If you would find that the fast speed works but would like something inbetween fast and slow. You can use an alternate belt to install belt on fast groove up front and slow groove in the back. This will give you medium speed. We've installed a few pulleys to create the super fast feeder speed (likely same pulley that Gleaner has in their speed up kit). That pulley and belt come from the middle 90's lTM system. We found the super fast speed was not needed much so then we just slide belt over on front pulley and slot bracket that holds shield so belt can be tentioned and not run into anything. This gave us a three speed without changing pulley or belt. The small groove on front pulley is same size as large groove on old pulley so the medium speed was the same as old high speed. Did that make any sense. I'd also like to ask Kurt if he has the hood over feeder and auger to prevent throwing cobs out thereIJ Does machine have lTM and is chain moved ahead as far a possibleIJ Have you tried running drum stops in grain position to gain room under drumIJ Any chance cobs are coming back out top of chain where it isn't making transition to rear chainIJ Floor mod would sure help prevent this. Might try running rear blocks in grain position also unless you have in corn with top blocks trimmed to allow just as much lift as when in grain position.

Yes I have the hood over feeder, it only took about 5 acres to realize this should of been standard equipment as the corn ears were flying staight up 5-8 foot in the air. I'm running a 75 with the smaller front drum chain moved as far foward as possible I also run rear drums up. I should try trimming the blocks to get the drum higher. I was about to try the floor mod. of NDDAN on my 72 when we traded for the 75 and just wasn't able to bring myself to cutting up a new combine, but maybe I will need to try that for next year. You asked if I have lTM, do you mean laterial TiltIJ Yes I do if that is what you meant. I know this creates move gap between chain and cross auger, but I sure like the tilt, hard to give that up. I sure thank everyone for there suggestions. Kurt
