That kind of repair is certainly well earned in the heat and humidity while in standing corn. Why is it that machines like these always seem to have a serious mechanical failure in places like that ? I'll bet there are even worse places and conditions. Like a crawler throwing a track while in a turn on a hillside in mud. Not something you can walk away from, best to get after it right away like you did, whenever possible.
Long time farmer friend had a bearing overheat in his 6620 combine during harvest, back side of a field, down hill, against a hedgerow and marsh like area. Tough one to get to. They were able to quell it before a fire got out of hand, apparently this grease fitting was not known about and he had this 6620 for many years, so not really sure what happened. With him overseeing, due to health issues, I used to thoroughly grease this combine, even repaired the header auger, put all new sections on the sickle bar, guard extensions for downed oats. I thought it was well taken care of and we left it ready for corn after oats. Apparently under the operator station, there is a fitting that often gets missed. Recall he had all the books, but that was an expensive repair, thankfully he did not lose the combine to fire.
That is something, high enough clearance to apply at such height, should definitely pay off. I rode with a person running a late model JD sprayer on all the fields he planted in 2009, about 300 acres worth. This thing was amazing and I have photos somewhere, one of the little car I used to drive, parked right underneath it, drove it under to get the shot. That thing had no suspension, remember how it handled when going over a ditch. Seemed like you could run in corn until it was pretty high, thinking about this now.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. 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
