9.12 DRAPER DEFLECTORS
D60 single knife headers are equipped with
rubber deflectors that are attached to the inboard
side of the endsheets to prevent material from
falling through the gap between endsheet and
draper.
In some cases, material hesitates on deflectors
and will not flow onto draper. Replace existing
deflector with a narrower one, or rework existing
deflector.

b. Shut down combine. Remove key. Engage reel
props.
c. Remove three carriage bolts (A) securing aft end
of existing deflector (B) to frame behind the
backsheet.
d. Drill out seven pop-rivets (C) along the endsheet,
and remove deflector.
e. Position new deflector (part number 172381) (D)
onto endsheet bracket, and attach with seven
pop-rivets (part number 18768) (E).
f. Re-install three carriage bolts (A) at aft end of
deflector.
