INTRODUCTION
This Manual contains information on the adapter which is required to allow attachment of the MacDon Model 963, 972, 973 and 974 Headers to various models of combines.
NOTE: This supplement does not provide all the information required to operate the header. It must be used in conjunction with your Header and Combine Operator's Manuals.
CAREFULLY READ ALL MANUALS TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE OR USE THE MACHINE.
This manual is divided into sections on: Safety, Attaching and Detaching the Header, Operation and Maintenance/Service. In addition, Assembly and Adapter Mounting Instructions for each type of combine are found at the back of this book.
Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to specific areas. Study the Table of Contents to familiarize yourself with how the material is organized.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your dealer if you need assistance, information or additional copies of the manual.
NOTE: Right hand (R/H) and Left hand (L/H) designations are determined from the operator’s position, facing forward.

NOTE: Steps 17 to 19 are for 972, 973 and 974 Headers. For 963 Header, go to Step 20.
17.Fore aft positioning of the feed pan is critical. Pan must be far enough forward to securely engage the cutterbar, but not so far forward to cause jamming, which prevents proper function of the float system and causes header vibration. Adjust feed pan engagement as follows:
•972 & 973 Headers: Extend top link to maximum length and raise header about 6” (150
mm)off ground. Ensure adapter is resting on float down stops and adjust front of pan to provide a 5/16” (5-10 mm) gap at cutterbar. See NOTE at right.
•974 Header: Extend top link to maximum length and set header to maximum “smile” position by
lowering onto 5” (125 mm) blocks at each end. Ensure adapter is resting on float down stops and adjust front of pan to provide a 5/16” (5- 10mm) gap at cutterbar. See NOTE at right.
18.Return top link to mid-range operating length of 19-1/4” (490 mm).

HEADER ATTACHING & DETACHING
DETACHING HEADER FROM COMBINE AND ADAPTER
Using this procedure, adapter will remain attached to the combine. Instructions for detaching both header and adapter from combine are given on page 15.
1.Choose a level area. Lower the reel and raise the header so that cutterbar is about 18” off the ground. Stop engine and remove key.
DANGER: To avoid bodily injury from fall of raised header, engage header lift cylinder stops when working on or around raised header. See your Combine Operator's Manual for details.
DANGER: Wait for all movement to stop. A rotating driveline can cause entanglement resulting in serious personal injury or death.
2.Disconnect driveline from feeder house shaft. Detach chain at (A), remove pin (C) and store this end of driveline on header frame tube by securing or supporting at hydraulic/electrical bracket. Ensure storage location does not interfere with backing adapter out of header.
Reinstall pin (C).
3.Disconnect hydraulic lines:
•Reel lift between header and combine.
•Reel drive pressure and reel return between header and combine.
•Draper return (blue) and draper drive pressure (orange) between adapter and header.
•Reel fore-aft / Header Tilt hoses between header and combine (if equipped).
NOTE: Some combines are equipped with multi-link couplers that connect several hydraulic and electrical circuits at once.
IMPORTANT: Couple or cap all lines to prevent hydraulic system contamination except as noted in Warning below. Be sure header stored hoses and combine stored hoses are not entangled.
WARNING: For headers with hydraulic reel fore-aft, never connect the fore-aft couplers to each other. This would complete the circuit and allow the reel
to creep forward in transport, resulting in instability.
4.Disconnect wiring harness between header and combine. Cap harnesses to prevent moisture from entering plugs.
5.Remove clevis pin from adapter float and move handle up to “float lockout” position. Install pin in hole (E) for 963/973/974 Headers, and hole (F) for 972 Header. Install clevis pin and lynch pin. Repeat at other side.

