INTRODUCTION
Your new Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to cut and lay in windrows, a wide variety of grain, hay and
specialty crops. Windrowing allows starting the harvest earlier, protects the crop from wind damage, and gives
you more flexibility in scheduling combine time.
The power unit (referred to in this manual as the "tractor"), when coupled with one of the specially designed
draper or auger headers, provides a package which incorporates many features and improvements in design
requested by Owner/Operators like yourself.
NOTE: This manual contains information on the windrower tractor only. It is to be used in conjunction with the
Header Operator's Manual.
CAREFULLY READ BOTH MANUALS TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL RECOMMENDED
PROCEDURES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOAD, ASSEMBLE OR USE THE WINDROWER.
Use the manual as your first source of information about the machine. If you follow the instructions given in
this manual, your Windrower will work well for many years.
The manual contains instructions for "Safety", "Operation", and "Maintenance/Service". In addition "Unloading
and Assembly" information is given towards 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
Windrower dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the manuals.
NOTE: Right hand (R/H) and left hand (L/H) designations are determined from the operator's position, facing
forward.

GENERAL SAFETY
The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of
your operating procedure for all type s
of machinery.
1. Protect yourself.
When assembling, operating and servicing
machinery, wear all the protective clothing
and personal safety devices that COULD be
necessary for the job at hand. Don't take
chances.
You may need:
· a hard hat.
· protective shoes with slip resistant soles.
· protective glasses or goggles.
· heavy gloves.
· wet weather gear.
· respirator or filter mask.
· hearing protection. Be aware that prolonged
exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Wearing a
suitable hearing protective device such as
ear muffs (A) or ear plugs (B) protects
against objectionable or loud noises.
2. Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
3. Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be
sure the extinguisher is properly maintained
and be familiar with its proper use.
4. Keep young children away from machinery
at all times.
5. Be aware that accidents often ha ppen when
the operator is tired or in a hurry to get
finished. Take the time to consider the
safest way. Never ignore warning signs of
fatigue.

• engine accumulated hours (E)
• header accumulated hours (F)
Select function by momentarily pressing switch (A)
once for each mode change. The function light for
the current selection will flash for 10 seconds. The
other function lights burn steadily during scrolling
to indicate which functions are currently available
at the present engine speed.
When engine is not running, and key is in the ON
position, subtotal area is the default and
momentarily pressing switch (A) scrolls through
grand total area, engine hours, header hours and
back to subtotal area.
When engine is running at less than 2000 rpm,
tachometer is the default and momentarily
pressing switch (A) scrolls through all six functions.
After 10 seconds in any mode, the monitor
switches back to tachometer.
When engine speed is greater than 2000 rpm,
tachometer is the default and momentarily
pressing switch (A) scrolls through cutting rate,
subtotal area and back to tachometer. Tach or
cutting rate will remain displayed until switch is
pressed, while subtotal area will revert back to
tachometer after 10 seconds
TACHOMETER (B):
Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.
CUTTING RATE (Area per hour) (C):
Displays in either acres or hectares. Calculates
rate of crop cut when header is engaged and
engine rpm exceeds 2000 rpm based on ground
speed and programmed cut width.
SUBTOTAL/GRAND TOTAL CUT AREA (D):
Displays in either acres or hectares. Subtotal cut
area will display first. This shows area cut since
last reset. When in this mode hold the button for
5 seconds to reset the subtotal to zero.
Grand total cut area shows total area cut over
life of the windrower. After 9999, display will
flash back and forth between thousand units and
hundred units. For example, 53286 would be
displayed by flashing between 53_ and _286,
while 573902 would be displayed by flashing
between 573_ and _902.
ENGINE HOUR METER (E):
Accumulates time that the engine is running. The
display will alternate between 4 digits
(representing hours accumulated) and tenths of an
hour.
HEADER HOUR METER (F):
Accumulates time that the header is engaged with
the engine running. The display will alternate
between 4 digits (representing hours accumulated)

CUT HEIGHT INDICATOR
lift linkage can be used to identify desired cut
heights.
With the center link (between tractor and header)
in a mid-range position, the numbers on the gauge
indicate approximate cut (stubble) height in inches.
Adjusting center link length will affect the starting
point; eg. gauge reading 4 may indicate a 3"
(longer center link) or 5" (shorter center link) cut
height. However, the difference between gauge
readings of 4 and 8, 8 and 12, etc. will always be
about 4 inches, regardless of center link length.
Header Angle
be used to identify header angle when cutting with
header on the ground. The gauge indicator will
decline until header contacts ground, then as
header height switch is held in down position, the
indicator reading will increase as header angle
steepens. The gauge numbers will not correspond
to actual header angle, but can be used to identify
a desired setting. See "Header Angle" in Operation
section for adjustment procedure.

