This F3 Gleaner with 1383 hours sells March 25th near Basehor,Kansas...It looks like its ready to fight the mud.....I remember an F2 set up like this in my area in the early 1980's....It would go where others couldn't..

yup, only issue is the LH final drive axle nut -  the extra stress will pop the cotter key on the castle nut and back off the axle.  It is not an issue if it is checked every season  - and almost no one who hasn't had the problem does... out of sight out of mind...  in the meantime the unit , if the head is set correctly , will almost float.
When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money..

Wow, that F3's wheels are wide! Do I see a fluid line on front drive tires?  

A pair of 23.1x26 (2 wheel drive) wheels turned around so their cleats ride up on mud, coupled with 18.4-16.1 rear steers will walk across soft fields too.

...HMMM...it was the left side on my f2 with "extra bin capacity".Went out after lunch and oil running down tire.Bout crapped. Figured I was looking for a final but after ripping it apart,I found a sheared cotter.It hadn't come too far apart yet and just cleaned up and readjusted.Didn't even hurt the seal. That was before MACK said to drill and install roll pin so I need to pay attention now. Been kinda nice if they'd designed a spacer between brgs so you could cinch it down tight. I know,added cost....

So what did it bring?
Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine.

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.
