So Then,

[Allan in NE]

Before I drive 200 miles to riffle thru the old junk combines, anyone have a pre-cleaner off a Gleaner F ya wanna part with?

Thanks,

Allan

Where are you going to look for parts at?

How"s that project coming Allan?

Did you set that engine up there yet?

Where ever I guess.

Gotta be an old combine sittin' in the weeds somewhere that isn't used anymore.

Wonder if the G gas uses the same precleaner as the F diesel?

Except for this precleaner, should finish up on the engine pod today then I'll just tarp it up and park it out of the way somewhere.

The combine itself is completely gutted and I've got the biggest share of the replacement parts here now (eyes are still watering over the cost of some of those dudes). :>(

I'll get the basic machine all put back together first, then sit that engine up there as the last step.

Far easier to work on it with the "engine off and out of the way". :>)

That ground looks pretty brown there. Have you had enough moisture to keep the wheat happy?

We're looking at a couple inches of snow today southeast of Denver.

Took that picture a month or so ago. All white now with 60% chance of more in the next two days.

Let 'er come. We need some ground moisture. Darned cows are eatin' me out of house and home. :>(

That precleaner looks pretty "generic" to me. Makes you wonder if precleaners from a lot of things would work? It's not like they are a part that normally gets worn out.

Looks like the same pre-cleaner that the 180,190, and some of the other Allis tractors use. Downing tractor parts in WI should have one, 1-800-472-2815

I just looked up Donaldson Precleaners on google and found this link. It may have what you desire.

Well, fer heck!

If I would have been born with more than half a brain, things would just go a lot easier.

That's exactly what I need. Thanks!

You should be able to pick one of those up at almost any Imp. dealer or salvage yard. There are just a few different sizes.

Check out a heavy equipment dealer or repair shop. Heavy equipment uses lots of those pre cleaners. You can also get jobber ones that are cheaper. Dave

I paid $12 just for the plastic globe two years ago at IHC dealer. Gold trim I think,huh?
