Combines 1680 vs 1688

I have had both machines and the big difference was the cross flow fan was in the 1688 but you can put this in any 1680 also you had more horse power in the 1688. Some of the older 1680's had a IH engine in them and a shorter sieve aera if your dealer was trying to sell you one of these then I would tell him there is a big difference from a 1680. But if you compare a 1991 1680 to a 1994 1688 the only difference is the cross flow fan and a bit more power. They both have the Cummins engine. I think it was 1990 when they went to the Cummins engine and longer sieve aera.

The older cummins engine also ran at a higher rpm causing a few oil pump failers,I had a 91 and ran it to 2200 hours with no problems,right know I now have 2 1994-1688's and they are a great combine.

"most" later 1680s have the long sieves like the 88s. About the only difference that comes to mind on an 88 is the cross flow fan. But you can add that to a 1680 too. Biggest thing to watch for on a combine of that age is condition of electrical. Mice, moisture, etc. Everything else can be fixed with wrenches, torch and welder.

Thanks for the info. The old 1460 has given me plenty of experience with the welder_torch. Its been good the eight years I've owned it but I now need more power. 1680_88 seems like a good fit but heck i may even take a step further and try a 2188. Thanks again for the info.
