Wondering if anyone else on here with a S690 or 680 has noticed if their chaffer has moved to the right side and is wearing hard on the inside of the combine?
We have 2-2012 690's with 600hrs, and one 2014 with 190hrs and all 3 have moved over, not to mention every one that I have looked at on dealers lots have moved as well, some worse than others. The problem seems to have started with the front left shaker arm, the frame where the arm is bolted is bent and the arm is not running parallel with the side of the combine causing the shoe to not run straight and bind and ultimately break apart and self destruct, not to mention wearing through the opposite side of the combine.
One has been at the dealership since November trying to figure out why it moved and wanting deere to come up with a fix but it seems they don't care as they claim "it is only this dealership that is having this problem".
So I was wondering if anyone else has seen this, if not to check and if the shoe is not centered you have a problem, let your dealer know so that hopefully they will start caring and do something about it.
Thanks :)

I've got a 13 680 tucked away in the shed asleep at the moment, when I get a spare few hrs I'll stick my head in and have a look, I had a lot of probs with 60 series cleaning shoes so I'm keen to see if mines out of whack

My 13 690 has done the same thing, shifted right, not much yet but when you combine canola now it leaks out where the shaker arms on the left side go into the combine since the rubber seals on the shoe no longer seal tight against the walls.

You are not alone in being told this is the only combine they have ever heard of this happening too.
