Hi guys,
This afternoon, Andrew and I worked on "Peeley", Andrew's combine. A bearing had gone out on the feeder house, the part of the combine that takes the grain from the header up in to the thrashing components...
So, after fighting with the big electric clutch/gear, we finally got that piece off of the combine, to find two very chewed up bearings! You see, when one bearing goes out, it usually sends lots of little metal shavings everywhere, and in this case, they went into the other bearing and took it out too. >:-(
After examining the damage, we lifted up one of Andrew's cars to try to figure out if he had a warped brake roter, or if there was just a bunch of junk in behind the roter, causing it to be mounted a little off center. It turns out that it was just a bit of rust, and not a warped roter.
Well, time to go do the chores. Jacob B.
