If the transfer auger on your H&S Farm Equipment doesn't turn, check for a sheared transfer auger shear bolt and replace it, correcting the cause of the failure. Also, inspect the front drive chain for breaks or disconnections; repair or replace the chain as needed.
Why is there excess vibration in my H&S GM 170 Farm Equipment?
Excessive vibration in your H&S Farm Equipment can stem from several causes. Make sure that the flow of grain into the mill is as smooth as possible. Ensure you're operating at 540 RPM. Check the mill bearings for wear or defects and replace them if necessary. Also, inspect the hammers for missing or broken parts, replacing them as needed. Finally, if the blower is unbalanced, remove it, balance it, and then replace it.
What to do if mixing auger doesn’t turn on H&S GM 170 Farm Equipment?
If your H&S Farm Equipment's mixing auger doesn’t turn, it could be due to a sheared transmission shear bolt; replace the bolt and correct the cause of the bolt failure. Other potential causes include a disconnected front or rear drive chain (repair or replace the chain), a sheared sprocket key or transmission gear key (replace the key), or a broken shaft (replace the shaft).
Why is material not ground to desired size in H&S GM 170?
If your H&S Farm Equipment is not grinding material to the desired size, the issue could be that the incorrect screen is being used; change the screen diameter to the correct size. Also, the mill speed might be too high or low; adjust it to the correct RPM speed.
What to do if Mill/Blower doesn’t turn on H&S GM 170?
If the mill/blower on your H&S Farm Equipment doesn’t turn, first ensure the Mill Engaging Pin is engaged properly. If it is, check for a slipping Mill/Blower drive belt and adjust the belt tension as needed.
How to stop PTO shaft vibration in H&S Farm Equipment?
If the PTO shaft on your H&S Farm Equipment vibrates excessively, first adjust the hook-up to ensure proper tractor connection. If the tractor is being operated at an angle, align it straight-away with the Grinder-Mixer. If the PTO shaft is bent or the PTO shaft bearings are worn, replace the shaft or the bearings, respectively.
Why are the augers operating slow on my H&S Farm Equipment?
If the augers are operating slowly on your H&S Farm Equipment, there are several potential causes. It could be due to improper oil flow. Other possible reasons include a plugged oil filter (replace it), a defective hydraulic pump (replace it), a variable speed control valve not open all the way (open it more), a defective hydraulic motor (repair or replace it), oil that is too thin (replace it with heavier oil), or not enough oil flow to the hydraulic pump (change the oil filter, replace the oil, and fill to the proper level).
How to reduce excessive dust from H&S GM 170?
If you're experiencing excessive dust with your H&S Farm Equipment, check and unplug the blower inlet. Also, make sure the collector is uncovered while operating.
Why does the pump squeal during start up on my H&S Farm Equipment?
If your H&S Farm Equipment's pump squeals during start up, it could be due to oil that is too heavy or cold; allow the oil to warm up or switch to a recommended lighter oil. Another possible cause is a low oil level in the reservoir; add oil to bring it between the minimum and maximum indicator levels.
How to troubleshoot decreased capacity in H&S GM 170?
Low capacity in your H&S Farm Equipment can occur for several reasons. First, ensure the mill is operating at the recommended RPM speed by adjusting the tractor throttle. If the mill loses speed as material enters it, adjust the Mill/Blower sheave alignment and/or drive belt tension. Also, a worn screen can reduce capacity, so rotate or replace the screen. Lastly, check for and unplug a plugged blower inlet.
