Does anyone have a good place to get something like this? It is not available OEM. It is approximately 10 3/16" ID by 125" long. The original has sort of the stove pipe seam. Any leads would be helpful. The ID is the problem.

Where are you located? Many of us have boneyards we frequent, but donno how far you'd go for one....

I made my own for my A2 gleaner years ago with a piece of silo blower pipe.
It is a little heavier but worked really well.

Early K should be the same if you are searching salvage yards. Mike

Iknow that I can go search salvage yards, but not really worth it in this case ($150-$200). The kicker is that the tube is 10 3/16" inside--no standard size tube will work. I found someone to roll a 120" piece today. I can take care of all the details. Want a shock, price the hinge flange that mounts to the tube. Schmidt gave me a discount on a new one. They do have one used one left if anyone is interested. I needed that part to repair the hinges on the elbow for the correct angle. I'm currently working on the grain bin. I have the bottom and two sides being made. Those parts are unavailable too. A new bottom unload auger is also here. I got to get it done, approximately 120 acres to do. I also need a truck fuel tank, she likes her gas.

I also have a E3 here in s.e Penna. I am looking for a 3/30 corn head for my e3
I have a 240 head but cant find any work for it.
Should be easy to make. If you are close to Quakertown pa I have the tools to make any sheet metal part you need. 12ft brake,10ft rollformer, I ahve seen the tube replace with heavy wall pvc pipe on k. Works well. The owner used the green pvc pipe tht he got from a road crew cut it down drilled all the holes need and mounted it. 1/2 days work.
One thing forsure is your small gleaner is becoming more in demand as many small farms are poping up and need small combines Take care of her.
A dealer here in town just sold a ratty looking k with a bean head for 4k. Crazy prices these small units are bringing.
