 Topic: A couple Deere things
Posted: 30 Apr 2017 at 11:10pm |
Ok, first check this out! Lol!! I know there was some discussion a while back about tractors with single front wheels, and I found this and thought it looked pretty funny.
Also....the main point of this thread....I was looking at Deere 12A's on TractorHouse (They're technically Allis combines  ) and I see one listing had a photo of the cylinder. I notice that the cylinder itself looks almost identical to a All-Crop, only the cylinder bars themselves are different. The Deere has rasp bars, where the All-Crop has the rubber faced bars. This made me wonder again....I wonder if I could get some rasp bars for one of these Deere combines, cut them down shorter, and put them in the Super 100 for some increased capacity? Thoughts? I'd only be using it for wheat and milo, so the advantages of rubber for delicate crops wouldn't be an issue. |

So that's what became of all those B29 landing wheels after the war.

I have several 4020's and 5 3020's some with narrow fronts but that single wheel thing does not do it for me. Would be nice to cultivate with but imagine the shock of dropping that thing in a hole. On the Allis combines my great grandfather had a 66 and cut lots of clover seed and would wear out a set of rasp bars every year. He would go around and cut clover seed on shares for farmers. Tom

Surely they weren't rasp bars? I've heard that was the downfall of the rubber bars; they wear out very quickly. Thinking I might could get around that with the rasp bars.

I would say the all crop would be the same as a larger combine, the cylinder bars are always sold and replaced in pairs (opposite of each other) to maintain a balanced cylinder. Cutting them would affect the balance.

I mean cut them down to fit a 100. The 60/66/72 (and I guess the 12A) have 60" cylinders, but the 100 has a 48" cylinder.

You can balance a cylinder after the bars are installed with washers on the back side of the bar hub. Standard procedure for old IH conventional combines. I have balanced an old 915 once. Trial and error a little time consuming but not too bad except to get at the cylinder descent the throat must be removed on the IH.

We put Crome rasp bars in the JD at the farm they last forever. When we put the blocking plates in every other slot for small grains we also put 6 golf balls inside the cylinder to keep it cleaned out.