OPERATION
963/972/973 HEADER FLOTATION
NOTE: For float adjustment when working with the 974 Flex Header, see the Header Operator’s Manual.
IMPORTANT: Set header float as light as possible without causing excessive bouncing. This avoids:
-frequent breakage of sickle components
-scooping soil
-soil build-up at cutterbar in wet conditions,
To check header float:
1.Raise feeder house and engage lift cylinder stops.
2.Move handle down to engage float as shown at (E), both sides. If pin is tight, extend top link to free it up.
3.Set top link to mid-range length (19-1/4”) (490 mm).
4.Disengage lift cylinder stops and lower header so the cutterbar is 1 to 6 inches (25 to 150 mm) above the ground.
5.With cutterbar 1 to 6 inches (25 to 150 mm) above the ground, grasp the crop divider rod and lift up. Under normal conditions, when cutting above the ground, it should require about 50 - 70 lbs. force (225 - 315 N) to lift divider at either end. Cutting on the ground requires lighter float, approximately 30 lbs. (135 N) at each divider point.
TIPS:
•For cereal grain crops where you will be working with cutterbar off ground, float arm should be touching down stop at (A).
•For soybeans or other crops where you will be working with cutterbar on ground, gap between float arm and down stop should be 1/2” (13 mm) as illustrated. Notch (D) is provided as an alignment aid for this setting.
See next page for operating tips when cutting on the ground:
To adjust header float:
1.Raise feeder house and engage lift cylinder stops.
2.Loosen jam nuts (B), two per side.
3.Tighten bolts (C) at both sides of adapter to increase float (which makes header lighter when lowered to ground).
Loosen bolts to decrease float (which makes header heavier when lowered).
4.Tighten jam nuts (B).

OPERATION
963/972/973 HEADER FLOTATION (continued)
When working with cutterbar on ground (e.g. soybeans):
•Set top link length to mid-range position, 19-1/4” (490 mm).
•Set float arm gap to 1/2” (13 mm) as described on previous page.
•Best float operation will occur with minimum extra weight on header. Consider removing gauge wheels or transport attachments, if equipped.
•Adjust float optimizer (if equipped) or feeder house height while watching float indicator to set cutterbar down force. Installation of the float optimizer attachment is recommended for cutting on the ground if the combine is equipped as required.
•Adjust header angle to achieve desired stubble height.
•In rocky fields, adjust skid shoes down. This raises guards when operating at the flattest header angle to minimize scooping rocks.
•If cutterbar begins to push dirt during operation, adjust header height (with optimizer or feeder house height control) to minimize pushing.
•Header angle and reel fore-aft position can be changed without significantly effecting header flotation (down force).
Header Floatation for 963 Headers with Gauge Wheel/Transport Wheel:
1.Set guard angle and reel to desired position for cutting conditions and slide handle (A) down to engage float.
2.Choose gauge wheel position to maintain proper gauge wheel spring force at desired cutting height.
Field Position 1: when cutter bar is above the ground 4 to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm) cutting height)
Field Position 2: when cutterbar is close to the ground 2 to 5 inches (50 to 125 mm) cutting height)
Storage (locked out): when cutter bar is on the ground 0 to 2 inches (0 to 50mm) cutting height. Header is run on skid shoes and height is controlled by guard angle.

HEADER LEVELLING
NOTE: The following applies if gap (A) is zero. If float is set light (operating cutterbar on ground), then level header by adjusting main float springs.
Adjust header levelling with header at the flattest angle. See Header Angle, next page.
1.With header on level ground, lower header so cutterbar is 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) off the ground.
2.Check level of header by measuring cutterbar to ground at both ends.
3.To lower cutterbar on one end, remove a shim (C) from under rubber pad (B) in down stop assembly. Adjust shim quantity side to side, placing from 0 to 2 shims to level header.
To add or remove a shim:
•Lower cutterbar to ground and continue
lowering feeder house so gap at (A) |
B |
increases. |
|
•Remove nuts (H), disassemble and add or
remove shim(s) as required. |

•Reassemble and adjust header flotation to
gap (A) setting recommended in Header Floatation section. Note the different H positioning of the pad assembly on the support, depending on header model and combine configuration:
•963/972 mounted on combines with dust shields removed – position (D) – inboard set of side-by-side holes.
•963/972 mounted on combines with dust shields on – position (F). – fore-aft set of holes.
•973 on all combines – position (D) – inboard set of side-by-side holes.
•974 on all combines – position (E) – outboard set of side-by-side holes.
NOTE: To simplify this procedure: With header adjusted to steepest angle (longest top link length) and fully floated, the entire down stop assembly can be removed by removing pin (G).

