It took about a week to get all the parts gathered together and put in. The repair video will be next. I like going to the ther elevator for corn because you can dump 2 wagons at the same time. That is pretty cool seeing 2 wagons going. Thanks for being here and commenting.
I have the same problem in my 4400, Everything running smooth and quiet then it started tapping and got real loud quick and I shut it down. Took about 5 minuets to figure it out but it broke the upper shaker frame and tore up the upper sieve. Good thing I have a parts combine sitting there to get parts off of, JD is mighty proud of those rubber bushings but what else can you do. Braking those 50 year old doubled up nuts is fun ! LOL Bandit
I don't know what those isolators cost today. I bought them about 5 years ago to replace them on the 6600 but they were all good. This 6620 had several replace 2 years ago, and the guy gave me the leftover ones. They were like $6 back then. I have it all fixed now. But I did have to wait for about a week for the spacer to come in. It does sound a lot better now.
@@TAHDAHFarm I looked them up from JD and there $7.14 each now so there all going to be replaced. If I got to take it all apart I'll replace all of them top and bottom cause I dont want to have to do this again. I'm just glad I had things apart before when I put the new belts on cause several had to come back off as well as a couple of pullies just to get to the drive side to take it apart. There sure aint a lot of room to work behind the fuel tank thats for sure ! As Ross the Oliver man would say The fatness kind of gets in the way ! LOL Its bad enough to have to take one apart but I get to do it twice cause I got to take the one out of the parts machine so I get to have double the fun ! LOL But this is sure cheaper to do than making payments on a new one ! Bandit
I just looked it up to compare prices. Koenig in Anna has them for $7.89 and an alternative part for $5.08. I will say that these are a lot easier to replace and get to on the 6620 than either of my 6600s. You are correct about getting behind the fuel tank. However, the 6620 is about a foot farther back. You will be able to see what I'm talking about in my next video on the repair.
@@TAHDAHFarm On the 4400 its a real pain to get the chopper drive belt on or off, There is about 1/2" between the pulley and fuel tank so it makes those belts hard to get to. Working on the old 95 is so much easer than the 4400 but the 4400 does a good job and is so low hour I got to fix it but its a pain to work on. I've worked on a couple of 6600's and there a lot easer being there taller and I really think I need a hard hat on to work on the 4400 cause there's a lot of pointy thing under those side panels to bump into ! I havent ordered any parts yet but I'll get them for mother deere simply because there are some things after market might not be as good as OEM. A couple of the arms are worn thin on one side so I'll have to press the bushings out and look at them closely and pray the ones on the parts combine are good cause I'm not paying $300 apiece for new ones ! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get that frame out thats busted and get the other one in and I still have to get the chopper off so I can get the frame out of it. Sometimes its hard to be a one man show ! LOL Bandit
I understand the one man band. I had to wait several times for my son or daughter to help pull something out or put something back in. At one point, I had my son on 1 side pulling and my 10 year old grandson on the other side lining up a spacer while I was laying inside to slide the bolt in place. I hope the best of luck to you on your endeavors.
Im behind so watching in the opposite order 🤦That is a sweet setup there, O would enjoy that smaller drop area myself! I know you have said it many times, but how far again are you from the elevator? Hopefully that repair goes well Tim, thank you for bringing us along!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
With wagons, I'm about 30 to 45 minutes to the 3 elevators around me. The ethanol plant is about 20 minutes with wagons. I would love to have a straight truck, but that is not in the cards right now. I can drive back a little bit faster, but still, it is over an hour with no wait time at the elevator.
Tim, Have you had a problem overloading those wagons for those tires. I have a similar size wagon that I bought and haven't used yet. I posted on agtalk and guys we're mentioning that if you load the wagons the tires may blowout.
That and working an off the farm job eats up several more days. I have it all back together and was planning on finishing corn this past weekend. However, the elevator is full of wet corn and will not open until today, Monday. Now, back to the off the farm job for 2 days. God is good. He has given us some great field drying corn days. That is money in the bank. Hopefully, on Wednesday and Thursday, we can get it all done.
Well darn. Hope the repair wasn't too bad. I get a lot of wildlife damage. I figure if the stalk is knocked down it's raccoons. I think the trash pandas do a lot more crop damage than most folks think.
I have been told that it is deer and told it is raccoons. I'm not sure, but I don't like it if you know what I mean. I just wish I could understand why they like my fields and not the neighbors field. The repairs are done just trying to get back to the field to finish corn. It seems like when I have time, the elevator is full, but when I have to work the off the farm job, they are taking corn. Hopefully, this week.
Maybe it'll be quicker to put the head on the other machine. But then you got to get the other one all ready to go and still have to fix the first one.
It worked out just fixing the 6620. The elevator was full and not taking any corn. They are backed up trying to dry corn. We have had very good drying days this past week, so that should help with the corn that tested 21%.
It has actually been a blessing from God. We have had some great field corn drying weather this past week. That will definitely help with elevator drying cost and put more money in the bank. He knows best, and I'm going to roll with Him. With all said and done, it cost about $400 for all the repair, but I did it the complete way. But I will save at least twice if not 3x the money in drying fees. I have found it is best to wait on God's timing and not question why. I think you will understand what I am getting at. Thank you for being here and for your encouragement. I'm still praying for you.
I don't know exactly why, but I always enjoy watching trucks and wagons unloading corn. Hope you get the combine fixed quick and easy.

@@TAHDAHFarm Nothing wrong with what you have though in my opinion, I enjoyed that!! Thank you sir for the info !
Excellent video...👍

Tim,

Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems. I usually run around 225 to 250 bushels. I take it easy and go slow. I don't know if that helps.
@@TAHDAHFarm thanks. I may pull my 2 separate just to be safe.
I'm starting back into corn tomorrow. i would like to shoot some video but having 2 other jobs its always a push to get the farming done.
That is how my spring and summer went this year. It does take some time to put a video together. Good luck, and try to have fun with it.
Your luck is about like ours. Those 2-3 day fixes burn valuable time.
