Combines looking a 485

[newguy]

We only have 1500 hrs on a lexion, with minnimum problems (one bearing, some self induced electrical problems, and a big rock taking out the feeder chain)..... The best place to start would be to take the serial n to a dealer. Everything the cat doctor operates on should have been documented. Almost forgot....check the clean grain elevator bottom boot for wear.....ours had to be replaced at 1250 hours. We replaced with new thicker metal ($500). The Mech. said it was a common problem. Good luck (cant imagine what a 485 can eat, only have a 470)

The machine will be unstopable if it was taken care of just as any other machine. We have two 485s and they have been great but find out the previous owner and how well he greased and serviced it. We pump a huge amount of grease into these machines because almost all the main bearings have felt seals which can be over filled.
