| Priced one from AGCO a few years ago for my 15ft F2.....had doubled in a couple years....was around 1500 but available !!!.Thinking the plastic liner made more sense...not cheap either. |

Thanks Albert up at Maryville MO, i have found a NOS floor for my head. The price was very reasonable. Just have to make the trip halfway across KS to get it. I have the trucking handle. Have a load going to salina. |

Bob has a fully equipped sheet medal shop with the tin in the bins but at the price he found a NOS pan it was faster to put in the new pan and will save hours of time punching all the holes in a shop built pan. Sometimes is less money in the long run to buy a new factory part over aftermarket or even a used one. ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

I think Bob is headed West to get the new pan so it might be here Sat morning. I have not seen the lower pans in Bob's last pic before I'm thinking they are not factory, have you guys seen them before? ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

   Today has been busy. Moved a couple of containers this morning. Went to dads and started on putting the head back together. Cleaned up all weld on garbage. Clecoed in the NOS floor pan. I used some modern technology. I wasnt in the mood to buck 110 rivets. Since i have access to a huck bolt gun, i hucked the floor in. Put the guards, and what new sickle sections I had. Im also updating to bolt on sections. No more rivets. Next step is the auger. The bearings are froze up in it. Bobby (MO) |

| Huck bolts are mix between a rivet and a bolt. The stem on the bolt is scearated stem on it. You put a huck lock on the stem. The nose of the gun is designed to crush the huck lock to the scearated stem on the bolt. They use them to assemble Paccar cabs. The huck bolts dont come loose. Bobby (MO) |

| I used to work for Carrier Air Conditioners. We used a huck bolt gun to fasten frame rails together. Once you put something together with one the only way to get it apart is cut it. I hadn't seen one of them before or since those Carrier days. |

Bobby is going to rebuild his "AII" back to new as he can with mostly new AC parts.

 Took the auger apart and the finger crank shaft is worn bad. Looks like the grease worms have been in the bearings. AGCO wanted $150 for a NOS. Went to a local weld shop found a piece of 1 in shaft.  Went out to the farm and broached a keyway in the end. Welded the other end on it. More pictures to come. |

    Dad called me today to tell me more Christmas packaged showed up from Zieglar Ag. Albert sent the rest of my sickle sections. Filled the sickle and adjusted it. Put the reel on. Had to put just 1 bat and 4 new spindles on. Decided to call it a night. Bobby Mo ------------- 1 WD45D, 1 A2 GLEANER, Wd w 33mounted corn picker |

Bobby knew he was going to spent lot's of time and money to rebuild, refit, restore, renew or what ever someone might call it and I'm happy to see him doing it right just like he go's at all the work Bobby turns out. ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

Very nice work being performed there. I have looked for a straight cut head for my F, and seems none to be found... most heads are for beans.

I know there is a pile of them in Buhler KS. Mikes Equipment has acres of combines. And 12 old turkey barns full of parts. You just have to get out in wheat country. Bobby MO ------------- 1 WD45D, 1 A2 GLEANER, Wd w 33mounted corn picker |

 Kids wanted to go out to dads this afternoon to play in the creek. While the kids played, I put all the new spindles in, and 3 new bats on the reel. I straightened 2 of the bats. Replaced all the hardware that holds all the spindles and bats on.  Started to put the anti wraps on the ends. Im hoping by next weekend, I'll have the head on the combine. Thanks for all the positive comments. Bobby MO ------------- 1 WD45D, 1 A2 GLEANER, Wd w 33mounted corn picker |

Hucks are an aircraft fastener. Kenworth uses them in pretty much everything. Like everyone said, once together they hold tight ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.
