3.3
Repositioning Caster Wheels
As an option, the rear casters can be adjusted to a narrow tread width which allows for loading and shipping without
having to remove them.
A
narrow tread
width is better suited for smaller headers because it allows more space to the uncut crop and
provides more manoeuvrability around poles, irrigation inlets, and other obstacles.
A
wider tread
width is preferable for reducing run-over in heavy crops that produce large windrows.
1.
Raise the rear of the windrower slightly using a jack or
other lifting device under the frame at location (A) until
most of the weight is off the casters.
NOTE:
Lifting device must have a lifting capacity of at
least 5000 lb. (2270 kg).
2.
Remove six bolts (B) (four on backside and two on
underside) and washers from left and right sides of
walking beam.

3.
Slide left and right side extensions equal distances
in the outboard direction, and align holes at the
preferred locations.
NOTE:
Rotate the caster so the wheel is parallel to the
axle to assist with axle movement.
