Adapter Mounting Instructions
for Gleaner Combines
PREPARING THE HEADER
1. Attach the reel drive plumbing as follows:
972 Headers: (see previous page for 962)
a. Headers with 2-Arm Reel: Remove the existing
mount for the reel drive couplers at right
header leg. (Remove the two elbows along with
the couplers and mount.)
Headers with 3-Arm Reel: Detach the two
hoses at the reel drive motor, and remove the
couplers and mounting plate.
b. Route reel drive hoses from assembly (A)
(provided with the adapter) as follows:
Headers with 3-Arm Reel - Attach hoses to reel
drive motor. Hose with yellow cable tie goes to
bottom port of motor. Route hoses along back
tube and secure with clamps and hardware
provided with header completion package,
similar to 962 36’ Header shown on previous
page.
Headers with 2-Arm Reel
- Hydraulic Deck Shift Headers only: Route
hose from mounted coupler between deck shift
hoses and L/H header leg.
- All 2-Arm Headers: Remove the draper drive
hose clamps (H), both sides, and clamp (G) to
allow reel drive hoses to be guided past. Push
hoses through channel (F) across header
opening to the R/H side. This will be easier if
hoses being pushed through are at back of
channel (F) (rearward of other hoses in
channel). Connect to header reel drive hoses at
(J), matching the yellow cable ties. After
connection, pull hoses back through on L/H
side to position shown in bottom photo. Pull
excess header hose on R/H side toward reel
drive for best appearance.
- Replace clamps (H) and (G) on draper drive
hoses.
c. Attach the reel drive mounting plate (A) to the
left header leg with two 3/8 x 3/4 carriage bolts
and flange nuts.
