We're putting a new concave in our 7720 along with a few other things. We're thinking about putting rasp bars in also but don't know if we should put chrome or just the regular bars in? How much longer do the chrome ones last as compared the the regular? What about concaves? Are Loewen concaves better the OE John Deere?
I'm also looking for cylinder covers. These are the pieces of sheet metal that are above the cylinder and beater. My JD dealer said they are no longer available. If I can't find any, I guess I'm gonna have to either make or patch the ones that are in the combine.
Are the false floor plates in the feeder house necessary? I talked to one guy and he said his combine doesn't have them.
What grade of steel are the wear plates made of on the feeder house frame? Ours are getting pretty thin and I would like to replace them before the chain starts cutting into the feeder house frame. I would think they would be just regular steel and not anything too hard. If they were too hard, it would seem that the chain would wear and not the wear plates.
Any help or info. would be appreciated.
