| How are the idlers down front? My old K2 did similar things once and awhile until I quit greasing the slip clutch so often. |

| Check out Mack's advice. They wear thin and crack then catch raddle bars. |

| don't grease slip cluches. Ours get one shot of grease before they go to the field each season. that's it. |

| I used to have tons of trouble with my raddle in corn until I replaced the front sprockets and opened up the concave so I have whole cobs coming out the back. It rarely happens now. |

| Good idea to pull the front cover off raddle and clean all the trash out after harvest.Keeps from collecting moisture and rusting out cover. |

| I went to adjust the raddle on my K2 once and pulled that bottom cover off, my idlers were whipped. How that chain never ended up destroyed or in a wad was simply amazing, I replaced them and went back to work, very fortunate. |

At the end of a season - or beginning of a new season, take the front raddle cover off. Run the combine at full throttle with separator clutch engaged. Watch the raddle run for tracking straight, idlers turning, & slack. Adjust idlers to even tracking straight, etc.. Also check the rear drive sprockets for wear. Like others already said, take the front cover off at end of season & place it in the cab. That way, you will have to do what I mentioned above before running it. Just a good practice. To me, replacing a gleaner E, K, K2, F, F2, or F3 raddle chanin and/or its false floor is the worse possible repair job on these machines.
