings have to be checked yearly under these conditions.
