Hello Group,
Using a Gleaner E to harvest some corn and I get corn cobs in the walkers. To my understanding I have two options; lower the cylinder clearance to bust the cobs up or add wire screens to the walkers. Would anyone happen to have some pictures of the screens you've added to your walkers?
Thanks!

Same walker screen as a K-F-K2-F2 uses. Basically, imagine a piece of #9 wire six feet long placed under the square holes dividing them in half. It would take four or five of these per walker. Individual wire like that would have to be brazed into place every third hole I'd guess. OEM screens are a welded assembly that are held in place by clips. Screens slide in from the opening in the front, requiring walker removal to install them.

My A2 had some form of woven wire tied up inside walker when I got it. It split the squares and was twist tied in place with bailing wire. Worked great.

Get a set of walker screens installed. Try a nearby combine salvage yard to locate a set. Do not crush the cob at the cylinder/concave.

Set both my K and A2 to break the cobs and works great. Very minimal kernel damage when set correctly. # 2 and 4 concaves. 1/4-1/2” clearance, don’t remember rpm.

They will do an excellent job set to grind but you can travel soooo much faster running whole cobs.

Can go 1st gear almost full variator. That’s plenty fast I’d say.

My A2 would run in second in 180bu corn with 3-30's around 3 1/2 mph.

Thanks everyone! I'll go to a local yard and see what I can find. Currently running a 330 on an E. Not in a rush by no means in the field as its mostly used for antique shows. I did put the 2 row corn head on for the Half Century of Progress Show last year, is a little time consuming opening the inspection doors after every other dump and picking the cobbs out of the walkers. Wasn't crazy about crushing the cobs I assumed that would put more pressure on the sieve. Was also thinking I'd add a little more wear to my cylinder bars and pull the motor a little harder by crushing them as well. I'll find some screens/rods and get her fixed up for Rantoul next year.

The Gleaner combine back in those days wasn't a great capacity corn harvesting machine the way they wanted you at set it up. The wooden raddle slats don't like whole cobs, so be cognizant of that. But, running a whole cob adds so much more capacity to the cleaning shoe it is amazing !! and the bin sample is cleaner too.
