| I recently purchased a JD 9510 ( 1999 model with 900 sep hrs). In the past I have seen several posts in regards to fires around the countershaft where it goes "through" the combine. At the time I read the posts I had a 6620, so the posts did not mean as much as they do now. I tried to search for the thread but was unsuccessful. Anyway it is my understanding that on some models there can be a problem where the countershaft goes from the gearbox behind the cab across to the right side of the combine and it was the fact that chaff/straw built up in this tube and can cause a fire. I have a couple of questions I need help with -
1. have I got the right area where the problem is located? At first I thought it was the main drive shaft from the motor where it goes through a tube to the gearbox, but when looking around I think people mean the main countershaft which runs behind the cab.
2. are 1999 - 9510's combines one of the ones that can develop this problem?
3. I blew the chaff from this countershaft "tube" from the right side of the combine to the left side. There is a good size hole to get a lance in on the right side.
4. Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent potential problems other than to keep this area blown free of chaff?
Sorry the post is so long - but I am concerned about a fire.
thanks for any help/replies
