Well done. Must say it's nice watching someone do bearings on a combine while just sitting down for a coffee after a day at work. Good job there. Never fun when a bearing heats up on a combine 😳. Keep safe 🏴 👌 👍
this is my favorite farm channel, you run old farm equipment like I do and the positive is that I don't make payments, may seem to break down allot but no more then neighbors running newer equipment
Great job! Good to see some old iron getting fixed and given new life! I've said it before but it's great to see you working on and fixing the older equipment, if it does the job, it does the job and there's no need to spend the money on new! On most of the vessels that I sailed on, what we considered "new" equipment would be ancient to most other people. :-)
Oh the joys of working on a combine ! LOL BTDT before and its never fun. I had to replace the bearing on the main shaft on my old JD95 combine, It's about 90 pounds and its over your head and no good way to get to it ! But the 3 of us with the help of some chain and rope we got it off ! It was nice of you to wangle that free range steer for the owner , Kind of makes me think it came out of Adams county but the way it was acting . LOL The old parts machine saved the day again , People wonder why we keep our old junk sitting around in the shop or in the fence row and its because we know were going to need it someday ! Bandit
Nice repair job! When I first saw the steer, I thought he was working on a mid-day snack of round bales. The only one I've seen so unhappy with a full load of feed in his face.
Stupid Angus... Why I won't have any on the place... they're nuts when they have NO reason to be. Herefords are much gentler and easier to deal with, even the youngsters full of p!ss and vinegar. Later! OL J R :)
You can buy good presses at Harbor Freight for cheap now... I think I gave about $100 for my 20 ton press... cheap enough! Does a good job! Can't build one for that given the cost of steel nowadays. Later! OL J R :)
@@lukestrawwalker I'm afraid, I'm a regular at Harbor frieght! I've have pretty good luck out of most of their stuff. I built my press. I think, before HTF came to town. The thing is massive! I didn't spend to much it however. I work pretty cheap 😋Purchased the bottle jack at a flea market. 2 springs I did have the local hardware store order for me. They pull the plunger back up. The steel came from a scrap iron yard. That use to be not to far from me. Anything you could get on the scale was .12 cents a pound. I think they got it up to .20 before they closed it. Sure miss that place!
"Crazier than a woman you meet at the bar" lol That was great and so true. Looks like someone's fair calf is going to need a lot of training and good knot tying skills :)
Great job Jacob! Isnt it great when you can repair and possibly enjoy??Repairing your own equipment.Think of the $$$$ you saved over taking it to a shop to have it done.I charge $30 an hour in my small engine repair shop which is cheap in a lot of places but not where I live ,I am middle of the road.I like to save my customers $$$ but most shops are out for all the $$$ they can get.Again great job!
You sure the bearing was right-side-up in those greasing cones? I hope it serves you well, I really do. That bearing packing job would not suite me. Just saying.
Could say your farming operation is Assisted Living for farm equipment that has seen its better days I would have just cleaned them bearings up and repacked with high temperatures grease and check new seal with old if moisture then rusted will shorten life of clutch also that clutch setup is similar to old jd 2 cly next posting
Planted several hundred acres a year with a 400 6 row before I ever upgraded, served me well. Only drawback is the drum being out of sight behind the hopper, attach one of those little construction flags to the handle where you set your knock off wheels down on the drum to where it sticks straight up and you can glance back and make sure your drum is turning by seeing that flag waving back and forth. Poor man’s seed flow monitor.
Cyclo not cyclone. The Cyclos were IH's first attempt at an air planter. It'll work good if it's well kept and repairs/maintenance done, depending on what you're planting. The entire hopper is pressurized, so make sure the lid seal on the top of the hopper is in good shape. The rotating seed drum seal on back is also critical, as are the small tires that roll over the outside of the drum to shut off airflow through the seed drum holes to allow the seed to "drop" out of the dimples in the drum. If those tires are worn or flat spotted, say from being left down against the seed drum on a parked planter for 20 years, the planter won't plant right. The manifold and seed brush on the inside of the seed drum also have to be set correctly for the planter to work well... the manifold has to *just* clear the seed drum by a given amount (consult the manual). The brush likewise has to run at a given clearance from the drum to make sure multiple seeds are brushed away from the holes enough that only ONE seed can remain blown up against the holes in the drum, while the second one is brushed away and falls back. BUT if it's adjusted too tight it can brush all the seeds away from the holes and allow them to fall back to the seed pool at the bottom. The drum also has to turn as smoothly and evenly as possible, without jerking or shaking, so that the seed spacing has some hope of being somewhat accurate. Since the seed is blown for many feet through plastic tubing, before it arrived for a final plunge down the seed tubes of the rather primitive opener row units used on the 400 (the later models used 800 type "Tru-Vee" openers like a modern planter) the seed spacing was not great, particularly in corn, which needs the best seed spacing it can get, with as few skips and doubles as humanly possible, and as even a depth placement and closing as possible for maximum yields, which is why the Cyclos fell out of favor-- the seed metering drum was simply TOO FAR from the openers to ever maintain good spacing. Seed bouncing around inside dozens of feet of plastic tubing on its way to the openers was just a bad idea. For crops that AREN'T particularly sensitive to seed spacing or accuracy of placement, like say soybeans, grain sorghum, cotton, etc. they were perfectly fine for planting those crops. The few that you still find around have typically been set to plant those other crops, and a planter with finger pickups (Deere or Kinze) used to plant corn since they're MUCH more accurate in their metering (when properly set and maintained). The nice thing about a Cyclo is, they could be had with up to six rows (IIRC) feeding from a single seed drum. Combining two Cyclo units onto a single toolbar, one could plant up to 12 rows, and mounting all the row units close together, you could plant narrow row crops quite easily-- no problems with aligning drive chains or other such components... so long as the row units cleared each other to move up and down with field undulations, it wasn't a problem. Why a lot of them found themselves as bean planters before they were finally scrapped, and that's how the few remaining generally survive today. Later and good luck with it! OL J R :)
Did you buy the bearing set from the dealer? Says it comes with proper amount of shims to preload the bearings. Seems very expensive for what you get. $980 Kit has bearings, spacer, snap rings. Seals are extra $250ea. Tempted to just buy bearings from local parts shop and replace seals and hope for the besr
Yay it turns------after you burnt the dickens outa hit. But now it's got semi good used disks. Yay Jacob and Pops. Now will it work till judgement day? Depends when that is, do you know when the mountain burning with fire falls into the ocean scriptually? Well no man knows it is up to someone higher up on the task ladder than I.