OPERATION
Start-Up Procedure
DANGER: Avoid possible injury or
death from a runaway machine.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals. Machine will start in gear and move
if normal starting circuitry is bypassed.
This machine has two safety devices which
prevent the engine from starting unless the
variable speed lever is in neutral, the steering
wheel is locked in the neutral position, and
the header drive switch is in the OFF
position. Under no circumstances are these
circuits to be deliberately rewired so that the
engine can be started with controls out of
neutral.
Start engine only from operator's seat with
controls in neutral. NEVER start engine while
standing on ground. Machine will start in gear
and move if normal starting circuitry is
bypassed.
Before starting engine, be sure there is plenty
of ventilation to avoid asphyxiation.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow machine to start engine.
Damage to hydrostatic drives will result.
ADJUSTING CONTROLS
1. Fasten seat belt.
2. Move header drive switch (B) to off position.
3. Move variable speed lever to neutral position
(C).
4. Turn steering wheel until it locks. Adjust
steering wheel tilt to desired position.
5. Move throttle lever (D) to start-up position -
Lever fully back.

CAUTION: Be sure the area is clear of
other persons, pets etc. before
proceeding.
Temperature above 16° C (60° F):
Turn ignition key to START position until engine
starts. Release key. If engine does not start within
5 seconds of cranking, follow the start procedure
that suits outside temperature as below.
Temperature between 5° - 16° C (40° - 60° F):
Move throttle lever (A) fully forward after turning
ignition key to START position. When engine
starts, release key and return throttle lever (A) to
low idle.
Temperature below 5° C (40° F ) ( c o ld s t a r t ) :
Press and hold glow plug switch (G) for 20-25
seconds, then turn ignition key to START position
until engine starts. Release key. If engine does not
start within 5 seconds of cranking, wait two
minutes, then try again.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate starter for longer
than 15 seconds at a time. If engine does not start,
wait at least two minutes before trying again. After
the third 15 second crank attempt, allow solenoid
to cool for 10 minutes before further cranking
attempts. If engine still does not start, refer to
Trouble Shooting section.
WARNING: If starter engages with
steering wheel unlocked, variable
speed lever out of neutral, or header
clutch engaged, DO NOT START ENGINE.
Perform Neutral Lock Adjustment. (See Maintenance/Service section.)
WARMING UP ENGINE
Allow engine to run with throttle lever (A) at or near
low idle position until temperature gauge reaches
approximately 180°F (80°C).
USING A BOOSTER BATTERY
If battery charge is low and engine fails to start, an
extra 12-volt battery can be connected in parallel
with the windrower battery. Follow directions
carefully. See "Connecting Booster Battery" in

OPERATION
Driving the Windrower
WARNING: · Avoid driving the
machine with header removed.
Removing header decreases the
weight on drive wheels, reducing
steering control.
· If necessary to drive machine with header
removed, use transmission "field speed"
range, do not exceed half maximum engine
speed and avoid loose gravel and slopes.
· Never use windrower as a towing vehicle
when header is removed. There is
insufficient weight on the drive wheels to
provide steering control.
· Because of windrower shape
characteristics, a roll-over protected (ROPS)
cab is not required. If operating with header
removed, be aware that the cab structure
will not withstand a roll-over.
CAUTION: HYDROSTATIC STEERIN G
The machine is steered
hydrostatically, that is, turning the
steering wheel varies the hydraulic
flow to one drive wheel relative to the other
drive wheel. The reaction of this type of
steering is different than conventional steering
mechanisms.
Remember:
· With the engine running and the variable
speed lever in neutral, the machine will
move if the steering wheel is turned.
· Hydrostatic steering is more sensitive than
mechanical steering.
· Steering is opposite to normal when driving
in reverse.
CAUTION: 1. Never move variable
speed lever or steering wheel until
you are sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
2. Be sure area is clear before making turns,
ends of header travel in a large arc.
3. Check the operation of all controls in a safe,
clear area before starting work. Be sure you
know the capacity and operating
characteristics of this machine.
4. Do not allow riders in or on the machine.
5. Operate only w hile seated in the operator's
position.
6. Never attempt to get on or off a moving
windrower.
7. Avoid sudden starts and stops.
8. Avoid inclines, ditches and fences.
9. Reduce speed when turning, crossing
slopes, or travelling over rough ground.
10. Do not allow anyone to stand behind the
machine while operating. Foreign objects
may be forcibly ejected.

