Gleaner CII Combine Parts
Cii parts and accessories
The Gleaner Cii combine, manufactured from 1979-1992, offered reliable harvesting power for farmers. With engine options ranging from 170-200 HP and header widths up to 30 feet, it was a versatile machine. The Cii's conventional cylinder and walker separation system provided efficient grain separation, solidifying its reputation for harvesting performance in various crops.
The Gleaner Cii series was introduced in 1979, building upon Gleaner's legacy of side-hill harvesting technology. Production continued until 1992. Engine options included various Allis-Chalmers diesel engines, delivering between 170 and 200 horsepower, depending on the specific model year and configuration. These engines typically featured a displacement of around 426 cubic inches. The Cii utilized a conventional threshing system with a wide cylinder and walkers for grain separation. Grain tank capacity varied but generally held around 200 bushels. The unloading auger speed was approximately 45-50 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 feet to 30 feet, allowing farmers to adapt the combine to different field sizes and crop types. Chopper and spreader options were available for residue management. The cab offered basic operator comfort and visibility, designed for long days in the field. The Gleaner Cii excelled at harvesting a variety of crops, including wheat, soybeans, corn, and other small grains. Its simple design and robust construction contributed to its long-lasting popularity and reliability.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing without excessive grain damage. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for different crop types.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and ensure efficient grain separation. Clogged sieves can reduce harvesting capacity and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the maintenance schedule to prevent premature wear and failure. Use high-quality grease designed for agricultural equipment.
