Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
The hydrostatic drive is where a combine owner usually gets stuck, and this factory Case IH manual for the 2566, 2688 and 2799 covers it in full. It includes the hydrostatic drive schematic, pump, transmission, final drives, PTO and brakes. You also get the charge pump output and Foot-N-Inch valve pressure to test against.
Past the driveline, it covers the main valve block, feeder reverser, reel drive valve and motor, rotor gearbox, feeder housing, unloader, chopper and concave adjustment. Section 3000 lays out the electrical schematics circuit by circuit, from starting and charging to header height/tilt and CAN bus.
Every day the combine sits in the shed, the crop stands in the field waiting on you. Pin the fault to one component, order the right part the first time and get back to cutting.
