Figure 4.60: Cutterbar Spindles
IMPORTANT:
•
Spindles that rotate clockwise have right-leading threading
and are identified by a smooth top on spindle gear shaft (A).
•
Spindles that rotate counterclockwise have left-leading
threading and are identified by machined grooves on spindle
gear shaft (B) and nut (C).
•
If the spindle position in the cutterbar has changed, the
rotational direction of that spindle
MUST
remain the same
(that is, a clockwise spindle must maintain its clockwise
rotation).
•
Failure to maintain the rotation pattern can result in damage
to the spindle and/or to the cutterbar components.
•
The shear pin will not perform properly if the spindles used
are in the wrong orientation.
Changing Eight Disc Cutterbar Crop Stream Configuration
Two crop stream settings are possible: one stream and three streams.

To change (8 disc) spindle rotation from three crop streams (B) to one crop stream (A):
•
Swap disc/spindle (3) with disc/spindle (6)
To change (8 disc) spindle rotation from one crop stream (A) to three crop streams (B):
•
Swap disc/spindle (6) with disc/spindle (3)