When you sell this one and that inner bearing on the shaft goes the new owner is going to blame you for not replacing it, even though it's fine now and there's no need to replace it
@@boehmfarm4276 Thinking on your reply, I think once you have the electric clutch in some future combine you will find they are a lot less trouble. I've never had one apart, knock on wood. When do you think New Holland went with an electric clutch? TR88/99? You have hopefully got a long farming career ahead of you and eventually you'll end up with a combine with all the modern stuff that to me will truly be nightmares. The automated, computer controlled crap but hopefully we can keep the older ones going for a long time to come. I'll tell you a quick story about my neighbor right next to our farm. I think it was in 2011, I was combining corn with my L2 which I was pretty proud of but a new renter next door showed up with a brand new Deere and 12 row head just a flying through his corn. I felt like my old L2 was really a very small dinosaur comparatively but as the day went on, I eventually didn't see the Deere and then later I saw the repair truck pull into the field and drive over the hill. I found out later that his combine went haywire so that he couldn't stop, or turn or shut it off. Everything goes through a computer I guess. He ended up crashing into a waterway, destroyed the corn head and twisted the frame of the combine, totaling it. I didn't feel like my L2 was so bad after that...... but he got a loaner machine and still finished his 340 acres before I finished my 50 acre field. I don't ever plan on getting anything newer than the R series Gleaner in my last 15 years of farming because of the reason. The S series Gleaner went to computer controlled everything. Gleaner was the last to go that route so I'm told.
@@SilverGleaner This electronic crap that's out now will never last long enough to make it to the smaller farmers... by the time it's too old for the mid-size farmers it'll be SO full of electronic gremlins and no parts available particularly computer parts, sensors, wiring, etc. that they'll just go straight to the scrap yard. They're not making anything to last anymore, certainly not like the older equipment we're still running was built to last. It's like the space shuttle... the space shuttle was cutting edge technology-- for *1974*, which is why it was retired. The shuttle's structures were still in pretty good shape (though it did have some problems-- cracks in the fuel manifold supplying the three main engines was found, and it couldn't be removed from the tail structure of the shuttle due to its size). The avionics were all designed in the early to mid-70's, and of course what was a state of the art computer system back then is a complete dinosaur that NOTHING modern will work well with... You didn't just go down and buy replacement computer parts for it, either-- many components were being made on antiquated machines that had been retired and scrapped everywhere else in the electronics industry, often decades ago, and many of which were now one-of-a-kind. Some shuttle contractors were producing only a single component, and were the SOLE SOURCE for that component, and were having to maintain and operate the machinery and assembly line to manufacture that component-- it was the ONLY product manufactured by those machines, for the ONLY CUSTOMER (NASA). So you can IMAGINE how expensive those replacement parts were!!! While shuttle had gotten some "upgrades" over the years, including the "glass cockpit" upgrade which gave it some touch-screen capability, the shuttles were going to need basically a complete redesign of all its avionics systems post-2010 to continue to fly. Adding or refitting new avionics into an old system isn't as easy as "plug it in and do the programming"-- no it has to be designed to interface and work with 100% reliability in ANY possible mission mode or circumstances... it can't work "good enough" because if the computer decided to "lock up" at the wrong time it could destroy the vehicle. The upgrades that had been done in the past had demonstrated that basically they were at the point where it would be cheaper and easier to redesign the entire avionics system FROM SCRATCH to use modern components and programming rather than trying to keep "upgrading" the pathetically antiquated systems still used on shuttles. OF course to do that would be a multi-billion dollar undertaking, which would take YEARS to accomplish, for what ultimately was a nearly 50 year old vehicle system that was too expensive to fly anyway and was basically outdated and unneeded. That's why it was decided to retire the shuttles and replace them with less expensive alternatives. So it will be with these "electronic wonders" being sold now to farmers... at some point it'll be too expensive to maintain them, and the supply of parts will dry up, electronics that are 'standard equipment' now will be surpassed by other newer designs and equipment and won't be available any longer, and the few remaining machines won't be worth modifying to run with newer electronics or design "work arounds" for the old non-functional ones with no new parts available, so they'll be scrapped or maybe a scarce few end up as stationary nonfunctional museum pieces, like the remaining shuttles... Later! OL J R :)

Labrynth Seal - more of a flow discourager than a real seal. Aircraft engines use them to minimize air movement along rotating shafts.
I learn something new every day.
We got a international 400 cyclone six row planter at an auction sale for 200 bucks only person that bid on it. It should work good.
