Starting at the front on the c/bar, the wobble box, not very much oil in them, change it every 100 hours.
One of the reasons they fail is worn fingers, check all your fingers for wear against a new finger, replace any that are worn.
Table elevator chains & wooden lats wear.
The aps cylinder plates obviously wear, replace them before the cylinder starts to wear.
If it's wearing the drum drive varistor belt prematurely the variatior pulleys will need re-bushed, you can check the pulleys by measuring them at opposite sides, where the belt sits in & the other side, they should be within 3mm
Keep an eye on the bubble auger gearbox & the unloading system in general.
If they've not been changed you'll more than likely need to fit a full set of wooden block bearings to the IS system & straw walkers.
Have a look at the sieve box drive bushes, they should have been changed by this age.
But on the whole they are a very reliable machine if you look after them.

We use too have one good machine, but every so often it used to shake the sieve box to bits which was very annoying!!
Other than that it was spot on.
