That wheel hub won't hold up, once those bolt holes get chewed out the bolts can't keep it tight. They make reinforcement plates with all new holes that can be welded in, this is what we've had to do on our older 915, cured it. Also you can level up the header by altering the air pressure in the tires from one side to the other. Just found your channel, were small farmers like you guys, love running the older equipment, it's paid for.
Y'know, they weren't really designed for it I suppose. I do like them for soybeans with the rigid head, simply because the combine floats over the field surface with a little less side-to-side tilting.
we had the SE thing happen to a 6600 we were lucky just like you. we had a bit more of a safety issue with ours we were on a side Hill and the lower side tire was the one that decided he didn't want to play anymore. makes a scary situation
To quote Ron White "The wheel fell off. The wheel fell off. The wheel fell the fuck off. Spinning me into a dimension of pissed off that I have never been in before." But in all seriousness, that could have been so much worse. That combine could be laying on it's side full of grain and you could be hurt. I love seeing that ole girl still hard at it
It's just part of the job. I'm glad it wasn't any worse, and we got back up and running in fairly short order. Makes a guy appreciate when everything is going right!

Great video good luck combining your beans
The dual tires are awesome till something happens buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Like the duals. Makes it look tuff.
Good attitude, I always look at the positives as well. It always could have been worse I say.
When I saw your videos a yr ago I thought to my self I would not have duels on that to much stress I still run my 55 for corn

You can run some wire stock from the nose of the snout to the back of the head to help keep your reel from bunching up with bean stems

Seems like every time I start thinking about how long a field will take and plan ahead for the next, I have a monkey wrench thrown in that plan.
I hate combines with a red hot passion, spent many a day fixing problems like yours believe it or not.
They're great when they're working right. But there sure are a lot of potential failure points, even on these older, more simple rigs!

Guess he was absent on lug nut day.
Are you going to keep making videos
Damn. Sorry that happened, but thanks for sharing just one of the many problems that randomly show up on a farm. Love those old yellow-tops.
