Performance Boosting Combine Parts (Loewen)

Performance Boosting Combine Parts (Loewen) COMBINES Accessories 21-2-29 Here are two new performance boosting combine replacement parts unveiled by Loewen Manufacturing, Altona, Manitoba, at the recent Canadian International Farm Machinery Show in Toronto. The Concave Shock Kit is designed to prevent bent concaves on Case-IH axial flow combines when a foreign object or a large amount of crop material goes through the threshing area. It consists of two clevises and turnbuckles fitted with heavy-duty compression springs that act as hanger brackets on each end of the input side of the concave. Installation is easy. You simply remove the existing hanger brackets and plate and pin and bolt the new ones in place. Available for all Case-IH combines. Sells for $224 (U.S.). Also new for 1997 is Loewen's all-aluminum strawwalker for Deere 9600 combines. Aluminum construction reduces the weight of the strawwalker 50 percent from the manufacturer's original 160-lb. steel strawwalker. The lighter weight strawwalker helps to reduce wear to strawwalker crankshafts and bearings. Sells for $945 (U.S.).
