good advice, I run a F2 and found that one move or adjustment at a time helps me. Enjoyed the video!

Thankyou sir! Something I don't think about with you guys over the pond there, is you don't see them running corn. All small gains over there. Corn is so much easier not only on you as a farmer. But on the combine, not as much trash going through just the cobs, it's really enjoyable shelling corn especially when compared to cutting soybeans. Wheat and rye aren't too bad, other than I don't have a/c and it's always 100° out when I'm doing it lol.

It would be nice to have glow plugs instead of either aid. Most 301s for right up with a glue plug. But if Glenn here is about due for an overhaul. I aurally plan on overhauling one of the extra blocks I've got newbie harvest next year. And I'm going to use a manifold with a glue plug 😆 thanks for watching and commenting Don!

I've got a couple of M2s myself. Changed starter to a gear reduction and add an electric fuel pump. Now you don't crank on them they just start right up even when frost is on the ground.

O ya gear reduction starters are nice. I've got one on my D-19 with an NA 426 engine. Even without the Turbo that thing does right up in winter. I've also got one on my 7060 with 301 and that is definitely the easiest starting 301 I've been around lol.

Thank you for the information and explanations. It's very helpful! I have an M2, not experienced very much with combines as we would hire it done growing up. But with the M2 and harvesting winter rye, I am having heads come through, not completely shelled. Any thoughts on where I'm off? Thanks again for the video!

You're welcome. I'd say with your wheat you're not running the cylinder fast enough or tight enough. You'll want the small pulley on your cylinder up front and your variable speed about all the way up. Then tighten your concave until you're not getting heads coming through anymore.

I have alot to learn but this aure outs some things into perspective!! 😁😁 I cant wait to see that red blend with te silver 😉😉 Seems everyone has a method to their madness, but this gives out some great baselines....even as old as my A2 is 😁😁 Thank you very much for taking the time to show us all this, and cant wait to see harvest soon!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🌱🌱🌱🌱

Your welcome Nelson. All of the baselines I talked about here will be very simular on the A2. I think the best piece of advice in this video, is that it all starts at the cylinder. Once you get that set, the rest gets alot easier. I'm having a bit of a late start this morning, so sorting in my recliner drinking coffee 😆. But don't worry I'm headed out soon to get to work on my conversion. 😂 It's going to be an interesting video. Because at the same time here my brother is doing the same thing with his L2, except he's using a green head lol. I think you be impressed, we're going outside of the box with these adapters, when we're done we'll be able to swap heads between the red, green, and silver, like they are all gleaner heads.

Hey there Tim the tool man, you did survive the Labor day weekend, well I did as well but it was unbearably HOT 🥵🔥 I've seen some farmers that Has Gleaner combines like yours with JD corn heads on, and other makes combines too, that would have to be tricky to have to get an adapter kit in order to make it fit, it's Always easier to use the matching head, I even came up with a nickname for your brother....Bob the builder or how about sideshow Bob? Lol I don't think you'd the 'last man standing" 😂😂😂 today is the first day of school for the kids 🇺🇸🚜🏫🚸 I'm still a long ways from the Wisconsin, im about an hour drive to the ND state, have you ever heard of Fargo ND?

Didn't know they had open concaves. We had a machine called the 5000 in the uk. It had a rubber belt that carried crop to the Separator unit. It was a brave design but sadly due to expensive product costs it was the last British Gleaner.

Now I'm curious what a 5000 is I'll have to look it up. The open concave system was exclusive to the M and L combines. Way out ahead of the other brands at the time on that. In true allis chalmers fashion of course 😆.

Our F2 rolled down a hill and smashed the rear end into a tree, going to go look at another one Tomorrow that is RWA and has the 4 cylinder Turbo diesel. Know nothing about the diesel or the RWA, ours was 2WD and had the 292 Gas Chevy

As far as I know the rwa in those were pretty bullet proof. As far as the engine. It's a 433ti. I like to call it a sawed off 301 😆 same internals just with 4 cylinders instead of six. It will use less than a3rd the about of fuel that your old Chevy engine did. And they are really good engines as far as reliability. Only downfall is you'll want to plug in the engine heater is all. Lol

@michaelridenbark9946 😆 I know that feeling. I bought my m2 just over 100 miles from the farm here. I ended up having to drive out home 😆. It was January about 0 degrees out and the heater didn't work. It was a cold long miserable trip... but I got the combine home 😆. Good luck with your new purchase. I'm my opinion that diesel engine is one hell of an upgrade from the 292.
