Combines Hyper an EIJ

I working on the statement 'the FACT that you are PROBABlY nuts....'.....a fact is a proven, known condition.... 'probably' is an unknown degree of statistical event conclusion %. I'm still thinking ..... as to a hobby hyping an E,,,,they make great deere stands..... do you not like wood working, or campfire cooking ......the wooden slats and fan paddles make great wood stock and fire starters...^)

OK, so I AM nuts. That should clear that up. I do plan on shelling some corn with this thing, so lets not start the slat and paddle fire just yet. Seriously, if I do any mods, it's going to be cylinder_concave bars, the chaffer_sieve, take the Scour-Kleen off and put an overbin loader on (I might be able to get those parts for free) and bin extensions. As far as a deer (DeereIJ) stand is concerned, well, it could serve as a working combine and mobile deer stand. Put some railings on top of the cab and a ladder up the side, maybe a bench. Wouldn't be the first time whitetails were shot from a cab roof in corn . . . .

Wide spaced cylinder bars are a must, unless you always do small grains. Steel slat raddle chain would be next. Walker screens have to be in for corn. Machine down the pulley on engine flywheel so you can increase engine speed to 2,000 to 2,050 rpm and still have machine speeds correct. Block the space between sieve and grain pan (not floor) with foam or belting to force the air up thru the sieve and chaffer. Make sure both fans have spiders installed so they PUSH the fan blades not pull. This oughta keep you busy for a while.

on the wood raddle you MUST run the cob shield if you put any whole cobs through the cylinder , just a reminder... other wise the kindling thing will be a possibility

Don't know if the cob shield is in there or not . . . last thing this E did was soybeans. I might have to go scavenge a Z-bar chain off a junker K.

you have to change the floor and sprockets as well!

This combine came with a corn head that shows use, so maybe the cob shield is still in there or is in the pile of extra parts I still have to get out of his shed. What if I made slats out of heavy-wall steel tube exact same dimensions as the wood slatsIJ Or maybe it's easier to make a cob shield. This machine isn't going to be the main one on the farm, I just didn't want to see the little bugger go for scrap, figured I could tinker with it in my spare time (as if I don't have anything to do!).

find the cob shield.
