ASSEMBLY
POSITION THE RETRACTING TINE DRUM
Adapters (except JD Contour Master and Gleaner)
are shipped with drum fore-aft position at
dimension (X or Y) shown in chart. This is
measured from the adapter frame leg to the center
of the drum. This position ensures clearance to the
combine feeder house.
IMPORTANT: For best performance, when
adapter is attached to combine, ensure that
clearance between adapter drum and combine
feed drum ranges from 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50
mm), with combine feed drum floated up. Rotate
adapter drum rearward if required to achieve this
dimension. For JD Contour Master rotate drum
forward so Y = 8 ¼” (210 mm) to clear welded dust
shields. For Gleaner, rotate drum back so X = 3.9”
(100 mm).
To adjust drum fore-aft position, loosen two
mounting bolts (B) each side and swing drum fore-
aft in rear slot. Tighten bolts to secure the position.
IMPORTANT: With opening sizes required for some combines, to avoid damage to header, it will be
necessary to remove one tine from each end of retracting tine drum. See plasticized Set-Up card provided.
