Case IH 815 Combine Parts
The Case IH 815 combine, manufactured from 1978 to 1985, was a popular choice for farmers looking for a reliable and efficient grain harvesting solution. Powered by an approximately 135 horsepower engine, it offered header widths up to 20 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting of various crops. Its conventional separator design made it a versatile machine for wheat, soybeans, and other grains.
The Case IH 815 combine was a workhorse of the late 1970s and early 1980s, produced from 1978 to 1985. It was built to be a robust and dependable machine for farmers of all sizes. The 815 featured an International Harvester DT-402 diesel engine, delivering approximately 135 horsepower with a displacement of 402 cubic inches. Threshing and separating were achieved via a conventional system, utilizing a 43-inch wide cylinder. The grain tank had a capacity of approximately 135 bushels. Grain unloading was done at about 45 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet. While chopper and spreader options may have varied, many 815s were equipped with basic straw choppers. Cab features were relatively simple compared to modern machines, but offered basic operator comfort. The 815 excelled at harvesting small grains like wheat and soybeans, and was also capable of handling corn with the appropriate header.

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 the crop.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose belts or chains can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage. Replace worn components promptly.
- 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: Grease all bearings according to the recommended schedule in the operator's manual. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending the life of bearings and preventing costly repairs.
