I have a NH TR88. There is a ding sound (metal on metal) every 3 sec and it appearing to come from the upper end of the feeder house. Can a bent feed chain bar cause this sound?

That would be the first thing I would check

also it could be a slat or the feeder chain jingling on the stone roll if you run the stone roll in the upmost position when harvesting canola. very common on the TR combines. TR 99s have an optional rubber covered bearing assy on each side to carry the upper span of the feeder chain which quietens things considerably by preventing contact with the stone roll

broken slat, bent slat, chain a little loose, maybe a rock in the trap that hits a slat, loose bolts holding the slat to the chain, look inside and have someone roll over the drive for a good inspection..

although if you dropped a phone in there and someone was trying to call , it could be that too. check to see if yours fell out of that pocket

Maybe that's why his 2nd post is not forthcoming

With the help of another set of eyes found the bent slat. Thanks for the help
