I have a 94 r62 and am allways looking for the next thing to go wrong with it and to keep ahead of it. So I went a head and updated the feed shaft on the upper feederhouse. Thought it was a good idea and it works great. But I think I found a short coming. I picked up a small rock and it found its way under the upper feeder chain and stopped it cold. Now that there is no slip clutch on that shaft the next weak link is the tension bars for the feed drums. They quickly got bent inwards and caused alot of racket and headache.
My question is has this happened to anyone else? Or is this just another thing on the long list of "never seen that before" breakdowns.
