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 - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
