OPERATION
END DELIVERY:
WINDROWING WITH THE COMBINE
The left or right deck of the header can be moved to
close off the center opening and deliver crop to either
end of the header. This provides the capability of
windrowing with the combine.
To shift deck:
1. Install bar (C) onto lugs across center opening at
cutterbar. This prevents draper damage when
end delivering. (Bar is stored on right deck
backsheet.)
NOTE:
Insert the flange nuts into slots in
cutterbar lugs (engage from underside.)
2. Reverse draper travel on the deck being moved
by disconnecting hydraulic hoses at draper
motor (A) and install in opposite ports.
3. For Model 873 Adapters, re-route hydraulic
hoses from pump to stop hydraulic flow to the
feed draper and drum. See “Windrowing with the
Combine” in the 873 Adapter Op. Manual
4. Lower the header to the ground and continue
until adapter lowers to clear deck shift lug.
5. Lengthen center link between header and
adapter to steepest header angle to clear hose
clamps on header back sheet
6. Loosen nut at clamp (B) and slide deck across
center opening until there is approximately 2
inches (50 mm) clearance between the rollers of
the two decks.
IMPORTANT:
This clearance is required to
prevent contact between draper connectors or
slats as they pass between decks.
NOTE:
If there is interference between deck
backsheet and combine adapter retracting tine
drum, move drum back to provide clearance (if
clearance to combine feed drum allows). See
“Drum Fore-Aft Adjustment” in 873 Adapter
Operator’s Manual.
NOTE:
For 974 Headers, disassembly of
inboard front deck support will be necessary to
allow deck to slide past cutterbar hinge.
7. Tighten nut at clamp (B).
8. Readjust center link to achieve desired header
operating angle.
9. With header and combine feed chain drum
floated up, check clearances: There should be 1
to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) clearance between
adapter drum and combine feed chain drum,
while still providing adequate clearance to
header backsheet. If repositioning adapter drum
does not provide enough clearance both fore
and aft, remove one row of tines from drum.
