[AT] Old combine parts needed

[Mark Greer]

Are there any identifying marks on the chain links? I may be able to help you identify it. We sell Allied Locke and some other brands of agricultural chains at work. http://chains.alliedlocke.com/category/agricultural-chains

Subject: [AT] Old combine parts needed

I have an old IH model 82 pull type combine. I still use it to harvest 
my 26 acres of black beans. I am in need of the tailings elevator chain 
and paddles plus the top sprocket. I have always been able to get them 
from my local IH dealer (although they usually came from an aftermarket 
company. However the guy that ordered them is off for surgery for who 
knows how long. I asked a couple of other parts guys about it and they 
just stood there with their mouth open. The guy I used to order from 
took it as a challenge to find the parts; the young guys attitude is ( 
don't bother me with the older stuff). Does anyone know of a company 
that deals with this stuff? When I ordered the clean grain chain it was 
new but had to be ordered in pieces and I had to assemble it which is no 
problem. On a related subject, my brother needed 2 bearings for a 
machine. They bolt to the side with 4 one half inch bolts and it is a 
inch and a quarter shaft. He priced them at the local IH dealer; generic 
bearings, and they were $75 each. He ordered them on line yesterday for 
$48 with shipping for the both of them saving well over $100. I just 
can't see that difference in price.

   P.S. We haven't had a good rain in months and I looked at my corn and 
a lot of it doesn't even have a cob so it's a complete loss. Soybeans 
are also starting to dry up and the black beans are unsure. It is 
supposed to rain in the next couple of days but if it doesn't we're in 
big trouble. Problem is, they have been calling for rain for 3 months 
now. Here in Michigan, we have Lake Huron 17 miles from us in 3 
directions and can't get a drop of rain.
