Too many mechanics working on a 1420 combine. Now quite obvious is that some one, could have been me, left a 15/16" wrench in the feeder house. Proceed to combine corn, about 150 yards, and suddenly rattle , rattle, rattle, slip clutch slipping. Any one care to guess where we finally found the wrench?
 
Dave, OUCH!
That is not good! What does the wrench look like? How much damage to the combine? That could be one heck of a strength test for whatever kind of wrench it is. Hope all is well now.
I think I am about a 2 hour drive South of you. Harvest underway full force up there?

It is starting, beans getting hit hard, starting to go on corn on the non irrigated. Gonna bring in a sample tomorrow from the 150 yards I combined and see what THAT test weight and moisture is. I still have to remove the wrench, ran outa day light. I will post tomorrow with a picture of where it is and what kind of shape it is on. You will be surprised.
 
It isn't the first tool left in a machine, probably won't be the last either. We had a repair guy leave a 3/4 wrench in the silo after working the unloader and it came out in a 90 degree bend through the metal chute years ago. Good luck getting it out, it probably is wedged in a very inconvient place. I spent my day putting in tank liners and augers in the grain tank, and reinstalling the chopper gearbox on our 1660. Hopefully we will get to sample our corn tomorrow.
 
Shoulda bought the Gleaner- I left a Craftsman pipe wrench in the cornhead of an F2 and it spit it out the back, had a slight curve in it. Didn"t have the chaffer open enough?
 

One guy told me that the two pound hammer that went through his chopper was tied to a corn stalk by vandals,LOL.
