sw mn | my first combine was a 702 uni with a 717 combine unit and a husking unit for ear corn. liked it on the husking bed but that combine unit was a pain. It was way under built on size of shafts and bearings. always seemed to lose a bearing or whatever in between the units so you had to move the back wheels to side, put the jack stands on the combine and take the combine unit off to make the repairs. I really got good at putting it on and off and tried to keep from blowing up by timing how fast i could detach or reattach the units. I had a couple of completely stupid moments when i over filled the hydraulic tank, which was above the inside exhaust manifold, and when i shut it off and climbed down I heard a whoosh as the oil dripped onto the manifold. I raced back up the ladder grabbed the fire extinguisher and put it out without any real damage to the unit. Sure did wonders to give you a adrenalin rush. Always said it was the stupidest thing i ever did putting those fires out! | |
