Gleaner GH Combine Parts
Gh parts and accessories
The Gleaner Gh combine, manufactured from 1972-1978, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and straightforward harvesting solution. Equipped with an Allis-Chalmers 175 HP diesel engine, it provided ample power for its time. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, and it utilized a conventional cylinder separator known for its efficient threshing of various grain crops.
The Gleaner Gh was introduced in 1972, building upon Gleaner's legacy of innovative combine design. It continued production until 1978. Powering the Gh was an Allis-Chalmers 2900 diesel engine, producing approximately 175 horsepower with 290 CID displacement. This engine provided a balance of power and fuel efficiency for the combine's size. The Gh utilized a conventional cylinder threshing system with a 40-inch wide cylinder, a design well-suited for handling diverse crops. Its grain tank could hold around 140 bushels, and it unloaded grain at a rate of approximately 35 bushels per minute. Header width options ranged from 13 to 20 feet, allowing farmers to match the machine to their field size and crop density. Options for straw management included a chopper and spreader. The Gh cab offered basic operator comforts, including a seat and gauges, but lacked the sophisticated features of later models. The Gh was particularly effective at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific settings based on crop type.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts or chains can cause slippage and reduced efficiency. Replace worn components promptly.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens regularly to remove debris and ensure proper grain cleaning. Clogged screens can reduce harvest efficiency and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all grease fittings regularly with high-quality grease to prevent bearing failure. Pay particular attention to bearings on the header, cylinder, and cleaning system.
