Hey Bud pretty good explanation, not easy to do. Plz note, Ur raddle chain is "WAY" too loose. Operator's manual will show U how to adjust it. Have a Gleaner day! 🙂
Not quite. Modern combines are rotary, and the older combines like mine are conventional cylinder type combines. The rotary runs the crop through a big screw type rotor, and the conventional just feed the material into the threshing cylinder which looks like a big soup can spinning about its central axis and has a bunch of rough bars on it that beat the crop material in a way that makes it loose its seeds. Mine is a 1971. Its 51 years old. Thanks for watching!
It's good to show how machines actually work. Not everyone's uses machines like this or has ever had any contact with one. A small constructive criticism is that the machine is so noisy that when you are speaking about what the combine and you are doing the speech is drowned out by the noise. Why are you only harvesting 2 rows with a 3 row machine.?
Thanks, yeah I need to learn about microphones in the next year. I am running two rows because I planted my corn with a 4 row planter. I could run 3, but I’d need to come back and get the 1. So, one its easier on the machine to run two, two its easier for me to keep track of where I’ve been, and three it made it easier to keep stalks feeding into the head going around curves. Maybe in the future, I’ll pick up a six row planter. But for now, I’ll prob keep planting with the old 4 row. Thanks for watching!
There is something about those old Gleaners! Thanks for the walkthrough!
Yeah, they’re pretty neat. Thanks for watching!
Better tighten the raddle chain up a bit. Adjustment is behind feeder beater. You can rotate the roller if it's worn egg shape.
Thanks Raymond! I’ll have to get after it this off season. I was wondering where its adjustment was. Thanks for watching!
That’s a good looking ole Gleaner
Thank you!

Thanks Jeff! I’ll have to get after it this off season. Thanks and you too!
Are new combines still built the same. What year is yours?

What size pulley is that on the cylinder drum? Thanks
Hi Troy! 20” is on there in the video. Allis Chalmers recommends 20” for corn, 13” for beans, and 8.5” for wheat.
And that's the way it is folks.
Thanks for watching!
