Combines lenght of sieves

[lee]

No sorry you dont have long shoes in your machine, They didnt come around till mid 91 in all machines and these machines had Cummins engines on them I believe all 1680 machines had long shoes in 1990 models but others didnt come around till last of 60 series right before the 66 series came out

I'm not sure where youre located but here in the UK some combines were fitted with a kit that extended the sieves, it did help with cleaning but imposed extra load on the hangers and bushes. From what i can remember it did have a short extension piece in the front. DGJ

Size of bottom sieve for extended shoe is 45.20" X 65.00" and size of chaffer is 45.00" X 74.88" It's likely that your machine has been converted to the long shoe. To check for sure call Greg at Will Mfg. at (785) 935-2304 email gwill@holtonks.net he builds airfoil chaffers. hope this helps

Explain something else. How come some of the long shoe top chaffers for the 60 and 80 series have two adjustment handles and some have three. When and where did that change come aboutIJ

In fact, my top chaffer has two adjustment handles, but I have noticed that separate, front section of chaffer also had possibility of adjustment, but there is no clue of third handle left (for that section of chaffer) at the rear.

By having a third handle to adjust the front section of the sieve, the Case engineers thought some users were incorrectly adjusting the front section and were causing themselves some problems. To prevent this, they removed the third handle. If you look under the sieve, there is a small rod connecting the front section to the middle section. A couple years later, the third handle was added back again, so customers could adjust their sieves however they wanted to.
