I don't know how different the moridge is from a GT but you could have a look at the GT website there is manuals for all their dryers on their website. I also have a problem with mine that I can't quite pinpoint, I believe its one of the timers for the burner or the relay is getting weak. The burner lights for ten seconds then goes out but Ive sorta bypassed it by pulling apart the relay and holding the little switch down until the low temp shutdown light turns off then it runs fine.

We were done a long time ago. Wasn't a whole lot left too do. Great white combine destroyed basically everything we had, Corn was the only thing that came off decent.

Taber is very well known for their corn actually.

I find out my problem with my dryer!Had a bit of a brain fart when I switched tractors on it!I had my JD 4020 (24 volt,2 12volt battery system) on it and then I put my JD 4640 (12 volt,2 6 volt battery system) on and the problem started!Sat down with a cocktail and realized I had the cables from the dryer on the wrong side so I was only drawing 6 volts!!One of those times when you over think the problem and it's the smallest dumbest thing that gets overlooked!!Thanks for the pointers though!!Probably wasted more time googling for tips on the internet than it took to just simplify the problem and fix it!Thanks again!

I just returned from a trip to the Bourgault factory, courtesy of my dealer Waskatenau motors. I now understand why my old equipment looks so good. The factory tour is just awesome and I encourage everyone to get their local dealer to plan a trip to the factory.

Bottom line, buy Canadian!
