WOW, there is a lot going on with those machines. Interesting how many parts have to play together to make it operate. Much respect for your knowledge and great explanation of its design and operation. Enjoy your weekend, work safe! Doug@ the "ranch"

Thanks Doug! Haven't heard from you in a while, hope everyone is safe! I'm just starting to get the machine wiped into condition for harvest! Usually takes about a week to get the maintenance repairs do for the year! Thanks again

You can test the antifreeze to see if the additives are up to par. The filter adds an additive that coats the cylinder wall so cavitation doesn't occur. You can also just buy the coolant with the additive in it and test it every so often. Hopefully someone kept it up to par. I sure prefer the 426 in my L2... the oil filters are on the other side.

It's that time of year again where I start giving a lot of thought to what's it going to take to crank that 3300 up this year. Yeah the first night I was working on those wheel Forks it was still 80 degrees at about 11 p.m. and I was wet with sweat because it was so humid.

If you can get a part number off of the sensor for the fuel filter you can probably cross reference it and find one pretty cheap. My grandfather had the same issue and they wanted$230 for the damn thing. But I googled the number and found it was used for a few different things. There was an original for about a hundred bucks and a aftermarket for$45. We put the cheap one on since it was something we always changed and keep an eye on, but it's been working fine for 5 years or so now....... I'm not a fan of aftermarket parts but for some stuff that's not critical I'll run them. But you can usually get the OEM parts from the original manufacturer for a lot less by looking them up on Google. I know time is money sometimes but if it's not harvest time you can save quite a bit.

Yeah thanks I haven't tried that! I first got the machine I was concerned about it and checked it out changed the filter now I don't worry about it much!

@@cesmith4566 it really pays to look. Years ago a good parts man knew what crossed over but those guys are long gone. But if you don't need something like yesterday or need to save a few bucks it really pays off to dig around sometimes. A lot of the time it'll come up with just the part number in google.

Don't know about the F series but the M and L series went a different cylinder speed design in about 1978 and a pulley change was no longer needed. You would be very happy with an M2. Don't get me wrong the F series was a top notch machine and oodles of them were sold.

First cabbed combine with air-conditioning I was ever in was an F. Belonged to an old boy we worked back and forth with.. we had a round back C2 at the time, with an aftermarket cab, no AC.. Traded it for a 1978?? M in 1981.. Mt. St. Helens Ash pretty much wiped out the old C2.. the M was never run in it👍
@SilverGleaner3 жыл бұрын
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I've always been told the C2 was a pretty good combine but the G that replaced it was a monster for the time. My uncle had a G with 350 chevy. He never had anything major go wrong with it. I grew up on an E, and the first combine I owned on my own was a 1967 E. We did about 300 acres a year with it and I replaced two bearings I still have it and don't have the heart to sell it.and a feeder beater shaft in the 10 years we ran it.

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Yep. My L2 was a good machine and could keep pace with my buddy's 1660 once I figured out a couple things on it. Once I leveled and calibrated the cylinder clearance and added a couple springs to the feeder beater clutch she woke up nicely in green stem soybeans. Also had widespaced bars and that was a plus. In 200 bushel corn 4.5 mph on flat ground under 18% was normal with a 6 x 30 head. Still have that too and waiting for a market turnaround before sell it..
