Combines R62 air conditionimg

[NowGleaner7]

Check that the heater core or ref. core is not plugged with dirt, etc. This may be your air problem.

The r62 is not a high flow system, but will cool. As stated if you pull down the system you will find either an air leak in the ductwork, which can and should be sealed with silicone in the joints, or your evaporator and heater core is plugged. We have also seen fan assys installed reversed. We also remove the high speed wire from the fan motor and run it to an added relay with n10 wires to batt and use this wire as a trigger wire for the relay instead of power to the motor. Thus the motor gets full voltage and does not have the voltage drop due to compressor coil. Picks it up about 10+ % we guess. There are many outlets, if you want more volume on the noggin shut some off. A neat trick is to place a correct sized styrofoam box under the shotguners seat and cut a hole to allow the duct to blow into it - thus an onboard fridge for your non alcoholic beverages and the like - of course on the other hand,,,,,

I feel your pain. Most dissapointing part of the machine. It's surely not rocket science to make a cab cool. If it is then AGCO needs to hire rocket scientists. It's embarrasing to have someone ride along in a cab that uncomfortable. I installed a small ocillating fan to the top right of the cab to move more air. That helps but today it was still in the upper 80's for air temp in there. Around 100 outside. You know, you can tolerate a lot of problems as long as your cool but it don't take much to get a person steamed if your already hot. Something for the engineers to consider.

Depending on the year, the earlier R62's had smaller outlets and hoses out of the fan box to the pillars and cab outlets. We cut out the tubes in the fan box and installed larger hoses to get more airflow. Top of the cab was painted a highly reflective glossy white which definitely helped particularly as it only took a few minutes and dollars. Side windows and door got the sun shade material that is often used in vechiles windows and windscreens to lower temps inside. As Tbran says and we have done; install heavy relays, 3 of, one for each speed, in our case under the cab with a heavy lead to the battery and use the cab switch to trip the appropriate relay for the fan speed. Makes quite a difference. If a piston compressor and a Cummins, there is a flange on the engine _ combine drive pulley which on the duetz is used to drive the compressor. We got a V belt groove machined in the flange and shifted our compressor to this location to the left rear of the engine. This will lower compressor head temps compared to the position just behind the radiator and also makes for a lot easier maintenance. Check that your heater hoses are right off at the engine. We removed the heater coil in the fan box to allow more air flow through the cooling coil. Still a long way from doing drastic surgery to brass monkeys but a big improvement over all.

they did , problem we had with early 5 series was how not to freeze the operator. They had to go back to a thermostat that shut the compressor off.

Your right tbran. Trouble hear is things did improve over the years. I'm not saying the guys wouldn't like more air in the face feeling. I think the volume of cool air that gets in cab is good as long as fan is installed properly and filters or cores are not plugged. Early R62s are not the same as late R62s and certainly not the same as R65s that came out over 6 years ago. I found this post where they claim 40% more air in cab sometime in '98. I don't think that is when they added the relay for high speed for I believe that came a bit latter for further improvement providing things are clean and properly assembled.

I see in one spot he has '96 R72 still rated at 300hp where it should read 330hp. I'll see if he can update this. Anyone see where we need to make a correction please let us know. I'm going to buzz threw school books to see if there is any added info that might be of interest to you guys. '92: Intro of series 2 rotary. This was sometimes called the Fat 50 project. This being a wider larger R50 that had been out and proven for a few years. Drives simplified to copy the 50s as well as top drives for the elevators were retained. Replacement machines for 50s eventially adopted similiar top drives as 62-72s. Taper lock elevator sprockets were amoung the many improvements. You will note the HP increase approx mid season at our website. '93: 70th anneiversary. 20% faster feeder chains. 557 feeder chain replaces lighter 550. This is likely when tail end of front feed was lengthened by two inches (this wasn't good for feeding and has been addressed with our feeder floor kits). Clean grain capacity increased by 27%. '94: wide spaced cylinder bars standard (3_4"). Feeder shafts increased to 1 3_4". False floor factory installed for front feed. '95: High wide wire top (rear) thresher concave. High wide wire bottom (front) thresher concave for corn soybean machines. Rear feed tention arms strengthened. larger right hand mainshaft bearing. Field installed dual spreader option. larger engine air intake prescreen and larger air cleaner on air cooled machines as used in previous year liquid machines and a few air cooled machines. 7 MPH second gear installed approx mid '94. larger heavier 130amp alternator installed approx mid '94. '96: Custom harvester cylinder option of narrow rasp (1_2") over concave and wide rasp (3_4") over seperator. longer shoe. Eliminated lens covers for cab lights. Single long flat slat feeder chain. Power steering priority valve changed to allow smoother steering while some other function is operated. Hydrostat pump and motor now separate assemblies. '97: Adjustable seperator grate. Stone trap offered. Feed stripper arrows (these could of been installed on some machines) removed from bottom of square tube in front feed and no longer recommended to be installed for any crop. Hump kit offered for rock door to make it more responsive to rocks and aid feed to cylinder (hump kit recommended in place of the optional 1"X1" square bar that could of been installed to help door respond to rocks). '98: 75th anniversary. Painted. Heavier corn varible. Heavier header clutch belt approx mid '98. Turret unloader option. Smartrac lateral Tilt system and Fieldstar optional. Dual flat slat feeder chains approx mid '97. Shim adjustable feeder hooks to level head on non-lTM machines instead of tilting feeder accordingly. Feed chain drum shock absorbers and campaigned to put on all '97s. Faster seperator fan and to be installed back to first long shoes in '96. More flighting added to bin fill auger to reduce loads approx mid '97. Heavier final drives switched up to six bolt in place of five. Dextron hydralic oil replaced with improved common hydralic systems oil of the day. Tach module changed to allow KPH calibration. High wide wire adjustable seperator grates offered. longer cylinder bars extended to discharge area available option. 6 inch taller radiator for R62s approx mid '98. Approx 40% increase in cab air flow in mid '98. '99: Electric concave adjust option. Easy close stone door option. Factory installed dual spreader option. W-ring guides for feed chains and campaigned to be put on some earlier machines. Heavier turret unload gearbox mount bolts late '98. New lower restriction rotary screen windmill blade late '98. Higher capacity engine fan blade 62s. Radiator on 72 redesigned to allow bigger material to flow threw late '98. larger shaft and bearing for engine PTO shaft. Steering axle stabilizer pad option. Sanden air conditioner compressors. '00: 285hp electronic QSC Cummins for 62. Rotary screen performance package and kit for older machines. Seperator clutch brusholder wire portection package and kit for older machines. '01: Remote easily greasable cylinder gearbox zirk. Extended cylinder bars to discharge now standard. Optional 14" swivel unloading auger. Hydralic drive spreader option. Hydralic chaff spreader option. Rotary screen saw tooth blades widened. '02: last year of 2 series. I do not have this info with me so I will search out and note changes or improvements if significant. I tried to make this as accurate as posible and is in addition to info allready on our website. There are many more less significant changes or changes I didn't see necesary to bore you with that took place over the 10 years of the large body 2 series production. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
