Combines Coon In Engine Compartment

sure hope the humane society or some tree hugger doesn't get wind of that

Had a dealer in South Central Neb. tell me that the same thing happened except it was a cat. Approx. 5,000 in parts and labor. Would insurance coverIJ

Hey were you at the Pro Harvest breakfast in Frederick last week. We are south of Frederick cutting at Oklaunion maybe we could get to together for a vist let me know. Thanks

Been there twice, and have been very fortunate each time with no damage and just lots of stink left over. Each time we (being Dad or I, one in the cab, the other some distance away) heard one heck of a scream, lots of thunking, then the following string of cuss words followed by who happened to be in the cab (chaulk one up for each of us). Behind the combine we found all the guts, then wrapped around the fan we found a nicely skinned coon fur, with no damage to the radiator or fan blades. How each of us missed a dang coon in there while checking oil we'll never know.

Had them in the seprator and blew them out in pieces but never had them in the engine area i usually left a shield off so if they did get in they could get out seems to work ok just have to blow crap out before i crawl in to service

Hey Big Al, I sent my crew to the ProHarvest breakfast. I was still repairing coon damage that morning. I would sure like to meet you. We are at the Willow Creek Mobile Home village in Frederick. It is two blocks east of swimming pool. With all this wet weather it would sure help pass the time.
