This comes as part of the lift pump? which has been replaced.

The glass bowl pictured. This is the priming pump, it is a syringe/plunger type pump and if it is the original one, not a replacement, then that may be letting air in too, but unlikely.
Start with the rubber sealing ring.
Modified fuel supply.

Many thanks all. I can confirm that banjo and pipe down into tank is perfectly clear. He will check spring on fuel stop in due course. Will Rev up and start fine in the yard but after either a tankful or couple of tankfuls it loses power and won’t Rev up. I don’t think it actually stalls.

Does anyone have the full page for maintenance and oil capacity for the final drives on an 108sl?

Thank you very much
.From what I could deduct from my remaining page, it was either 3L or 4L.
I did phone claas dealer, he told me 4.5L

I should point out that I can't just fill to the level plug, as I have never managed to undo them
Is it an Allen key, bang a torx in and undo it

Spout seems to need a lot of greasing at the swivel otherwise it won’t fold out.
Had a problem with top sieve blocking with wheat straw/ears. Closed it a bit . Problem seemed to go away.
Shaft monitor still random on walkers agitator:
Not much left to do, thankfully.
Going alright in wheat but as with every combine I’ve ever known, you get a few tips in sample with bottom sieve open far enough to make decent progress without overloading returns. I think that’s a result of our burnt off crap sand wheat more than anything but in my view confirms all combine sieves are just a token gesture that don’t really work when asked to actually do something. As you drive through a bit of sadly rare good land you can see the sample change to good.

We always used to struggle with unthreshed ear tips in the sample, even after a new reconditioned drum there was no improvement.
Just accepted the sample was never going to be perfect and pushed on.

I get the same problem with the spout. I Grease it up at various points on opening - alot of up and down the steps - to grease in different areas.
Only 3 out of 4 nipples work on ours. Can't seem to unscrew them without having to remove the tube - which ain't gonna happen.

A few on ours gummed up as well. I give a good blast of that aerosol grease around the tub and that seems to do the trick.

Some only take grease in certain auger positions. Only tip auger that ever opened smooth that i can remember was on a senator after we re fitted it. But it had gummed up with dust after a couple of days so was back to square one.

Having steering issues today. Lost all sensitivity, having to turn steering wheel 5x the amount you'd expect to turn.
Everything else hydraulic is working fine.
Seemingly intermittent as sometimes steering normally.
Undid the pipe on steering ram and it seemed to be pumping oil without turning the steering wheel.
Maybe a valve sticking somewhere??

That was my first thought, but surely steering would be crappy all the time

Got 1 of these from Claas dealer about 10 odd years ago, was ok pricewise, maybe not super cheap but not mega dear either, or it wouldn't have made it home.
