Hello CE! You certainly never have a dull moment at your farm....Glad you and friends got it sorted out. Stay warm, work safe, enjoy your weekend! Doug@ the "ranch"
i got a perfect semi for you. l9000 mechanical n14 cummins, 9 speed on walking beam suspension. that suspension is perfect for going in and out of fields! it would need your nice clean louisville cab swapped on it. this one has typical rust. runs like the day it was made.....and it has a good clutch!
Cummins goofed when they went full electronic on the 855.. Got a Versatile with the old "big cam" mechanical, fires up funs good.. got a truck with the computer.. POS freaking boat anchor!!! BTW, Freightliner air ride or Pete air leaf.. set up right, will out perform walking beams in the field 😁😎👍
Fun of having a truck i had a ford f series that i think had the same trans and clutch but with a fuel pincher detroit power plant . I am spoiled with Axial Flows lol we never have a dust cloud coming out of the feeder house .
@@cesmith4566 how can I get in touch with you. I have a Toyota skid steer #7 with a bad hydraulic pump. I will sell the loader if I can get the pump fixed
The radiator on my F2 leaked for the last five years and I just kept feeding it, then I put a water pump in it last year and discovered the fan shroud had wore a slit in the top of the tank, goobered some JB weld on it and it doesn't seem to leak anymore.
You should be running full rpms for consistent performance. I believe your high idle with no load should be somewhere around 2500 + or - 50 but your book should have the correct figures. On my L2 I rarely let the engine get down to 2300 rpm and that was only in very green stem soybeans which is a load sometimes. Never slow your engine down with the throttle lever while combining because you will have trouble getting a clean sample. It's made to run wide open. Edit... I run the L2 no lower than 2400 which is the rated loaded rpm.
It runs pretty constant at 2500rpm. Doesn't seem to slow down evan in heavy corn. Does anyone still make a concave or rasp bars for a M2? I'm leaving kernels on a few cob's.
@@cesmith4566 Not sure if AGCO still does but if your bars aren't too bad they can be rebuilt. I think Sunnybrook does them and they might offer a new concave too. It's easier to get new L series parts lately.
@@cesmith4566 Did you find new bars and concave yet? Not sure if AGCO offers one still or if they do that it might be much higher priced. Ebay shows a 9 bar which is mainly used for small grain www.ebay.com/itm/V18039-Concave-9-Bar-Fits-Gleaner-Combine-M-MH2-MH3-M2-M3/271416969249?hash=item3f31b64821:g:sdwAAOSwn1FZtgtR I also found a 7 bar that is more for corn/soybeans here www.agriseek.com/s/Gleaner-Concave All State Ag Parts looks like they sell a quality concave but you'd have to call them to get details. www.tractorpartsasap.com/conventional-concave-new-gleaner-103067.html Abilene shows bars with hardware for $950 but they look like the narrow tooth which are needed for small grain. They'll work in corn but in green stem soybeans not so good compared to wide spaced bars. Wide spaced bars do damade wet corn a bit but I rarely combine wet corn with my L2 or R52. By wet, I mean over 22%. I'd be less concerned about 7 vs 9 bar concave and focus on getting wide spaced cylinder bars. Call these suppliers because they may not show that they have the concave or bars but they may still be able to build them. Also call and your AGCO dealer. I have found generally AGCO has better quality and if the box of parts shows up damaged or missing pieces, the other companies might leave you in a bind trying to resolve the issue. I ordered an SCH cut system from AGCO and about 1/3 of the guards were gone because the boxes of parts looked like they traveled through the Battle of the Bulge and my dealer replaced every thing with what he had on hand plus they ordered the wrong knife head and they resolved that right away. It cost my $75 more through AGCO than Shoup.
@@cesmith4566 Also I'd go back to your injection pump and set your high rpm at 2500 to 2550 so you don't have to adjust the speed with the throttle lever. The whole combine will do a better job because the governor will go to it's hard set spot and only dip under load and not overshoot when the load suddenly lightens. Use an rpm gun from NAPA using reflective tape to get true engine rpm when setting it but your monitor will probably be close enough.

For corn it would be nice to have a semi to fill!
Yea 800bu a load was a lot less running around than 300 bu and wait on the trunk to get back!
JC good. Man !
JC is a good friend, he would give you the shirt off his back!
Always something needs fixing! Glad you can keep going.
Never fails always something needs fixing! Thanks Pete

Adapt and overcome!
That's right!👍
At first I thought it was our semi trailer
We're you missing it...lol

Yea this one is split at the seem, looks like it was sodered once before its gonna get fixed this winter! Thanks for watching
Always good to have trucks when you need them! Clutches are one of my favorite things to do..NOT!!!
I'm not looking forward to this one just got the clutch yesterday and snow is on the way!
@@cesmith4566 nice. NOT
