I have a 1991 9500 and my engine/separator hour meter has quit working. JD has sent it out and it has come back that they can not fix it. Is there any way the machine keeps hours other than the meters? I want to trade it in next season but its hard to sell a combine with unknown hours.

Do you know what the hours are, replace tach and will have to program hours in the new tach.

Our '92 9500 already had the same thing when we bought it. The previous owner had to fit a new cornerpost monitor I believe, and the hours started counting again from zero. We just have to remember to add on 250 hours (or so we were told) to what it says.

If you have a well documented service history, it shouldn't be too hard to back up your estimation of the hours when it comes time to sell.

I didn't know that it was possible to reprogram the hour numbers - I guess that's a well guarded JD tech secret? Obvously our local tech's don't know it either!
