Another friend has the IH 1660. Edit: I can't figure out why the videos are so crappy and low quality. On my iPhone 5 they look great!

You're welcome! It's even more fun in person! Even if we do have a little trouble every now and then.... The upper canvas on the painted combine self destructed. This summer, one of the slats came loose, and all the rivets and staples ripped out. A little patchwork fixed it, no problem. This time, ALL the slats ripped out of the canvas, and the combine gobbled up one of them. Then the canvas got a huge rip in the middle. That combine was through for the day! The one I was running fared a bit better. My canvases, although they were the same age, are in better shape. MUCH better shape! They held up, until just as I finished, as soon as the last of the crop went into the cylinder, about half of the top canvas flaps pulled out of the slats. How that happened, I don't know! I always use a small impact to tighten the nuts, so they won't be loose. However, it happened just as I was killing the PTO, so nothing got torn up. Also, it threw the chain that drives the clean grain elevator. I think it was just too loose. Also, the belt that drives the straw spreader jumped off 3 times. Not sure why. It's never done it until today. The other combine has always done fine. Also, for some reason, all the grain from both combines was perfectly clean, except the last load on great-granddad's combine (The one I ran with the B). The last load in it was very clean, until about the last 1/2 bushel. When that last little bit came out, it was almost PURE chaff and dust and junk. What in the world happened there, is beyond me! And...last thing....the truck was parked kinda on a slope, and the way the combine had to be parked to unload was a little weird...anyways, long story short, I had the auger in the "unloading" position, but to pull up beside the truck, and get as close as I could, I needed the auger up. Well, I took the tractor out of gear, and it didn't roll. I thought "OK, good." I get off to tilt the auger up, and I get about half way there, and the tractor rolls forward, the auger hits the truck, and puts a dent in the auger. Great. It still unloads, it just gets super hot in the spot where it's bent. Anyone have any advice for getting a dent out of that tube, once I pull the tube? It's in about 10" from the end of the tube. This summer when we cut wheat, we had 1 very small "issue" per combine (1 had the canvas slat come off, and the other slipped a clutch), and it was a great day. Oh well, these days happen! I just have a longer "to do" list for this winter.

Bent tube is probably hot because of friction....... THANKS for sharing!! How come you didn't get stuck or buried...... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Creston, you need a small dent puller. you can buy one everywhere. You will have to drill a small , 1/8" or less hole into the conveyor tube at the most creased part of the dent, pull the slide weight towards yourself carefully , maybe only once to return tube to close to factory roundness . Clear as mud ? Braze in starter hole, prime, paint, complete.

| Interesting videos Creston. We used to have an old pull combine like that. My father sold it back in the 80s. The guy still has it, I talked to him not long ago. I wouldn't mind finding another one someday. It's good to see someone still running them, most people would consider them obsolete. Thanks for sharing. |
