Gleaner N5 Combine Parts
N5 parts and accessories
The Gleaner N5 combine, produced from 1979 to 1985, was a popular choice for farmers due to its robust design and efficient harvesting capabilities. Powered by a durable diesel engine producing around 235 HP, it offered header widths up to 30 feet, allowing for high-capacity harvesting. The N5 featured a conventional cylinder and concave system, well-regarded for its gentle handling of grain and straw management.
The Gleaner N5 combine harvester was introduced in 1979 as part of Gleaner's 'Natural Flow' series and continued production until 1985. It was designed to improve upon earlier Gleaner models with enhanced performance and reliability. The N5 was typically equipped with a Cummins V8 diesel engine, delivering approximately 235 horsepower with a displacement of around 555 cubic inches (9.1 L). This engine provided ample power for pulling wide headers and efficiently operating the threshing and separating mechanisms. The N5 utilizes a conventional cylinder and concave threshing system, known for its ability to handle a variety of crops with minimal grain damage. The cylinder width is approximately 50 inches. The grain tank capacity is approximately 230 bushels, allowing for extended periods of harvesting before unloading. The unloading auger has a rate of roughly 60-75 bushels per minute, reducing downtime during unloading. Header width options ranged from 13 to 30 feet, catering to different field sizes and crop conditions. Options for chopper and spreader attachments were also available to manage crop residue effectively. The cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility, contributing to increased productivity during long harvesting days. The Gleaner N5 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, delivering consistent performance and efficient grain separation.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific settings based on the crop being harvested.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts or chains can lead to inefficient power transmission and premature failure. Adjust tensioners as needed and replace worn components promptly.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens regularly to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged screens can reduce grain separation efficiency and increase grain loss.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the recommended maintenance schedule. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing bearing failure and ensuring smooth operation of moving parts.
