I recently purchased a 2012 Gleaner S67. It has 553 separator hours on it. The dealer is recommending replacing the feederhouse chain sprockets and they say when the feederhouse chain sprockets are replaced it's best to replace the chain at the same time because the old chain could chew up the new sprockets.
Just looking at it, I pretty much agree with them other than it seems pretty crazy to me that the feederhouse chain would only last 550 separator hours. Is that a normal period of time?
This machine has lateral tilt. Should you have 4 half links when the chain is new on the front feederhouse chain and 1 on the rear feederhouse chain?
Here are a few pictures of the sprockets. The Right side of these images is the front of the machine. Thanks.
How worn can your feederhouse chain sprockets go without causing problems?