OPERATION
HEADER ANGLE
The header (or guard) angle can be adjusted flatter or steeper to suit your conditions. Angle range varies with combine set-up, tire size, adapter down stop position, etc.
See Combine Operator's Manual for header levelling and additional header angle adjustments. For combines with adjustable face-plate angle, see “Adjustments and Checks” on page 50 to determine if adjustment to face plate angle is required.
IMPORTANT: A flat header angle is recommended for normal conditions. A flatter header angle reduces sickle section breakage and reduces soil scooping or build-up at the cutterbar in wet conditions. Use a steeper angle to cut very close to the ground, or in down crop for better lifting action. The Model 973 and 974 headers have been designed so the guard angle is flatter than the draper angle. This allows operating at a mid-range header angle while still benefiting from a flat guard angle.
IMPORTANT: Always check adapter drum clearance to header frame after adjusting header angle. Flattening the header angle will reduce the clearance to the drum fingers. For units with hydraulic top link, fully retract the cylinder to check finger clearances.
To adjust header angle with mechanical link (972 & 973 Headers):
1.Lower cutterbar to ground and continue lowering to drop feeder house another 2 to 5 inches (50 to 125 mm).
2.Back off the locking collar (A) on top link turnbuckle.
3.Using a punch in hole in turnbuckle (B), turn to adjust header angle.
Longer top link = steeper header angle
4.At desired adjustment, tighten locking collar (A) securely against turnbuckle to fix the position. Collar should point up as shown to prevent contact with header frame when header floats fully up.
HEADER ANGLE HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENT
An optional kit is available for 972 and 973 Headers which allows adjustment of header angle from the combine cab by means of a hydraulic cylinder. This is standard equipment for the 974 Header.
See “Unloading and Assembly” section for information on assembly and use of this option.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT
WIDENING THE DELIVERY OPENING (973/974 Headers Only):
In conditions where severe “bridging” is occurring (bulky crop being thrown across the opening), widen the header side draper opening to allow the crop to fall onto the feed draper. See “Delivery Opening” in your Header Operators’ Manual for procedure. To achieve smooth feeding after widening opening, add outboard tines to the adapter drum. See “Tine Installation”, page 32.
NOTE: Check clearance to ensure that RTD fingers will not contact side drapers.

OPERATION
WINDROWING WITH THE COMBINE
When laying a windrow, stop flow to the feed draper and drum as follows:
•Remove hose (A) at pump (inboard port).
•Remove hose (B) at hydraulic line.
•Connect hose (B) (removed at hydraulic line) to open port at pump using connector hose listed below.
•Connect hose (A) (removed at pump) to hydraulic line using male union listed below.
NOTE: The following parts will be required to make the new connections: Part No. 33422 Hose and Part No. 30558 Male Union.
For a complete list of steps to convert to windrowing mode (delivering crop to the end of the header) see “End Delivery” in the Operation section of your Header Operator’s Manual.

