Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested to optimize threshing efficiency and minimize grain damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check belt and chain tension regularly, especially before and during harvest. Loose belts and chains can lead to reduced performance and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep the sieves and chaffer clean of debris to ensure proper separation and minimize grain loss. Clean them daily or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the manufacturer's greasing schedule for all bearings to prevent premature failure and ensure smooth operation.

History & Background

The Case IH 1460 was introduced in 1979 as part of the Axial-Flow series, replacing older International Harvester models. While it didn't feature the rotary threshing system of the larger Axial-Flow combines, it represented a significant upgrade in performance and reliability for farmers using conventional combines. It remains a popular choice for smaller farms or those seeking a dependable and cost-effective harvesting solution.
