25. Place bolt-on fl ighting (MD #213361) (A) outboard of
the other fl ighting (B) on the right-hand side of the
auger as shown.
26. Temporarily secure bolt-on fl ighting (A) with two button
head bolts (MD #135723) and nuts (MD #135799) at
location (C).
27. Repeat Steps
19., page 239
to
23., page 239
for the
other fl ighting at the right-hand side of the auger.

28. Torque all nuts to 35 ft · lbf (47 N · m) to eliminate
de fl ection on fl ighting, then torque all nuts and bolts
on fl ighting to 43–47 ft · lbf (58–64 N · m).
NOTE:
Ideally, the fl ighting should fi t tightly against the
auger tube; however, gaps are not uncommon.
Crop material may collect in this gap, but generally,
this will not affect performance. If desired, silicone
sealant may be used to
fi ll these gaps.
29. Add or remove
fi ngers to optimize feeding for your
combine and crop conditions. Refer to
Installing Feed
Auger Fingers, page 341
or
Removing Feed Auger
Fingers, page 340
30. If not adding or removing
fi ngers, reinstall all access
covers and secure with bolts. Coat bolts with Loctite
®
#243 (or equivalent) and torque to 75 in·lbf (8.5 N·m).
4.1.9 Converting from Configuration B to Configuration D
Two kits (MD #287032) and some hole-drilling are required to convert to this con fi guration.
NOTE:
Additional holes on the auger are needed before these
fl ightings (A) can be installed. To improve access and
ease installation, remove fl oat module from combine. For
instructions, refer to
