 No, just bushings. I use a grease called SuperLube. It's a full synthetic grease that works great.  I grease the axles until the grease starts to seep out pass the seal. Than I stop and grease once more after about 10 miles. After that I don't worry about it. I always check the hubs after I get it home to see if they are hot are not. Never found any warm let a loan hot.

Two long pieces of metal riding "loose" so that either one or both would run through the cylinder. Ryan and myself had just enough time tonight to look over the 66 for possible lock downs, nothing. There has to be some info or brochure out there. Saying that, I am surprised that I have never seen either tool on a used Allcrop ????

 I understand Wayne, sounds crazy I know.
 I have the operators manual, parts manual, service manual and countless sales brochures for all the All-Crops.  Not a one shows or says where they go. They should of had a tool box under drag chain on the left side. That would have been handy for tools and parts.
Thanks & God Bless

The early ones had a box on the back. The operator's manual was in there, and you could put tools in there too. Their downfall was they didn't have a hole in the bottom, and most rusted out.

Really? Wow! What's the furthest you've pulled them fast like that?  I may have a camel back 60 to pull about 75 miles sometime in the near future. 

I believe what you are saying, but I can't believe if this is possible, everyone has always says to keep it 25 or slower.

us kids used to ride up there too...watching the grain come up the canvas....sometimes we'd stand in front of the bin and play with the grain going into the bin. dad said be careful up there...and we were! I guess we weren't to worried about falling in, it would just plug up if we did! lol

Granddad's dad had a MM pull type. As a little kid, granddad's job was to stand on a makeshift platform behind the header and use a pole to keep the auger from gumming up when they got into Canadian thistles. He said looking back now, it's a wonder he never fell in.

The furthest I've pulled a combine is about 50 miles. Keep in mind you're not going 50 miles an hour the whole way. I slow down at blind curves and hills. The best roads to get on are actually the 4 Lane Highway's where you can camp out in the left-hand lane and leave the header of the combine hanging over the shoulder where it's out-of-the-way .
As for the speed 25 is the safe speed. The implement tires are rated for 25 miles an hour. Most of the old combine tires have been replaced with either car or truck tires already.

 Don't forget to put a safety chain on. I have never had one come lose before but if I'm pulling one 75 miles a safety chain is a must.

If I end up pulling my camel back, most of the journey will actually be on 4 lane highways. I may make a special hitch for my truck to put the tongue further to the right, so the header won't overhang.

 You would think that I would have done that by now but I keep putting it off. Some day I'll get it done.
