600 parts and accessories

The Case IH 600 combine harvester, produced from 1975-1979, was a popular choice for farmers seeking reliable grain harvesting. Powered by a robust diesel engine delivering around 105 HP, it handled a variety of crops with ease. Available with header widths up to 18 feet, the conventional separator system made it a dependable workhorse in the field.

The Case IH 600 series combine filled an important niche in the Case IH lineup during its production years, 1975 to 1979. This series aimed to provide a more compact and affordable harvesting solution. Power came from an International Harvester 358 cubic inch diesel engine, generating approximately 105 horsepower. This engine provided adequate power for the machine's designed capacity. The 600 utilized a conventional cylinder and concave threshing system, offering effective grain separation. It had a grain tank capacity of approximately 70 bushels, and an unloading auger rate of roughly 35 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 18 feet, allowing farmers to tailor the combine to their specific field sizes and crop types. The 600 series offered chopper and spreader options for residue management. While the cab was more basic than later models, it offered essential operator comfort. The Case IH 600 excelled in harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, proving to be a versatile and valuable asset for many farms.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose belts or chains can cause slippage and damage components.
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: Lubricate all grease fittings on the combine regularly with high-quality grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent bearing failure.
