FordTractorMan, I cut my combine teeth on an E-3, there were a couple years when I spent as much time working on it as running it. Most of the time when that raddle slip clutch slips is when you have back-fed a cob. Do you have your raddle cob shield in place? That really helps. You may have gotten lucky and had the cob move to a different spot when you turned the mechanism backwards and got it up and running with no further adieu. Most of the time when you back-feed a cob you have to get under and pull off the raddle clean out door and remove the offending cob. Make sure to use that cylinder lock-up device when you're under there. If you still have the wooden raddle you may have a broken slat that bound it up. One side of your raddle chain may have jumped a cog. Is your raddle adjusted properly? For your own piece of mind you'd better remove that clean-out door and make sure the idlers are in good shape, that the bearing isn't going out in either one. If you don't have them, I'd put wing nuts on the raddle clean-out door, as you will be under there a lot and it's quicker than a wrench. Also, one of your draw bolts may be broken. Do not, and I mean DO NOT put spacers or washers in your slip clutch to make it slip harder. I had an F that kept slipping and did that only to find an idler bearing had been getting bad. This was after it tore up the inside of the combine; it took a week to get back in the field. Hope this helps.
