Case IH 151 Combine Parts

151 parts and accessories

The Case IH 151 combine harvester, manufactured from 1978 to 1980, was a popular choice for farmers due to its reliability and performance in diverse harvesting conditions. Powered by an International Harvester engine producing around 105 horsepower, it offered header widths up to 15 feet. This conventional separator combine was known for its simplicity and efficient grain handling.

The Case IH 151 combine was introduced in 1978 as a mid-range machine designed for smaller to medium-sized farms. Production continued until 1980. Its engine was an International Harvester 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 105 horsepower with a displacement around 358 cubic inches. The threshing system relies on a conventional cylinder and concave design, providing effective separation for a variety of crops. The grain tank capacity is approximately 85 bushels, with an unloading auger speed of roughly 35 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 15 feet, accommodating different row spacings and field sizes. While chopper and spreader options were not standard, aftermarket solutions were available. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls. The 151 excels at harvesting grains such as wheat, soybeans, and corn when properly adjusted.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings for different crops.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose or worn belts/chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and potential damage.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and prevent blockages. This ensures proper grain separation and reduces losses.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended schedule to prevent premature wear and failure. Use a high-quality grease specifically designed for agricultural equipment.
Pre-Season Preparation: Before each harvest season, thoroughly inspect the combine, replace worn parts, and lubricate all moving components. This helps prevent breakdowns during critical harvesting periods.
