Thank you for this. Our first combine was a 300 and I remember helping my Grandpa wrench on it a lot. We had a lot of trouble with the variable speed and the flat belt slipping. Ours was not a quick attach so it took a better part of a day to change heads. We traded it off on a F Gleaner because all the bearings were going out just like on yours. The best part of our 300 was the little 4 cylinder Perkins diesel. I run a Case IH 2366 now but your video sure brought back memories.
I really wanted one with a Perkins diesel but couldn’t find one anywhere near me.
Man, that is quite the project. That’s a lot of belts 💰! Lol. That’s exactly why older combines scare me..all the belts and bearings. It’s not to bad if they haven’t set idle for a long time or they were kept up regularly. She should be good belt wise for some time. I really enjoy seeing older equipment revitalized and put pack in operation. Compared to today’s newer models, you could probably rebuild that old girl completely and still do it for less than a annual combine payment for a newer one. Great work, and thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Thanks. Hope you have a good thanksgiving as well.
I can remember changing the variable speed belts on Maddy's 750-860 combines. We only had one hydrostatic drive combine, which you now own. We had an angle iron that hung on the front cab handle and the unloading auger sump, which carried the weight of the middle pulley. We could change a belt in just under an hour if everything went right. We usually changed 3-4 per summer from Texas to South Dakota. Obviously your machine is different from those. I remember a lot of the bolts were 7/16, so you got a chance to use a 5/8 and 11/16 wrench.
I could see how a guy could get really good at changing the belts if need be.
Looking forward to seeing the combine in action. 😊
Hoping it sees the field next week. Depends how much it snows.
That large 6-inch idler on the main thrashing belt is machined on a plane you will have to adjust it, run it and then adjust it and test run it until it begins to track right. Absolutely love the videos just subscribed.
Thanks for the tip.
Very welcome glad to see someone else saving one Charles is bringing one back to life over on our channel.
Seeing the edges shiny on the table Elevator. You may need choke plates for your head. We had a 510 without choke plates years ago and it would slug the table elevator every 200 feet. Really enjoying the videos! Keep up the great work!
Not to worried about it. Doubt 100 bushel corn planted at 12k pop loads it much.
Where are you from?
@@wildcatwilly NW Kansas.
@@tmonteIH wow we were just through there haha
I love this old shit. No electronics, no dpf, and it did it's job even 60 years later.
Yep. Fun to put some hours in the old way.
Great video it amazes me how simple they where and easy to work on not like the modern combines
They really are nice to work on. I’ve lost my temper a lot of times working on green combines. Not so much with a Massey.
It looks like it would be a pretty good machine when it's fixed properly. Nice job on replacing belts and bearings.
Thanks 👍
The process just to change the belts is crazy.
Takes patience.
Need to. Block that little jewel up LOVE your videos keep safe
Jack has a pin I put in that locks it in place.
This is why the new stuff is hydro.... just wait till the hoses on those pop when the get old.
I’ll just put on new hoses.
what I mean is on the newest combines ...very little in the way of belts everything is running on a hydraulic motor. Transmissions are fully hydrostatic. It's a nightmare of hoses running running every which way. I am not sure that is an improvement.
The things just all belts and bearings on four wheels.
Pretty much.
A lot of belts, bearings and pulleys
You’re correct.
What is the reason for getting this old girl resurrected into full feild ready condition? Plot combine?
Always wanted a combine I could drive on my gooseneck trailer and take to shows like half century of progress.
My eye spies a old binder pickup👍👍👍👍 and maybe a scout on the right
74 1510. 345 V8 4+2 trans. Has a welding bed with gin poles and Tulsa winch.
Yeah, I spotted those too, would be a fun project!
You ever think about selling that IH pickup in the background?
Not really. Would like to get it back to work.
@@tmonteIH I would love to see that. My parents had a IH Travel all when I was growing up so those trucks are good memories.
Are you throwing belts at it or 100 dollar bills ? 😮 it will make good old machine😊
Total cost of belts was about $900. Five of them were about $700 of that.
Like your videos were do you get parts for the 300
5 of the belts I had to get from our local AGCO dealer. The other 12 was a mix of All state ag parts, a belt wholesaler online, and my local short line dealer. Bearings were the same story.
My name is Dave ,,can you please slow up the fixing so can learn a thing or 2
Video would’ve been 90 minutes long.
Changing out belts is never fun, very time consuming.
Yep. Takes a lot of time and patience.
Horrible music
You’re welcome.
no very entretaining to watch your back and listen to bad music for 10 minutes
Hopefully things get more exciting once it’s in the field.
