Wobble box bearings, especially if the oil isn't changed annually.
Check the table elevator chains & the wooden runners.
Make sure the aps roller wear plates have been replaced before wearing into the mounting lugs.
Drum/concave always worth inspection for wear/damage.
Measure the drum variator pulleys for wear, measure across pulley where belt is & at the other side, should be within 3mm. If not factor in replacing bushes.
Check all the seals on the prep pan & sieve box.
Check all unloading auger drives.
Check straw walker bearing & IS bearings.

I'm sure I'll think of loads of other bits as well.
