Germany | We recently bought a 2002 2388 combine with around 2000 separator hours. When taking it apart we found that the front of the chaffer rails had cracks and pieces broken out. There has also been some welding on the left pitman assembly. The other components of the shaker system seem to be all right...see photos below.
Doing some reading on this topic I found basically 3 items that might prevent that the rails break again in the future:
- Use the "SHAKER SYSTEM ALIGNMENT KIT" to align the left and right side of the shaker. This seems to me the most likely cause since the rails are broken on the front end where the left and right side are connected...
- Install the "cleaning system repair kit" from Heartland repair services. Not sure if this helps since there seem to be no problems at the rear of the shaker which could be caused by the shaker hitting the mount of the rear axle
- Change bushings. Most of them look o.k. but will replace a few that look worn out...
Do you agree that the left/right alignment should be the most important thing to do for this shaker system to prevent problems in the future? What else would you repair/install?
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