OPERATION
Driving the Windrower (continued)
TO DRIVE FORWARD
1. For field operation, set speed-range switch (A)
to position L. For road speeds, set control to
position H.
2. Slowly push throttle lever (C) to full forward
(operating speed).
IMPORTANT:
• Return throttle lever (C) to low idle position
before engaging header drives.
• For field operation, always operate windrower
with speed-range control in field position and
throttle lever fully forward (maximum engine
RPM). Use controls to vary ground speed, reel
speed and conveyor speed. All systems are
designed for efficient operation at maximum
engine RPM.
CAUTION: Check again to be sure all
bystanders have cleared the area.
3. Slowly move variable ground speed lever (D)
forward to desired speed.
CAUTION: Operate both steering
wheel and variable speed lever
slowly for familiarization. Remember
that steering is more sensitive when
speed-range control is in Road Speed Position.
Avoid the common tendency of new operators
to over-steer.
4. In situations where more tractive (lugging)
power is required, for example, driving up a
ramp, up a hill, or up out of a ditch:
Be sure speed-range control is in field position
and move the variable speed lever towards
neutral. The effect of this is similar to downshifting a standard transmission, increasing
torque at the drive wheels.

IMPORTANT: Where possible, connect hoses
to each other for storage except fore-aft as
noted below. Plug or cap all other couplers to
prevent hydraulic system contamination. Store
tractor reel drive hoses as shown at (G) to avoid
interference during hook-up.
WARNING: For headers with
hydraulic reel fore-aft, never connect
the header fore-aft couplers to each
other. This would complete the circuit
and allow the reel to creep forward in
transport, resulting in instability.
10. Disconnect electrical wiring harness.
NOTE: If a Hay Conditioner is installed, detach
supports between tractor frame and conditioner
forming shield.
11. Adjust length of center link to release load on
pins. Disconnect center link at header by
removing pin (C).
12. Slowly back tractor away from header. If hay
conditioner is attached, watch clearances at left

OPERATION
Operating the Header
Correct operation reduces crop loss and allows
cutting of more acres. The length of service you
receive from your windrower depends upon
thorough lubrication, and proper maintenance and
adjustments.

Header Angle
Header angle is adjustable by changing the length
of the center link between header and tractor.
Header angle adjustment ranges:
910, 920, 930 Series Headers: 8° to 16°
940 Series Headers: 6° to 13°
960 Series Headers: 13° to 21°
970 Series Headers: 9.5° to 21°
NOTE: Above figures are guard angle in degrees
below horizontal.
IMPORTANT: A flatter header angle is recommended for normal conditions. A flatter angle
reduces sickle section breakage and reduces soil
build-up at the cutterbar in wet conditions.
Use a steeper angle to cut very close to the
ground, or for better lifting action of down crops.
IMPORTANT: Changing header angle will affect
flotation. Steepening the header angle makes
header heavier while flattening the header angle
makes header lighter. Always check flotation after
adjusting header angle.
To adjust header angle with mechanical link
1. Unlock collar (C) by tapping it in a counter-
clockwise direction.
2. Using a long punch in hole (D), turn the center
link until the desired header angle is reached.
Shortening the link will give a flatter header
angle, while lengthening the link provides
steeper angles.
3. Lock collar (C) against link body by tapping in a
clockwise direction to secure the position.
To adjust header angle when cutting on the ground (without hydraulic option)
When cutting with header on the ground, the header height switch can be used to adjust header angle "on the
go". Familiarize yourself with how the header reacts during this adjustment to take full advantage of the
feature.
1. Lower header by pressing bottom of header height switch until cutterbar just touches ground. At this point,
cutterbar is at the flattest guard angle.
2. If a steeper angle is desired, continue pressing bottom of switch. This will steepen the guard angle until lift
cylinders are fully retracted.
3. To adjust angle from steeper to flatter, press the top of the header height switch to extend cylinders a small
amount. Once the flattest angle is reached, further activating the switch will lift the cutterbar off the ground.
Use this adjustment in combination with the center link adjustment (above) to achieve the desired range
through which the header angle moves before header lifts off the ground.
See "Header Controls" in Operator's Station section for use of header height switch and cut height indicator
with regard to header angle.
:
HEADER TILT HYDRAULIC
ADJUSTMENT
An optional kit is available which allows adjustment
of header angle from the cab by means of a
hydraulic cylinder.
See “Options and Attachments” section for order
numbers. See “Header Controls” in Operator’s
Station section for identification of hydraulic
header angle controls.
IMPORTANT: For units with hydraulic header tilt
option, be aware that when cutting on the ground
and using the hydraulic center link to adjust header
angle on the go, the flotation will be affected. To
prevent excessive guard breakage when
conditions are not suited to heavier float (e.g.
rocky or wet), do not use the tilt control on the go.
Instead, use the header height switch as described
below.

