Case IH 2166 Combine Parts

2166 parts and accessories

The Case IH 2166 combine, manufactured from 1995-1999, offered a blend of reliable performance and straightforward design that made it a favorite among farmers. This combine, powered by a Cummins engine, typically provided around 216 horsepower, and could handle a range of header widths. Its conventional threshing system delivered efficient grain separation and minimized losses.

The Case IH 2166 combine was introduced in 1995 as part of the Axial-Flow series, continuing the Case IH legacy of efficient harvesting. Production spanned from 1995 to 1999. Powering this combine is a Cummins 8.3L 6-cylinder diesel engine, generating approximately 216 horsepower. The 2166 utilizes a conventional threshing system with a 31.5-inch wide cylinder and a large cleaning shoe area for effective separation. Its grain tank holds approximately 225 bushels, and it unloads at a rate of around 2.2 bushels per second (132 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 15 to 30 feet, making it adaptable to various field sizes and crop conditions. Options included chopper and spreader attachments to manage residue effectively. The cab featured user-friendly controls and decent visibility, contributing to operator comfort during long harvesting days. The 2166 excels at harvesting a variety of crops, including wheat, soybeans, and corn, provided appropriate header and concave adjustments are made.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing and minimize grain damage, especially when switching between crop types.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check the tension of all belts and chains frequently, as proper tension is crucial for efficient power transfer and preventing premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to prevent buildup of debris, which can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the recommended greasing schedule for all bearings to ensure proper lubrication and prevent premature failure.
