OPERATION
WIDENING THE DELIVERY OPENING: Case, Gleaner & New Holland TR Combines:
In conditions where severe “bridging” is occurring (bulky crop being thrown across the opening), widen the
header side draper opening to allow the crop to fall onto the feed draper. See “Delivery Opening” in your
Header Operators’ Manual for procedure. To achieve smooth feeding after widening opening, add
outboard tines to the adapter drum. See “Tine Installation”, page 24.
Combine Model New Delivery Opening Qty. of tines to be added to drum
Case 60 & 66 Series, Gleaner, NH-TR 1060 mm (41.7”) 2 per side (4 total)
Case 80 & 88 Series 1260 mm (49.6”) 1 per side (2 total)
WINDROWING WITH THE COMBINE
To convert to windrowing mode (delivering crop to the end of the header) see “End Delivery” in the
Operation section of your Header Operator’s Manual.
972 Feed Pan: Ground Clearance Adjustment
Spacer plate (F) is factory assembled for best
ground clearance, with plate (F) mounted to the
forward set of holes in pan (G) as shown above
left. When windrowing with the combine and in
certain other conditions, clearances may be such
that the header drapers catch on the deck or on
angle (H). If so, move spacer plate (F) to rear set
of holes in pan (G) as shown above right. To
reposition spacer plate (F), proceed as follows:
•
Remove two center bolts (K) and loosen bolts
at outside ends of pan.
•
Slide spacer out (forward) and slide it in from
the back onto the loosened bolts.
•
Replace the two center bolts, exchanging
positions so the 1 ¼ bolt again goes through
the spacer plate.
•
Exchange positions of the bolts at outside ends
of pan so the 1 ¼ bolts go through spacer
plate.
