John Deere 932 Combine Parts

932 parts and accessories

The John Deere 932 combine harvester, a workhorse in its time, was manufactured in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Offering a powerful engine in the ~150 HP range and header widths up to 20 feet, this combine was popular for its reliable performance and efficient grain harvesting. It features a conventional separator known for its effective threshing capabilities.

The John Deere 932 combine, produced from 1977-1983 (approximate), served as a reliable solution for grain farmers during its production run. Its engine was a John Deere 404 cubic inch (6.6L) diesel engine, delivering approximately 155 horsepower. The threshing system utilized a conventional cylinder and concave design, known for its efficiency in handling a variety of crops. Grain tank capacity was around 90 bushels, and the unloading auger discharged at a rate of approximately 45-50 bushels per minute. Header widths commonly ranged from 13 to 20 feet. While chopper and spreader options varied, most models were equipped to manage residue. Cab features were relatively basic for the time, offering some operator comfort and controls. The 932 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in suitable conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain loss.
Belt and Chain Tension: Maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts can slip, causing reduced efficiency and potential damage, while overtightened chains can wear prematurely.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffers to ensure proper separation of grain from chaff and debris. A clogged system reduces cleaning efficiency and increases grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the manufacturer's recommended greasing schedule for all bearings. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing bearing failure and extending the life of critical components.
