Well,

I went ahead and bit the bullet on this "hurtful" portion of my F2 refab.

Just like Lil' Farmer said, I checked the walker cranks and the front one was sure enough bent; rear was flat wore out.

So anyhoo, I ordered both with bearings and the new wood blocks.

Cranks were $481 a pop. I kinda knew that they were gonna be high, but ouch! It's over, but my lower lip is still trembling. :>(

Good news was that the big separater beater was under $200. Is that 'sposed to make me feel good? :>(

Well Allen, one good thing is you may have at least gotten the short finger corn chaffer in the deal which as you probably know came wired to the left side safety gate when shipped new on the Corn/Soybean specials and I"m guessing as long as the feeder beater doesn"t have any cosmetic damage it will be OK. How about the straw chopper condition? I"m guessing with all the metal that has disappeared from inside it had to meet with those high speed blades and causing a balance issue also make sure you check the cleaning fan condition i.e. blades and bearings. I"ll be quiet now "sorry" I like the challenge but the $$$$$ not so good. GOOD Luck CT

If you want cleaning capacity you want the long finger, square end chaffer.

Well, whatever length they are after further review they sure look the worse for wear. I've never ran edible beans and after looking at this machine I'm not sure I want to. I lost a bearing in the cleaning fan once and fed about have the blades into the chaffer on an L2 once and I thought that was a mess.

Ya just get used to it. Fixin' is part of the turf, part of the game.

At $60-$70 cwt, the darned things have a way of growing on ya. :>)

I know Allen, I'm really envious because I'd love to have something like that but with a tractor already spread out over the shop I'd have to find a corner to sleep in if I brought something like that home and I don't farm anymore so there's no hurry to get it done.
Allen, I think I asked this before but do you have the parts book for this combine? When we had the dealership I was big into parts and man with those part numbers you could zip through it and if you could find several dealers or a dealer that would work with you and you turned in or faxed a parts list to them and let them order on their weekly parts order I think you could save some major bucks and as a dealer I would froth at the mouth if someone turned in a 2K to 3K $$$ parts order I'd call that a skid order and it would have to be shipped by truck so you would be looking at a couple weeks because Allis didn't or doesn't ship direct. The big break is if you could wait for their seasonal order which might be for the spring which is probably due in January. Lilfarmer knows what I'm talking about because I think he said he was dealer about the same time I was. I'm getting long winded again e-mail me sometime mines open. Take care CT

Don't be quiet; I need all the help I can get! :>)

Feeder beater is a mess--worst part of the combine. One hole ripped clear out in the drum. All fingers but one are broken off at the crank. The slip clutch hub is totally wobbled out. Think I gotta find myself a good used one.

The day before the farm sale back in '83, I had yanked the chopper off and installed the slinger from an old '68 F that I had traded in on this F2.

Chopper sold separately, so have absolutely no idea where it went.

However, the '68's straw slinger is still on this machine; one node locked up, but still there. I need all the straw I can get, so will just let it "ride along for the ride". :>)

Allen, the feeder beater is one part of the machine that may be hard to find good used parts for because obviously it catches the most "H" but luckily there are a bunch of those old girls around and I "think" regardless of what year F it is the drum itself is the same it's just the guides that vary but my memory is weak but even the wheat machines have the same drum.

Holy Cow!!! Are you ordering new ones, or is that what salvage yards get? If it's a short shoe, wouldn't that be the same crank as the F? I must have a mint here in the junk pile, with parts Fs.

That darned '77, between the serial number breaks, is all by itself according to the parts man (if I understood him right).

That's one spot I just don't want to gamble on.

Looks like the walkers have already came out of there unannounced at least twice before. I figure if it's set up correctly the first time, it should last quite a long while.

Also, I ordered the new separater beater 'cause I just can't imagine replacing or even working on that jasper after the engine has been set back on the combine, due to it's onery location.

The feeder beater and the thresher beater are the same as an F and after I saw the prices of those honkers, I can sure go with used or just repair what I have. $300 for the drum alone on the feeder beater and $480 for just the paddle assembly on the thresher beater.

I tried to tell you there can be some serious mid model changes that really are big changes so serial numbers are very important usually between wheat and corn season due to problems they find during wheat harvest that they know will definitely cause problems in corn and soybeans.

Yes Sir, for sure.

I've decided to do this, so it's gonna be done right.

Without going completely over the deep end, I want to build it as close to new as possible.

It's gonna cost, but hey! Saves me running to the pool hall. :>)

Well Allen, if it makes you feel any better I've ran a lot of later version machines from IH1460's thru the 1688 the JD 7700 thru the 8820 the AC F thru the N-7 in mostly corn and soybeans never ran a Massey but believe me they all have their own set of problems. I guess I like the Gleaner the best because it is easy to work on and it is an operator's machine.CT
