In Reply to: setting cyl. gleaner K posted by Trent on June 05, 1999 at 08:42:29 CDT:
My notes from the past 7 years with my K are as follows
Sheave 8"
Concaves # 1,3,5 Channel bar
Concave Clearence 3/8"
Chaffer 3/8"
Sieve 5/16"
Cyl Speed 7-10 Try 8 to start
Wind 5-10 cranks in (I use belt level with edge of pulley)
I normally use the cyl speed to adjust for the dry of the day.
9 or 10 early in day or close to dark. 7 or 8 in middle of the day.
If set too high the Wheat will crack.
Let me know if this is drasticly different from your experience.
