Massey Ferguson 32 combine Engine plate

[MushroomRob]

Anyone had any issues with the plate that drives the tail shaft splitting out repeatedly? Changed twice in last 3 seasons and just gone again. Any advice be gratefully received.

I've done 2 in 14 years on a 36.

Are you sure the engine revs are low enough on drum start up ?

And I think our second one went because we didn't replace the plastic spigot bearing in centre of flywheel the first time

Youv got me worried now.ours has over 3000 hours and not had 1.I do shut the revs down to tick over before engaging threshing so that may help.

There has been quite a few revisions to that plate over time.

Did u set it up with the vernier, to mke sure the shaft doesn't wobble too much

Do people not engage threshing on combines at anything other than tickover??

Cheer for workshop manual- done all this- torque up bits through window on housing as well to make sure I had it centralised. Replaced plastic spigot bearings the works. Always put in drum in at tick over .

Worries something out of true.
Thanks for replies everyone

But is your tick over set slow ? Throttle cables have been known to get shortened When they snap [emoji6]

Our 32 had a bad habit of doing the same. Got a nylon spigot made that was a tighter fit and that seemed to cure it. The plate we just welded up and the machine went away like that still going.
