New Idea 327 husker elevator speed?


Has anyone sped up the elevator on their New Idea pickers?  I have a 324 with the 327 husking bed and were wanting to throw the ears a bit farther.  The parts book doesn't show anything. 

 

Thanks

Jim

  I would try upping the speed by ten percent and see how it goes.  If it starts clanking and rattling too hard you can always change it back.  I honestly cannot see the harm in upping the speed.

Back when our neighbors had dairy cows, they used to pick into Badger silage boxes with a 324.  They sped the elevator up to fill the back of the wagon.  They used one of those weld-a-sprocket assemblies on the elevator shaft to do it.  I don't know how much smaller they went with the sprocket, though.
