Combines Rotor Sweeps feedback cont

[Rolf]

G'Day Bob As to part numbers and such, check in with Dan on those! My view! Go for new high wire concave and main frame! those bit's are so important thing to have right! having a nice level new arrangement in there will just make it so much nicer and easier to setup. (Set it up dead level and square from the start!) Plus you have the conference that it will not fly apart like the chances of your old one! (It's still cheaper than a new combine!) Depending on how much filler plates are you can whip up your own very easily (ROM is my engineer still here! so he might chime in on thisIJ) With your crops make sure the Acc Rollers are in good nic, other wise you won't keep any of those small grains in! Rock hump will not hurt and easy to get in with out rotor in there. I would do the Feeder house mod and_or posifeed rollers in place of the front and rear feed drums. you could hang a 30 ft front on them R50's and plod along very happly! Dan, We have a few R50_42, around here with 30 ft's on and never heard of any problems! would go better with feeder mods and posi rollers and sweeps!!!! if I could only convince them!! Bob that's my Opinion. Have Fun. Rolf

Your P_N will likely update to latest complete assembly. This would likely get you low narraw wire front of rear half of concave. Since '96 the rear half (frame) has been standard high wide wire hear in the states. I'd order this out of the R52 parts manual. I'd do chrome to help keep things at proper unworn clearances as long as posible. It's a toss up on front concave. For corn I would no doubt go with high wide wire. High wide wire would need bottom mount filler bars for hard to thresh crops. low narrow wire is nice in that you can use top mount filler bars. I'd price the assembly with high wide rear and flip a coin for front half (insert). I'm all for the hump. I think it aids feeding and gives you best ignorable rock portection. You may have to drill a couple of the holes in door to mount hump on that older machine.
