Hello!

I am new here and I am an owner of MF 530 model year 1981. Now I have a question what this warning light means. In the manual there is a text, not in use in Finland ??? !! I try to send a picture of that symbol

Many thanks for answers


Oops, sending a picture is not so easy

I've never seen that one before. Just a wild guess..rock trap door open or closed?

 

[nebrmassey]

Or another wild guess...amount of air from cleaning fan? Now you have me curious!

Hi, I was cleaning the combine and after startingthe engine it become that warning light and an awfull noice from horn inside the cabin. Nobody can stay in that horrible noice! All psarts work well an there is no crain inside. I do not understand

 

[Maamies]

I mean empty of grain!

Can you post a picture of the page in the manual? I don't know those machines at all but was kinda wondering if it's for fan/clean grain conveyor drive maybe?

 

[Maamies]

Ok, I will post it to you when I drive to the farm. Thanks

Hi.

Here are the pages of the manual. that warning light is on page 22 , picture 10 and position 9

Greetings from rainy Finland

Never been around masseys much but it sounds like you have a horn accompanying that warning light. Could it be the straw walker alarm tripped above the straw walkers. I remember that happening on 914 ih and 960 CCIL combines.

I've put the word out to our local Massey experts. They run various Massey combines from that era. The one guy I talked to says they don't use monitors, they just listen to their machines while they are running. I started combining in the seventies and every machine I've ever run has had shaft speed monitors, I can only imagine the disaster if something quit working and I didn't catch it early enough.

A suggestion. It might help to rename this thread something like "1981 MF 530 warning light", that might get more of the Massey experts looking at this.

Also, I don't think the picture of the manual worked, I can't see anything.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

It's nice and dry here right now, need at least another few weeks so we get our greenfeed and hay off. Neighbors are combining peas and swathing canola right now, we will be starting soon also, the wheat still has at least a couple weeks before we start combining that.

I guess that its warning, that seperating system doesnt work. Is there any wires near shafts or something like that? There should be some sensor on some shaft, what is last in chain.

He says it's the stone trap door under the front beater. He says you will find a switch there that sends a signal to the monitor when it is open.

Hopefully this helps, good luck.

Solved problem

Hi,
dear " Redleaf" you are right , it was Straw Walker alarm " Bourrage Multiflow" I found a wire break at the end so that was the reason for alarm and horn noice.
thanks a lot lot for all friends.
Now I can continue my harvesting

Many greetings
Erkki

Have a great harvest Maamies, we just got another half inch rain here so we are shut down again.

 

[Maamies]

Thanks a lot, till tuesday we should have nice weather but after that it will rain again. Now there are heavy clouds but I think it will be sunny again

Have a nice weekend
Erkki

Now it works

Here was an odd wire construcktion. I wonder whose " Home build" system this is ???

No matter, it is raining again!
