[AT] deere combine

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Thanks! I noticed it had a knob for adjusting and a spring on it, I just 
figured it was some linkage that Deere didn't have anywhere else to put it. 
We are just pulling mine into the shop to hopefully get it ready to cut some 
grain sorghum.

So what is your opinion of this machine? Supposedly it is the same capacity 
as my 55, but I am finding that hard to believe. It appears to be built much 
more light duty. I am going to have to engineer a way to put some weights on 
the rear end to navigate some of our hills. When I was little we traded a 55 
for a 6600. I don't remember much about the 6600 other than it was 
overworked and we traded it for a 6620 around 1985. The only reason I 
mention it is because the 3300 and 66600 are from the same "series".

John,

On the floor , under your heel, straight behind the steering column is a
peg/pedal that is your brake lock. You need to step on the brakes with
your right foot and then set the lock with your left heel. If you have
other questions on your 3300 feel free to drop me  line I got one a
couple years ago and am getting ready to head to the field.
