| Our L3 seems to be losing the gap between the bottom of the bin and the unload auger. Like the bin is sagging. What would be causing this? |

| The elbow/swivel is sagging. Pretty normal as they get older. Look at a much newer rotary combine and see the brace the have installed from the frame upwards to the elbow to support it. |

| Excellent! Thanks for the guidance. Every completely remove the bin to redo the floor sheet? |

| Nope. Have a piece rolled into the correct shape and install it in chassis. |

May Wes sells a bin floor poly sheet with the side brackets. I installed one in our M3 as the bent bin auger wore the floor away. Took a couple of hours to install.

I know a guy who replaced the entire floor sheet, and it was somewhat labor intensive, but I imagine not nearly as bad as other colors. mostly the clean grain elevator disassembly was the major part. ------------- 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. |

That's spot on! Imagine doing it in a Deere --00 or --20 series combine! 5 auger troughs in a 7700 and I think 2 in a 7720. I'll stick with Gleaner!

Removed bin as part of combine rebuild. Pretty big job but can be done. Put a new stainless steel floor in on the outside (no ridge this way to catch seeds) of the bin bottom up each side (front and rear) about 2 ft. Had supplier pre-drill the stainless for the rivets. I figure it will be there long after the combine is done. Worked out good. |
