Carolina Plowboy, First thing you need to do is get the manuals for the machine. Operator manual will give you the know how to get you started AND to understand why the adjustments are necessary. With that said, You need to have 3 pulleys and belts to do corn, beans and wheat. 8 inch for high speed for small grain (Wheat Oats). 11? inch for beans. 20 inch for corn. Gives you 3 speed ranges. Then you adjust the speed in that range to get the best job. You will change the speed as the crop changes during the day. I used the channel concave bars for wheat in positions 1 3 5. One half rounds in beans in 1 and 3. Same in corn, but sometimes added #5. I believe I used the filler bars in corn. Here are my notes for Wheat My notes from the past with my K are as follows Sheave 8" Concaves # 1,3,5 Channel bar Concave Clearence 3/8" Chaffer 3/8" Sieve 5/16" Cyl Speed 7-10 Try 8 to start Wind 5-10 cranks in (I use belt level with edge of pulley)
I normally use the cyl speed to adjust for the dry of the day. 9 or 10 early in day or close to dark. 7 or 8 in middle of the day. If set too high the Wheat will crack.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
