no harvest yet %$%^$%$

been waiting 3-1/2 weeks for IH to come fix my combine....maybe this week!!   pffft!

Just about done. The L2 pick 1400 arces of corn.

You need to remind them Holloween is coming up....if'n you know what I mean.

tried cutting some beans wed. stil to wet 17.5% thay should be making 50+ but it looks like 20 may catch it. just to hot and dry this year.

i high/low gear case went out on the rotor....it's a ^&%^&%$ to change....that why i'm having IH do it, they know what/how to do it, i don't!

Go to a combine scrap year and purchased the complete gear box to fix yours.

WOW!

Gosh,, back in the day around here( S. Wisc.) nobody ever started to combine before Oct. 15. If you did start early back then your neighbor's would stop by and ask if you needed help getting to the institution.

 I know a few that have pushed it to get their corn out but this year is a little different. My neighbor has been taking corn out for the last 2 1/2 weeks at 15% moisture. Hard to not want to get it out when it doesn't need drying. He even has all his beans out and hauled to town.

dunno Slade....only was able to find a few, when i found alot of them, i called on them, and those places didn't have them even tho they advertised them! i'm running a 1440 right now, down from the 1460 i was running, gonna take the box off the 1460 as they are the same box. i see there's a 1440 near here for sale, for 1/2 the price of a used gear box, and with about 1/2 less hours than the combine i'm using now! gonna go look at it today! it's been a month now since i made the wasted appointment with the IH dealership! i know...i'm not the biggest farmer they service....but they did make the appointment....and then delayed it! PFFFT! when i was over there last week, they had (2) new machines apart all over the floor! doesn't look to me like they are field testing new stuff anymore! just building them and say'in..."yep...that ouata work"

thanks GM....i'll look them up! i dropped MoValley Impl today, contacted Titan Machinnery, they sent a truck to pick up my combine right away...went back in the shed to get it...you think that damn thing would start??? NOOOOOO!!!! it started right up the other day when i was out there! PFFFT!!  they said they'd come back when i get it started...so that's what i'm doing this afternoon!

well...i was out most of the afternoon unplugging the combine that Titan told me they'd charge me $80.00 an hour to do before they pull the rotor!!  went up in the cab to cut away some of the cab kit that the mice had fun with over the winter! they even chewed up the fabric softener sheets i had in there, and the seat! pfffft! for some reason....i hit the key on the combine....and it started right up!!! good thing i had taken the hammer out of the cab earlier!! now i'll call them back in the morning....after i start it, drive it to the highway and leave it running til they get here!  and i'll bet the Capt has great high beams for driving at night on that lear!! be safe ya'll!

Wells Implement in Plymouth Nebraska has an L Gleaner.  Grandpas dealer, and my Dad wrenched for them in the early 60s

well...Titan machine just returned my combine this mornin.....ooops...yesterday mornin now...and now it's raining!!! guess it'll give me time to clean the cab and a wanna add a hard grain tank cover of some sort...so this will give me time to fabricate something and i can get my screening equipment set up! i haven't gots the bill yet, or even know what they did to it yet! i'll drive over Monday and see!