Assembled for Maximum Ground Clearance
Spacer plate (F) is factory assembled for best ground clearance, with plate (F) mounted to the forward set of holes in pan (G) as shown above left. When windrowing with the combine and in certain other conditions, clearances may be such that the header drapers catch on the deck or on side deflectors. If so, move spacer plate (F) to rear set of holes in pan (G) as shown above right. To reposition spacer plate (F):
•Remove two center bolts (K) and loosen bolts at outside ends of pan.
•Slide spacer out (forward) and slide it in from the back onto the loosened bolts.
•Replace the two center bolts, exchanging positions so the 1-1/4” bolt again goes through the spacer plate.
•Exchange positions of the bolts at outside ends of pan so the 1-1/4” bolts go through spacer plate.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
SERVICE PROCEDURES
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, before servicing machine or opening drive covers:
1.Fully lower header and reel. If it is necessary to service in the raised position, first engage header lift cylinder stops and reel props.
2.Disengage header drive clutch.
3.Stop engine and remove key.
4.Engage park brake.
5.Wait for all moving parts to stop.
6.Park on level surface when possible. Block wheels securely. Follow all recommendations in your Combine Operator’s Manual.
7.Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
8.Wear protective shoes with slip resistant soles, a hard hat, protective glasses or goggles and heavy gloves.
9.Be prepared if an accident should occur. Know where the first aid kit and fire extinguisher are
located and how to use them.
10.Keep the service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
11.Use adequate light for the job at hand.
12.Replace all shields removed or opened for service.
13.Use only service and repair parts made or approved by the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet strength, design or safety requirements.
14.Keep the machine clean. Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
GREASE
Use an SAE Multi-Purpose High Temperature Grease with Extreme Pressure (EP2) Performance and containing a maximum of 1% moly (molybdenum disulphide).
For driveline slip-joints only, increased moly content (up to 10%) is recommended. IMPORTANT: Do not use this higher moly content grease on bearings, as it may cause excessive wear in high speed applications.
HYDRAULIC OIL
Use single grade trans-hydraulic oil. If an oil brand from the recommended list is not available, use 15W40 engine oil. If 15W40 oil is substituted, drain adapter reservoir first. Do not mix engine oil with trans-hydraulic oil. The following oil company and equipment manufacturer brand names are recommended:
Petro Canada Duratran
Case IH Hy-Tran Plus® John Deere Quatrol® J20C Agco Power Fluid 821XL
GEARBOX OIL
SAE 85W-140 gear lubricant (API Service Classification GL-5)
CAPACITIES
Adapter Gearbox – 450 mL (15 U.S. oz.)
Adapter Hydraulic System (Draper Drive)
Full system: 33 litres (8-3/4 U.S. gals.)
Tanks only: 27 litres (7-1/8 U.S. gals.)
STORING AND HANDLING LUBRICANTS
Your machine can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used. Contaminant in lubricants is the most likely cause of bearing and hydraulic system failure. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Store lubricants in an area protected from dust, moisture and other contaminants. Keep hydraulic couplers and connectors clean.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
SEALED BEARING INSTALLATION
1.Clean shaft and coat with rust preventative.
2.Install flangette, bearing, flangette and lock collar. The locking cam is only on one side of the bearing.
3.Install and tighten the flangette bolts.
4.When the shaft is located correctly, lock the lock collar with a punch. The collar should be locked in the same direction the shaft rotates. Tighten the set screw in the collar.
5.Loosen the flangette bolts on the mating bearing one turn and re-tighten. This will allow the bearing to line up.

GREASING THE ADAPTER
See “Recommended Lubricants” in this section for recommended greases.
The adapter has eight greasing points as shown below and on the following page. Use the hour meter in the combine cab and the “Maintenance Checklist” provided to keep a record of scheduled maintenance.
Procedure:
1.Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing, to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
2.Inject grease through fitting with grease gun until grease overflows fitting.
3.Leave excess grease on fitting to keep out dirt.
4.Replace any loose or broken fittings immediately.
5.If fitting will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace fitting if necessary.
100 Hours or Annually:
1.Drum Bearing (A) – one fitting
NOTE: Alignment of fitting with opening may be difficult when header is attached. Aligning drum access cover bolts (B) with hole (H) in drum support plate will properly align fitting.
