Quit replacing till you figure out why they are breaking. :)

Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine.
If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.

Shameless, Call my dad at 989-574-8301.
Clipping some weedy dry beans so far this year. First time the straw chopper couldnt keep up and weeds/beans wrapped around it plugging up the whole rear before my uncle noticed and stopped. Of course bending cranks.
Put it back together, this time the straw chopper was spinning free and clear but the beans(this time less weeds) failed to fall down into the chopper wadding up above the chopper which plugged the whole rear before my uncle noticed again.
Honestly, a bit puzzled. We have 3 of these combines working and each of them technically run a bit different adjustments back there. We didnt change anything back there for this year but all a sudden got these issues.

so I take it you don't have the little tattle tale back there that tells you when you are plugged up? what size header are you using? I can't imagine plugging up a "G" combine as wide as they are and their capacity! and it takes ALOT to bend one of those cranks!

For some reason G's will do this. My dad and I piled one up straight cutting, there was very large kochia plants sporadically in the field, very green. No lever monitor in the back end. By the time I said there is nothing coming out the back, too late, BANG. It was packed tight like a bale, it ripped the drive shaft right out of the side of the frame. Took two days to fix, a neighbor dropped by to visit, he stayed the whole two days and helped us enormously, his name is Bill Gilmour, he still farms. Even my 90 year old grandpa was helping, he was cutting the paper shims for the blocks...Bent the cranks bad, had a very hard time cleaning the back out. We put a paddle monitor in the back after that. I'm sure you could still find one and rig it up. Trev.

If the chopper knives are worn out it will do this. It will not pull trash into chopper.
