  • See the piece that created all this damage! I also answer some questions that were asked about the first video. In this video, I will show you the piece that went through this machine and then we will get into what it takes to do a complete separator recondition. I replace the feed floor, separator frame rails, rotor covers, rotor, rotor discharge housing, discharge beater and grate, concaves, separator grates, feed accelerator, and more! See the feeder house get installed.
    What a major project this has turned out to be! It is one of the largest separator repair jobs of my career.

    Wow. Putting that beast back together again was super interesting. Lots of pieces to put back in the combine.
    My compliments to you ZK and Josh and the other helpers. You all did a great job. More than I would have tackled. My hat is off to all of you.

    @christophermurphy943 Рік тому +10

    Raccoons in the fan shroud have become a bigger problem with hydraulically driven fans because they don’t slip like a belt driven fan. They usually destroy the fan and cooling package. Good idea to inspect fan shroud area when checking fluids before start up, especially in colder months. The raccoons also damage wiring harnesses and sound deadening foam. I’ve seen it be a much more gruesome mess to deal with than what you encountered. So glad that was not the case for you guys. As always, great video.

    Another fascinating video. The last JD combine I was inside of was my 8820 when I was still farming. Even with rotor type separating, a lot of the newer machines still look somewhat familiar. That would have been a b!tch of a job to do in a farm shop. Looks like a good working team you had there.

    @oldbluedog Рік тому +3

    We must be pretty stupid or tight here in Australia 🇦🇺 90% of those bent n broken part would have been hammered straight and cracks welded before being reinstalled with the original bolts.
    It is an insurance job which does give a loot if latitude in a repair and JD central is up the road for you.
    We are pretty well on the end of a very long supply chain and most work is farmer completed not workshop.
    The contrast is interesting as is the prices over there. Much higher here based on the exchange rate and again distance.
    Thanks for the videos.
    I’d post the raccoon 🦝 as a separate video. One of the funnier things I’ve seen in a while.
    Had a tractor catch fire recently on starting after rodents made themselves at home in the starter harness under the dash. We got it out but the harness was cooked. Got to love the critters.

    • @pootthatbak2578
      @pootthatbak2578 Рік тому

      Replacing all the parts with new versus hammering straight/ welding back together probably depends on the owners insurance or overall cash on hand. This company survives by doing these sorts of repairs, so first, you must consider who we are viewing. For every combine you see in this shop, there are probably 5 that stay in the field until a local mechanic or farmhand fixes it.

    • @ShainAndrews

    There's absolutely no way he shut that off in two seconds. If the machine was under load that separator will stop within 2-3 seconds without total destruction taking place inside. I've actually ran the same thing in one of our combines. I heard a clunk in the feederhouse and shut everything off right then. The s tine shot down through the stone trap bent the front plate on the transmission, pulled it back in the feed accelerator into the rotor busted two threshing elements then busted a separating grate where it exited the rotor. Replacement parts were two threshing elements, a threshing grate, a set of3 tines, stone trap door, and plastic door that covers the threshing grate that broke. No damage to the feed accelerator. I enjoy your videos.
