Where to start check the thing from top to bottom
were trying to trade off a 9760STS and that thing is wore out bad it got to a point last fall where we could only harvest 1800 bu an hr in corn or it would throw it out the back end
check the rotor elements for wear with that many hrs they should be due for all new elements also check the concaves
quite a few bearings will have been replaced or will need to be soon
wiring faults also start to show up along with worn hyd hoses
check fountain auger,unloading auger flighting also run the unloading auger and listen see if it sounds rough
check the shaker pan ours broke up

check the sieves too they are prone to cracking up around the welds
moisture meter if it has one that can be an expensive fix if you want it working
also check the header clutch for wear and get up there and wiggle it on the shaft there's a hidden grease Zerk that doesn't get greased then the hub wears on the splines and that's another expensive fix
heres a pic of the clutch the zerk is behind the hub on the shaft
