I haven't gotten mine yet Randy, but I will have to agree with you. Jim is an awesome person and a friend and I look forward to seeing him every year at Hutch. I STILL attend his class on the Snap Coupler. It's nice seeing new faces there.
Randy, you don't need any eccentric rings? |

Ted, I saw your post for those rings. You had me thinking, as I have some eccentrics which I really should take them off, clean them up, and get them to turn easier.

There is an advantage when the print shop of the Old Allis News is only down the road 3 1/2 miles.

Jim Palmer? IF it is AC, then Jim knows about it, or he knows someone who does know about it. 5 Stars.

Thanks everyone! Im looking forward to this. Im hoping to have a mixture of factual and light hearted stories. I know it is impossible to replace Walt and the Plow Peddler, but hopefully this will fill the large gap that is left. My wife Caite came up with the name "Parts from the past".

Not sure if he was there when Bob and I went mud bogging on the 100 or not… That would be an interesting story Lol I’ve already got the title… “ Gleaner T walks on water, SP-100 sinks like rock” |

Creston, you should do a story on your 860 stripper. I think everyone who reads the magazine would enjoy an article about cotton as most of the readers probably live north of cotton country. I was very impressed with the talk/video you did a couple years ago comparing the Gleaner to the JD combine.

That's an idea, John. That would be fun to write, but in order to explain how the cleaning mechanism works, it would require a few photos, as it is totally different from a combine or any other type of harvester. If you've not seen the inside of one, it's hard to understand, and I didn't understand it myself until about 2 years ago when I started getting more involved with the machines. Once you understand it, it's a super simple concept, with virtually no upkeep/maintenance. You really can't wear one out too bad, since there aren't many parts to one. A friend of mine has one with over 6,600 hours on the meter, and other than a few bearings, belts, and saw blades, it's been trouble free.
I might go pull all the covers off my 860 next time I'm at the farm and get photos to demonstrate how it works, then type up an accompanying article. The video about cotton strippers on the J and L Videos youtube page does a good job of explaining the process as well, but it is still only an animation and doesn't show how the saw drums work with the grid bars.