Header Flotation
The following suggested header float settings are a starting point for normal conditions
requirements and conditions may require heavier or lighter float.
Force required to lift the cutterbar off ground at each end of the header (with lift cylinders fully retracted):
910/920/932 Auger Headers: 100 to 120 lbs. (445 - 535 N)
912/922/933 Auger Headers & 942 Multi-Crop Header: 75 to 85 lbs. (335 - 380 N)
Draper Headers: 50 to 70 lbs. (220 - 310 N)
Benefits of lighter float settings
:
1. Less cutting component breakage in rough or stony conditions.
2. Avoids soil build-up at cutterbar in wet conditions.
Benefits of heavier float settings
:
1. When cutting very close to the ground, enables the cutterbar to follow ground contours.
NOTE: For all headers except 12’ & 15’ 972
Header, use top hole (A) in float linkage. For 12’ &
15’ 972 Header, use lower hole (B).

dimension (C), heavier headers a smaller
dimension (C).
1. Raise header fully, shut off engine, remove key.

2. Loosen nut (D).
3. Turn spring drawbolt (E) clockwise to increase
float (which makes header lighter when lowered
to ground).
Turn bolt counter-clockwise to decrease
float

4. Tighten nut (D) to lock position.
5. Lower header fully and check float at both ends
of cutterbar. Force required to lift cutterbar
should be approximately the same at both ends.
IMPORTANT: Spring loaded gauge wheels
(available on some draper headers) have an
effect on header float. See “Header Floatation”

Transporting the Windrower
TOWING THE WINDROWER ON A TRAILER
For transporting the windrower other than under its
own power, a side mount trailer (A) carrying all
four windrower wheels is recommended.
Also acceptable are side mount trailers (B) where
the windrower tail wheels remain on the ground.
For this type, tighten caster set screws, step 7,
below.
For narrower headers, front or rear mount trailers
may be used, providing local laws regarding width
regulations are adhered to.
WARNING: When towing the
windrower on a trailer:
1. Keep header fully raised and reel fully
lowered.
2. Chain windrower securely to trailer. Run
chains through triangular brackets (C) at
rear of tractor frame legs and through
anchor (D) at rear of frame. Be sure
windrower weight is centered on trailer for
stable load. Block drive wheels to prevent
movement.
3. Transport width is approximately 20 ft. (6.1
m). Check local laws for width regulations
and lighting or marking requirements.
4. Remember that when towing windrower
sideways or backwards, slow moving
vehicle emblem, reflectors and warning
lights are not easily visible. It is your
responsibility to adequately mark the load
when transporting in this fashion.
5. Set light switch to FLASHER position to
activate amber lamps.
6. Do not tow the windrow er on a roadw ay at
night, or in conditions which reduce
visibility, such as fog or rain. The width of
the load makes it unsafe to transport under
these conditions.
7. If tow ing at speeds over 16 mph (26 km/h),
on a type (B) trailer:
a. Align caster wheels with trailer wheels.
b. Tighten caster setscrews (E) to 20 ft. lbs.

