  This was a couple weeks ago running beans. The Trimpe bars are a huge improvement. You can see the difference in the modified rebuilt bars and the originals. I can’t speak to how it would have done before on beans because this was my first time ever running beans. He told me that it probably would be fine slowing the cylinder down a bit so I was still running the corn sprocket with the variable speed wide open. It did the trick, no more ground up beans, and ran pretty clean. I did put the corn head back on it and took it to the CAPOOT picking day and it did an excellent job on corn. Whole cobs out the back, no trash in the bin, and no corn out the back. The speed limitation was not engine power or separator capacity, it was the snapping rolls. I could run in 2nd and about 1/3 open on the variable speed before the right side would bunch up, the left would let me run wide open on the variable speed. I’ll have the spirals built up and maybe new blades on the rolls for next year. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| Do you have the clips that bolt to the top of the snapping rolls. New ones make a great difference feeding the stalks thru the rolls. |

Warning on changing blades on old orange flat chain heads. The blocks are ALUMINUM!!!! and fine thread. Easy to be "one and done". I have a few new blades I didn't install. 2 boxes...maybe 8 pieces? You can have them for shipping. I would leave well enough alone and weld edges up. Next best is have new steel blocks made. I learned why some of my blades were welded to each other. Just saying be careful with what you do.
My A2 bars were like that. I ran a 1/2 bead in the center twice then welded full rib with hard surface. Did every other rib like the Trimpe's and let the others to wear. Did 80A for 19yrs.

| the blades I'm referring to are behind the spiral snouts. I would suppose you can weld in place. Try to get a good ground on the point? so no silly stray current tries to mess with the bearings at back. |

| You was grinding beans because cylinder had been run too hi, which wore crown off bars to where was no angle to pull material through. Which will happen to new ones if they are ran hi. MACK |
