Massey M40 combines

[Warp Land Farmer]

We have a 38, been a very good combine for us in OSR, WW, SW, SB and SBeans, hasn't cost us a lot in maintenance or repairs but we know a very good independent mechanic. If the price is right and its from a good home it should be a good bus.

There's not many things to watch for.
The hole being clean is one, then obviously the shaker bushes.
The unloading arm needs lots of grease daily, it is not uncommon for them to seize and knacker the ram/mounts which operates them.
Other than that it's just check for general wear and tear

One at Corfields ?

There's one parked at halls, from last Friday sale.

Agree Plenty of grease on unloading auger. Ours stuck once just after we got it. Soon learnt to grease it well

Had the same on a claas we used to own. Had to push the spout with the loader, until it got going.

You'll not do that with the fergie, it'll need repair if it seizes.
Grease it well, daily, and after long periods of inactivity operate it back and forth in small movements to make sure it's free.

Loader worked on ours but made sure it didn't need to be done again

Bought a class once that I had to use the telescopic to free up.

Anyone running a 40 combine red chassis? I’m after a photo of the plug what goes to the voltage cut off relay on the actuator what starts and stops the straw walkers and drum etc. our 36 actuator had stopped working and got one off a 40rs which is a better stronger actuator but it hasn’t got this part on the short wiring. I think it is just a small black box but if anyone could let me know if they have one and send a photo with the numbers of the unit then I could order one to run this actuator on our 36. Thanks

Relay number could be D45080024 but they have been superseded many times. If it is the relay mounted near the actuator it has a time delay function and is nearly 300 quid....

Yeah I believe this is the part I am missing. Does this part plug into the 4 pin plug on the wiring for the actuator or does it have its own wiring from the fuse board. Is the D number a Massey number or is this a generic number?

 

[Wombat]

D means it is a dronningborg number

i got a new actuartor from these guys http://www.hollinapplications.co.uk/Agricultural_index.htm for my 34. Has a couple of limit switches you adjust in it to set the range.
