That was a good patch job with a great improvement to allow easy clean out when you're done. They should have done this when they were designing it. See you soon.
Ross, in the future, if you have to do this again, use piano hinges. Makes mounting them easier and far less worry of any possibilities of binding happening. We did something like this to an old MM pull type combine, didn't quite get the hinges perfect and opening was a bit of a hassle due to the hinges didn't get aligned properly when we welded them. If my memory serves correctly, my grand dad when he did his door, he added weather stripping to help seal the edges. I for one have always given your video's a thumbs up, shame can't give 2 thumbs up then again, it's youtube. LOL Great video as always, cheers :)
The community college here in Beatrice Ne had an Oliver combine that had several glass panels in different places so the ag students could see what was going on inside.
I remember changing a shaker pan in a 545 when I was younger I think it was a pain in the azz to replace been a long time ago . My friend works at a place that has a fleet of ford's like the one you bought he said also check mass air flow sensor check plug in and tap on it lightly had a few start right up. Don't hurt to try. From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
Nice job on the door, looks good. We had a JD 458 batch corn dryer from the late 1950's and we did our best to keep it clean, but I added many repair panels to that! Got lucky and found some replacement stamped sheet metal parts after Deere got dealers on some type of stocked parts data base in the mid 80s and were able to find new lower "boots" for the bottom auger.
Hey Ross! Seems like everything you're doing on your combine, I've already done on mine, only it's a MF 750. I had to redo the pan also, and like the viewer with the IH said, Shoup had to grain pan material at the time. I took the pan out and replaced the whole thing. Big job, and almost impossible to do alone. I'm sure Shoup doesn't have it for the MF anymore, they've gotten so there isn't much they do have for it anymore. But maybe if they have it for something, you could make it like new again with something they have? I remember it came in a roll, cut to fit. Good luck! Keep the videos coming!
Always a challenge to keep worn tinwork on combines repaired. In other farm videos, grain pans, bin and header bottoms, and unloading auger tubes seem to be common wear points. One comment I've heard is that bushels handled wear a machine more than hours. Rice machines supposedly have heavier gauge components because of the abrasive nature of rice.
Harbor Fright has a drill bit sharpener that kinda works, cheaper than throwing away drill bits before their time. That repair door is a great idea,. Might even weld rod across the top of the bolts and not even need a wrench to access in the middle of the field.
Don't some place like Shoups or the like, have those grain pan ,corrugated sections ? My old IHC 915 had that same grain pan system, I had to crawl inside to repair the stress breaks a few times, not a pleasant experience! As I have mentioned in the past, we collect implements to go along with our tractors. I've gathered up a selection of early hay balers and a few combines. Would still like to find either an Oliver 33/35 or maybe one of those 5555 or 7300 versions. We did find a decent 18 pull type, I started out with one of those way back in the late 60s.
in a perfect world, that may work, but used that to coat a newly fabricated flatbed and it trapped moisture and steel rusted away. in 6 years the only thing left was the rhino coating flapping in the wind. 😎
I understand a guy's gotta do what he's gotta do, however watching you cut metal with a segmented diamond blade. Makes me wanna donate some carbon cutting wheels! Haha carry on good sir.
Great job on the elevator door Ross ingenuity at it's finest a true farmer fix
Great video Ross, I hope you can get the old girl patched up. It would be cool to see her in action again.
Thank you for explaining all that combine wizardry
Thanks for watching!!
Factory preferred modification. Nicely done Ross.
Great video! Love you explanation of how a combine works for those who aren’t familiar
Still loving these videos!

Duct tape and sheet metal are a combines best friend!!!
Can't wait to see her in action
Great explanation of thrashing!!! I love my jd 4400 circa 1976. Same principles for all pre rotor combines! Makin it more better Ross!!!!
Nice work and thanks for the explanation of the internal workings it was very informative.
Great term that every field is not created equal.
Ross, you operate that grinder like a skilled surgeon use their scalpel during surgery 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael
Excellent video again can't wait to see it in the field
Love your videos old boy. See ya tomorrow
Love this project

cant wait till next vid, i wana see more on this combine
Great video Ross. Another old piece of equipment becoming more better!
Hope you can get a plate welded good on the shaker pan to see it pick that corn
Thanks Doug! The fieldwork video will be out this weekend!!
Another great video Ross. You did a great job on that door. Can't wait to see it back in the fields soon.
I like your welding helmet.
Might I recommend harbor freight’s cheap bar clamps? I use them quite a bit when welding, especially nice for tight blind areas.

I'm really looking into a 7300
We have one for sale

Ross, what kind of cutting wheel are you using??
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!
When you paint the inside try painting it with rhino liner and you may have more wearability and rust resistance
in a perfect world, that may work, but used that to coat a newly fabricated flatbed and it trapped moisture and steel rusted away. in 6 years the only thing left was the rhino coating flapping in the wind. 😎
There is a reason the X9 1100 is $1.4 million. They made it so it can do all the thinking for the lose nut behind the wheel.

Hope get it fixed bud be careful your eyes bud
Thanks Alex!
I’d of left the vise grips then spent the next year thinking where I left them
👨🔧👍👍
Thanks Tom!
Put new ones in
Hopefully I can make it even better before next year
Try fix up nitro Cars having problems lot thew had put all new pull starter on grind screws off they rounded off bud
It’s really inconvenient when that happens, but that’s the way it goes when working on stuff 😭
Your pan was in much worse shape than mine. I had about a fist size hole
There is problem with the like button 🙄