TOWING WINDROWER WITHOUT TRAILER
The best method for transporting a disabled
windrower is to haul it on a suitable trailer or
flatbed. (See Towing Windrower on a Trailer.)
In emergency situations, for example, towing out of
a field or into a shop, windrower may be towed
without a trailer, providing the following
precautions are followed:
1. Attach windrower to towing vehicle.
WARNING: A proper towing
apparatus is critical to safe towing.
Use the following guidelines:
• Do not attach directly from hitch to walking
beam (B). Slope of tow bar w ill not provide
proper transfer of braking force to
windrower, causing loss of control.
• For proper steering, towing apparatus
should be attached to both left and right
hand frame members (C) and should attach
to tow bar at same height (D) as towing
vehicle hitch.
• Towing apparatus should be removed for field
operation, to avoid interference with windrow.
CAUTION: With final drives
disengaged, the windrower may roll
on a sloped surface. Before
disengaging final drives, attach
windrower to towing vehicle. After towing,
engage drives and park brake before detaching
from towing vehicle.
2. Disengage final drives:
- Remove cover (A) at center of drive wheels.
- Replace with dished side facing in.
IMPORTANT: Failure to disengage final
drives before towing will result in serious
transmission damage.
Do not exceed 16 mph (26 km/h) when towing
windrower. Do not use this towing method for
normal transporting of windrower. Even with
final drives disengaged, rolling speeds of more
than 16 mph (26 km/h) will cause final drive
gears to run at excessive speeds, possibly
destroying the unit.
After towing, reverse cover (A) to re-engage
final drives. Be sure plunger at center of wheel
pops out to engage drive.

OPERATION
Storage Procedure
Do the following at the end of each operating
season:
CAUTION:
1. Clean the windrower thoroughly. Never use
gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material
for cleaning purposes. These materials may
be toxic and/or flammable.
2. Store windrower in a dry protected place.
Never operate engine in a closed building.
Proper ventilation is required to avoid
exhaust gas hazards.
3. Remove the battery. Bring to full charge and
store in a cool, dry place not subject to
freezing. Remember when working around
storage batteries that all of the exposed
metal parts are "live". Never lay a metal
object across the terminals because a spark
and short circuit will result.
4. Cover cutterbar and knife guards to prevent
injury from accidental contact.
Also:
5. If stored outside, always cover windrower with a waterproof tarpaulin or other protective material. This will
protect the switches, instruments, tires, etc. from inclement weather.
If no cover is available; seal air cleaner intake and exhaust pipe with plastic bags and/or waterproof tape.
6. If possible, block up windrower to take weight off tires. If it is not possible to block up the machine, increase
tire pressure by 25% for storage. Adjust to recommended pressure before next use.
7. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to prevent rust.
8. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of bearings.
Apply grease to exposed threads and sliding surfaces of components.
9. Check for worn components and repair. Tighten loose hardware and replace any missing hardware. See
Specifications section for torque charts.
10. Check for broken components and order replacements from your dealer. Attention to these items right
away will save time and effort at beginning of next season.
11. Add rust inhibitor to the engine oil.
Diesel Engine - use 10 oz (300 ml)
Run engine to operating temperature to mix inhibitor with oil.
12. To prevent condensation, fill hydraulic oil reservoir to filler neck with approved hydraulic system oil. See
"Fuels, Fluids and Lubricants" in Maintenance/Service section.
13. Test engine coolant anti-freeze concentration to ensure it is sufficient to protect engine against lowest
expected temperature.

elements. See "Filter Elements - Replace ment" for
normal change interval.
To clean air filter element:
1. Remove element from air cleaner canister.
2. Clean inside of canister and cover with a damp
cloth.
3. Inspect element as follows:
- Hold a bright light (B) inside element and check
carefully for holes. Discard any element which
shows the slightest hole.
- Be sure outer screen (C) is not dented.
Vibration would quickly wear a hole in the filter.
- Be sure filter gasket (D) is in good condition. If

