Gleaner N2 Combine Parts
N2 parts and accessories
The Gleaner N2 combine, manufactured from 1975 to 1979, was known for its transverse-mounted engine and exceptional hillside performance. Offering engine power around 195 HP and header widths up to 30 feet, it was a popular choice for farmers seeking reliable and efficient grain harvesting. Its conventional cylinder and walk-over separator design contributed to its simplicity and ease of maintenance, making it a trusted machine in the field.
The Gleaner N2 combine harvester was produced from 1975 to 1979, representing a significant advancement in combine technology at the time. Powering the N2 was a reliable Cummins V-8 diesel engine, delivering approximately 195 horsepower and 549 cubic inch displacement (9.0L), known for its robust performance. The N2 utilized a conventional cylinder and walk-over straw walker separator system for effective threshing and grain separation. Its grain tank boasted a capacity of around 200 bushels, and an unloading auger capable of unloading at approximately 50 bushels per minute, enabling efficient harvest cycles. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 30 feet, accommodating various field sizes and crop conditions. Chopper and spreader options were available for residue management. Cab features included air conditioning and improved operator comfort compared to earlier models. The Gleaner N2 excelled at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, proving its versatility across a range of crops.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for specific settings based on the crop being harvested.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Routinely check 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: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to prevent buildup of debris. Blocked sieves and chaffer reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is essential for extending the lifespan of bearings and preventing costly downtime.
