Combines CYlINDER SPEED ON F2

[OKFarmer]

Very common problem. Chain is rusty between where shaft wih crank exits the cab and the sheaves down below. Take it off and soak in diesel for 24 hours. If your cutting and don't have that kind of time, go buy a new one. I think it is 249 link chain. AGCO price is $38.something. We repacked pivot bearings this year before harvest and put in new seals. The seals in combination with a new chain made everything want to spin too well. So, we had to put a loop of small rope over crank to keep from turing it was so free. Hope this helps! OKfarmer

And don't you have to pull out on the handle on the F-2 to unlock it. I think mine is that way. Bad Memory. I have also had the chain to almost come off of the top sprocket. When this happens it sometimes gets into a bind and you can't turn it.
