John Deere 60 Series Combines:

NOTE: Order the following from your John Deere
dealer (not supplied by MacDon): Multi coupler JD#
AH166991 (with five couplers), qty. 1, OR JD#
AH166993, qty. 1 (without reel fore-aft couplers).

• Mount the coupler bracket (F) to the inboard flange of

the left header leg with two 1/2 x 1 inch carriage bolts
and flange nuts.

• Attach brace (D) to coupler bracket (F) using 1/2 x 1

inch carriage bolt and flange nut at (G). Ensure brace

(D) is tight against backtube and bottom of coupler

bracket. Tighten bolt (E) and jam nut after tightening

brace to coupler bracket. Bolt (E) should be tight

enough to ensure L/H leg of brace is tight against

backtube.

• Match the coloured cable ties at the header end of hoses to connect the

header hoses to the coupler bracket hoses.
NOTE: If the header has a hydraulic center link, use the fitting supplied in
the hose to connect to the selector valve hose (green cable ties), otherwise
remove it.

• Mount the wiring harness to the John Deere multi coupler with the

retaining ring supplied. Mount the multi coupler to the combine.

• Match the cable ties at the combine end of hoses to coloured discs on

the multi coupler ports and attach the three smaller hoses (one hose if
no fore-aft installed): Red cable tie to dark blue disc, orange cable tie to
light blue disc & green cable tie to green disc.

• Attach the two reel drive hoses to the other two ports on the multi-

coupler.
