Gleaner m2

[Gregorytractorguy]

I have a gleaner m2. When I combine for about one bin full the hot oil light comes on. Shortly after that the steering wheel will click as I turn it. Combine does not turn when that happens. Also I no longer can raise head. When it’s cold it seems to work correctly but will not raise 6 row head at low rpm even on start up. Thanks in advance for any pointers. It does have correct clean atf and new filter.
Also should it have 180 bushel bin?

I recall when an F (with manual spool valves) hydraulic system messed up. The cause was one spool stuck just off from center.
A possibility in your situation is the hydraulic system is similarly loaded causing it to heat rapidly. It's difficult to hear that going on with a combine when everything is back behind the bin. You know how with a tractor you can usually tell by the sounds when the hydraulic system is maxed out pushing a relief valve open. I can't be any more specific than to suggest that your valve block needs to be checked over thoroughly. It's been so long I can't remember, but I think it's normal to have to increase engine speed to raise the header. It's that way with my CaseIH 1660.

Yes I know what you mean by the tractor. I will check the valves should be able to find a process in the book. I was looking combine over today and noticed that there is no hydraulic cooler. That seems odd ???
