check the front straw walker shaft bearings.
They are accessable under a round cover
on the vertical sides of the grain bin and they
are not too hard to change with a bit of caution
with a torch.
I had to change them twice in 4000 hours on my
750. By the way, check the back shaft's bearing also.
The one is hiding behind the big drive pulley and the
other is by the returns elevator.
