Combines 1480 disrupter kit installation or not

If you get up in the engine area on the rear,raise the cover and crawl down in the exposed area.Just above the rotor drive driven pulley that you grease every 10 hrs,you can remove the cover that is held with 4 small bolts.Remove the cover and this exposes the rear of the rotor.You then will the bolts that hold the rear bars on to the rotor.While up in this area clean out the area down at the bottom just in front of the gearcase.You may find alot of buildup there. I have found this area to be a place where fires can strart.BEST WISHES and I hope this helps.

I have been using the disrupters on a 1460 for three years. The back bolts of the separator bars are installed thru the acess cover behind the rotor drive pulley in the engine compartment. The disrupters do not overload the shoe. They will do an adequate job of breaking dry straw in small grain and beans and will also help in flipping over corn husks that try to carry out kernels of corn thru the rotor. I also installed a spreader kit to more evenly distribute the chaff and straw. It extends one shaft lower on the spinners to catch the heavy chaff and replaces the belts on them with wider solid fins to catch more of it, then a smaller 10 inch drive pulley is used to speed up the whole spreader. I still use the large pulley for corn. If you have the conventional rotor. Remove the short rotor bars between the long ones and run with out them. It will eliminate the rumble. I also have been using the large wire concaves for small grain and corn with the front 1 1_2 covered. It works well.

We put disrupters in our 1480 but didn't bother with the toothed bars. I beleive it was Mr. Gordon who said you really didn't need them. We run 1480 rice w_ 2 cover plates in beans, milo, corn. The one thing I don't like about the disrupters is that it definately DOES put more material down on the shoe. I had a hard time getting a clean sample in Soybeans after we put them in. I installed a Hillco fan kit late in the season and that helped tremendously. If Marvin still has any available I would reccomend them. We also put on the heavy duty(curved steel paddle) spinners like the 2388's have on our 80 last year. That probably would make more difference for no-tilling beans than putting the disrupters in. It greatly improved spreading in tough beans but created some problems in Milo by throwing some trash back into the combine. I wonder if slowing the spinners down there would helpIJ Chads
