August 15-21


I'm heating up the drum speed adjustment crank on our model 72 combine. The drum is the first step in the threshing process (removing the grain from the plant). The drum speed can be adjusted depending on the crop being harvested.


Success! The crank turns.


I also noticed that the rattles, the part the bring the grain up into the combine had jumped off their cog and bent the mounting bracket.

That meant I had to take out the part and replace it.


Finally got the old part out.


Luckily we have a parts combine. The damaged part is in back.


Getting things put back together.
