 Topic: Do these pins look worn?
Posted: 16 Nov 2010 at 6:21am |
Just looking over the variable speed on my M, and was wondering if these pins look worn. Is it rebuildable? Thanks uploads/2039/Gleaner_M_Combine_Photos_Nov10_004.jpg

They look pretty worn to me. It's easy to replace them by screwing them out and screwing the new ones in. Use some thread lock on the new ones....

Thanks, NEJim! You are confirming what I thought. There doesn't seem to be any noise from them at all, but I thought they were looking worn. Take care.

Also check the bushings in the sheave, if they get too bad will vibrate and wear the shaft, experince speaking.

Replace pins and bushings and it will last longer than you.If you are a real "tight wad" you can drive the bushings out and turn them 180 deg to have original new wear surface.These only wear on "load" side.

Hey guys, can this all be done with everything still on the combine, or should it be taken apart. I may take it all apart sometime, and replace the big bearing on the cross shaft, just for insurance. It is easier to change now, than in the field in August!

Kevin, it's not bad at all to take apart. As long as you are into it, bearing replacement is probably a good idea. Then it's all new and good for several years.
