To put the rotor back in i have found that it will go up the tube quite easily if all the grates are in and at the same level . I take the cover at the back of the rotor above where the splined shaft for the gearbox is and put a chain on the kickout bar to pull and lift the rear of the rotor as it is going in and to lift the back end to get it on the splines .

I remember changing a rotor on a 1460 many years ago. That was fun🤣

Awe man! So close yet so far. Better now than in the middle of harvest I guess. Doc

Хороший у тебя гараж 👍🏻

Also dont forget on that front rotor bearing it has that piece of metal that cleans around the bearing that broke off on mine and caused bearing failures more often.

Forget spending so much on those newer combines you were looking at and get a nice 1996 or newer R62. Rotor cages on those are heavier than case and if you need to pull the rotor it's real easy to do. There are a lot of other things heavier on the Gleaner than the other colors too of that era. Frame, augers, sprockets in key areas are chrome alloy along with the rasp bars and rotor vanes. You can just harvest more grain before the expensive stuff starts going. There can be some easy cheap improvements made to an R62 that really increases capacity too.

Any advice for buying used 1660-1680? What to watch for, what would be most common stuff to wear off and expensive to fix? I live in south-east Europe and there is not so many of them here, not popular, but I like them, they look much simpler build then Claas and John deere equivalent combines.

Hi dirt grain and steel, I was wondering how you got the plate off the bearing housing first? I’ve got my rotor pulled and I left the cross member on to remove it. The three bolts would spin and I couldn’t get the nuts off but wondered if I should put the new on installed when I put the rotor back in. Thank you very much for the video has really helped me.

Never seen it before. Still learning.

If you leave the header on the feeder house you can remove all of it by just using one jack on the big bar at the bottom of the feeder house ( where the floor jack is in the vid ). Then just back the combine away then tie up the cylinders and you are off to the races . Let the cylinders slide on a piece of plywood when hooking back up .

And if you could do a video of how a case ih 1660 combine woods and how the corn head and soybean head works as well?

That’s ok, where all did you try to mount the camera? And what all did you attempt to try to film?

All too familiar here! We welded ours up the hard way, don't have the help to pull the rotor. Will need to soon any way as some of those spiral vanes need attention.

Do you can still mount your GoPro inside the feederhouse and in where the rotor and concaves and chaffer and sieves and chopper and spreaders are and on top of the grain tank and on the unloading auger on the 1660 to get some video of all of that stuff in action before you guys are done with harvest? And on the corn head and soybean head of the 1660?

I really really love your videos so very much and i have every single one of your videos and all of your videos are just such great videos and I was wanting to know if you could start doing so more farming simulator 19 videos when you get time?

Have you got it figured out yet how your going to get some GoPro shots of all of that stuff inside of the feederhouse and the combine? And have you tried getting the GoPro shots of all of that stuff inside of the feederhouse and the combine yet?

Nothin'"Case" about that combine except the decals huh guys?Great job I enjoyed!

I was wanting to know if you could try mounting your camera inside the feederhouse, in where the rotor and concaves and chaffer and sieves and chopper and spreaders and tailings elevator and both clean grain elevators are on the 1660 and on the corn head and soybean and on the auger of the 1660 to get some video of all of that stuff in action?

Just curious, did you guys weld the cage back together or replace it? If you welded, how did it last? If you replaced it, how do you reach all the bolts on the elevator side of the machine? Tomorrow I'm going to be doing some welding on my cage. Wondering if that will be temporary or if it will last. If it's temporary, I'm just trying to figure out how to reach all the bolts. My guess is remove left cage first, climb inside the rotor area to reach all the bolts for the right side. Thanks for any suggestions.

I was also wanting to know if you could take and send me some pictures of the feederhouse chain and drum, the rotor and concaves, the chaffer and sieves, the spreaders and chopper, the tailings elevator and both clean grain elevators, the inside of the grain tank on the 1660? And the inside and outside of the 1660 with both the corn head and soybean head hooked up to it as well? And if you could send the pictures to me either here in the comments or on Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram or any social media that you have? And what social media do you have that you could send the pictures to me on or can you just send them to me here in the comments?

Good thing it is raining now

How do you put the rotator back into the shaft with out braking something

I'm amazed...how to remove a rotor on a 1660...without taking it to IH/CASE dealer shop. Wonder what the shop total hour rate repair bill would have been?

Instead of fighting those big bolts/nuts holding the beater to the combine why not use pins like the ones holding the feederhouse on? Much faster to pop out.

I'm confused. What is the guys name that is with you most of the time? It sounds like you call him dad ???? He doesn't look that old.

Why didn’t you change the rotor out for a specialty rotor or an AFX rotor. Lots of them in the junk yards. Extra capacity and fuel savings would pay for it. It would make it more like a 1688

Thats not how the ih manuel describes how to do that.

Just get a 9120 and get it over with
