Bought a 1997 2188 a few years ago, think it had 2764 engine hours on it. It presently has a little over 3800 engine hours on it. What little wheat we have been able to harvest this year(due to the weather), it seems the combine is lugging a bit, little low on power. We've changed all the fuel filters, but that didnt help. Someone asked me if I knew if it had an overhead done on it, in its past. I have no idea. Questions.
(1) Is there a "set" number of engine hours when you guys normally expect to do an engine overhead?
(2) Would "any" Case/IH dealership be able to look up past service history, if I supplied the combine serial number?
I was reading an old post by "BIg A", detailing how to turn up the pump a bit, plus adjust the waste gate. Was thinking of doing that procedure, but don't know if it has been done in the past.
thanks,
jim
