Playing musical chairs with the combine heads today. Pulled the header cart up to the north side of the drive. Grabbed the header trailer with 820 head and staged it to go on the south side of the drive. Plan was to pull the combine out, drop the corn head on the cart, turn around and pull the 820 off the trailer and put the combine back in the shed with the 820 on it. Got that all done and fired up the combine. Slip it into gear and wait for the howl...it has a hydraulic leak I have not been able to find. But no howl. I figured I would have to top off the hydro but I like to make sure everything works first. Not getting a peep out of that pump. Had someone work thru the gears while I stood underneath...nothing visibly moving in any linkage. Got me a little puzzled. Still in accountant mode, need to shift into mechanic mode. I checked the fluid in the reservoir and it has leaked down to the top of the filter. But the pump should still try to come on...just make a racket. It was fine when I put it in there. This thing doesn't have a low fluid shutoff does it? Either that or something has maybe gone askew in the linkage? I have a hard time believing it is a pump issue. It drove in there fine in November.
Thing is, it could be me. I get so fried during busy season that I may be just not shifting it right. But I think I am. Pretty darn certain, in fact. If anyone has any suggestions...appreciated. I hate to take a car hauler to pick up a combine head. They go on fine but getting it off is an issue.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
