The corn has been done for a while & I wanted to see if the chopper is set correctly. Think the blower band needs to be adjusted in a touch. Or it could be the 6 in. of band that's missing below the spout. The ticking you hear is the top of the worn off band. It has a small tab on the end that just sticks out far enough to contact the paddles. It's at a spot in the blower that is opposite the opening & pretty much in line with the flywheel shaft. The job of changing that band out will have to wait. It doesn't just roll out of there on the paddles. Waaaaaay too much rust involved! The flywheel has to get pulled & then the band can come out. That would be an easy job if a bunch of the parts weren't held together by old grease & silage crud. That stuff is like scraping off cold tar.... & heat doesn't help. That combo also creates some kind of super rust that holds the U joints tight to the shafts. Might even be stronger than a weld.
There will be a couple more videos of this chopper coming up, for anyone who might be interested. One of which will be chopping corn with the one row head. Wouldn't mind finding a 2RW head for it. Put the 560 through it's paces. The 806 probably wouldn't know it's back there.
