Rotor Tooth Tine Caps
Replace as needed
WARNING
DO NOT lubricate, adjust and/or service this machine unless the POWER
SOURCE SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE (page 5) has been exercised.
Shut off the tractor, remove the ignition key and remove the PTO shaft from the tractor.
Periodically check the wear of the rotor tooth tine caps. Replace the caps if they show any of the
following signs or wear:
•
Cap is worn down and pointy.
•
Sides of cap are worn to leave more than 1/8” gap between cap and stripper bar.
•
Cap is bent or torn.
•
Cap is missing.
Replace as follows:
1. Rotate the rotor by hand until the damaged or worn rotor cap is accessible from the tunnel side
of the stripper bar.
2. Remove the existing rotor cap from the rotor tooth. Clean up the rotor tooth.
3. Place the new rotor tooth cap on top of the rotor tooth. The cap should be centered in the space
between the two stripper bars. Be sure the cap is straight with the tooth and stitch weld in place
(three places per side).
4. After welding is complete, use a hammer to bend the tip of the rotor tooth cap over the rotor
tooth.
NOTE:
If the space on either side of the new rotor tooth cap exceeds 1/8” the stripper bar plate may
need replacement. Contact your Ag-Bag dealer.
