ASSEMBLY
Preparing the Adapter (cont’d.)
ATTACH CENTER LINK
For mechanical center link (G), attach to adapter
frame with clevis and lynch pins as shown, with
locking collar (H) forward and pointing upward.
As a starting point, set the link length to 19-1/4” (490
mm) pin-to-pin. (Approximately 1-3/8” (35 mm) of
thread showing at each end).
IMPORTANT: For both mechanical and hydraulic
center link, attach to rear hole on adapter mounting
lug for all combines except the following:
• All John Deere and New Holland Combines
where dust shields remain installed.
• All combines with 963 Header
These use the front hole. Damage to header side
drapers or adapter drum may occur if installed in the
back hole with these combines and headers.
For units with hydraulic center link, see
“Preparing the Header”, page 49
RETRACTING TINE DRUM FINGERS
IMPORTANT: Drums are shipped with the
minimum number of fingers installed to
ensure damage to header is avoided.With
opening sizes required for some combines,
it will be necessary to add fingers to each
end of retracting tine drum. In the chart at
right, unshaded listings are “As Shipped”
and require no modification at set up.
Shaded listings require addition of tines to
each end at set-up, prior to operating the
header.
