Combines cylinder adjusting cranks

KandM in Renville MN made them but they stopped production several years ago. Have you thought of making the chain idler on the lH side of the feeder house spring-loaded instead of fixedIJ That would be a big time saver too. Tom in MN

Do you have these modifications on yours Tom, and how well do they workIJDo you think a person might still be able to find a pair and how much do they costIJ

Somebody else was looking for the cranks 2-3 years ago on this board but I dont remember if he gave up or found them. You can call KandM in case they have any. 800-992-1702 My son decided it was time to get a combine with a feed reverser so we bought an R60, 6 years ago. That was a good move. But if I ever go back to an l_M series, I will do something to make cylinder adjusting easier if I have to make cranks myself. Dont overlook the chain tightener. Having to readjust it every time you move the cylinder is more than a real pain. Tom