PREVENTING BATTERY DAMAGE
1. Be sure alternator connections are correct before cables are connected to battery. See "Preventing
Alternator and Regulator Damage" in this section.
2. Carefully observe polarity when attaching booster battery.
3. Do not operate the engine with alternator or battery disconnected.
WARNING: With battery cables disconnected and engine running, a high voltage can be built
up if terminals touch the frame. Anyone touching the frame under these conditions would be
severely shocked.
4. Do not short across battery or alternator terminals, or allow battery positive (+) cable or alternator wire to
become grounded.
5. Do not polarize the alternator.
6. When welding on any part of the machine, disconnect battery cables and alternator wire.
7. To prolong battery life, store batteries fully charged and at +20° to +80°F (-7° to +26°C). Check voltage after
storage and recharge as needed, according to battery and charger manufacturer recommendations.
8. Do not stack storage batteries on top of each other.
CAUTION: When working around storage batteries, remember that all of the exposed metal
parts are "live". Never lay a metal object across the terminals because a spark or short
circuit will result.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service battery unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Have it done by a qualified dealer.
1. Check fluid level once a year
of cell neck. Do not add water in freezing temperatures unless engine is run two to three hours to mix
electrolyte.
2. Check battery charge once a year
1.260 to 1.300. Readings below 1.250 indicate charging is required. See "Charging Battery".
3. Keep battery clean by wiping it with a damp cloth.
4. Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove any corrosion and wash terminals with a solution of baking
soda and water. A light coating of grease on terminals (after cables are attached) will reduce corrosion.
5. A replacement battery must have a rating of at least 640 cold cranking amps at 0°F (-18°C).
IMPORTANT: BATTERY IS NEGATIVE GROUNDED. Always connect starter cable to the positive (+)
terminal of battery and battery ground cable to negative (-) terminal of battery. Reversed polarity in battery or
alternator may result in permanent damage to electrical system.

WARNING: Avoid high pressure
fluids. Escaping fluid can penetrate
the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure. Keep
hands and body away from pin-holes and
nozzles which eject fluids under high pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for
leaks. If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or
gangrene may result.
IMPORTANT: Dirt, dust, water and foreign
material are the major causes of trouble
developing in the hydraulic system. If the hydra ulic
system should be disconnected for service, protect
the ends of hoses, tubing and ports of components
from contamination with clean, lint-free towels or
clean plastic bags. Before installing any
replacement hose, flush the inside of it with
unused diesel fuel or unused commercial
petroleum cleaning solvent for ten seconds
minimum. Do not use water, water soluble
cleaners or compressed air.
IMPORTANT: The components in this system are
built to very close tolerances and have been
adjusted at the factory. Do not attempt to service

Control valve (A), located under the R/H tractor
floorboard, directs hydraulic flow to the header lift
cylinders, reel lift cylinders and the cylinder used to
engage the clutch for the sickle drive.
The control valve relief pressure is pre-set to be
sufficient for all header sizes and options. Should lift
capacity problems develop, check and adjust cylinder
control valve relief pressure as follows:
1. Lower header and reel fully, stop engine and remove
key from ignition.
2. The same relief valve protects both header and reel
lift circuits. It is most convenient to check relief
pressure in the reel lift circuit.
For tractors with reel lift hydraulics
coupler (B) is located at left-hand leg.
For tractors without reel lift hydraulics
circuit may be tapped at Port "C" of the lift valve.
Remove hose (C) to access port.
3. Attach a 3000 psi (20 MPa) pressure gauge to a
hose that is long enough to allow pressure to be
read from the operator's seat. Attach hose to quick
coupler or valve (see step 2) and position gauge to
be visible from the seat.
4. Start engine and position throttle lever fully back
(low idle). When oil is warm (minimum 100° F (38°
C)), activate the lift control for the circuit you have
tapped (reel or header) and check gauge pressure
reading.
5. Pressure should be 2400 to 2650psi (16.5 to 18.2
MPa)
If not, proceed with adjustment:
EXCEPTION: 36’ 972 Header requires 2500 psi

Overload protection for the reel and conveyor
drives is provided by an internal relief valve in flow
control block (A). Should stalling problems develop
with one of the header hydraulic circuits, check
and adjust relief pressure as follows:
1. Attach a 3000 psi (20 MPa) pressure gauge to a
hose that is long enough to allow pressure
gauge to be read from the operator's seat.
Attach pressure gauge hose to female coupler
(E) at the tractor right hand leg and position the
gauge to be visible from the seat.
2. Set controls as follows:
• Start engine and run at operating speed.
• Move header drive switch to engaged position.
• Adjust reel speed control to minimum. (Reel
should be turning slowly.)
3. Pressure should be 2200 to 2350 psi (15.2 to
16.2 MPa). If not, proceed with adjustment:
4. Move header drive switch to disengaged
position. Shut off engine and remove key.
5. To adjust relief setting:
• Loosen jam nut at relief valve (B).
• Turn the adjustment screw in 1/4 turn
increments, clockwise to increase pressure,
counter-clockwise to decrease.
6. Repeat checking and adjustment until relief
pressure is correct, then tighten jam nut at (B).
IMPORTANT: If relief pressure does not increase

Fore-aft misalignment of pulleys can cause a belt
failure where the backing band splits between Vbelt sections, as shown at (A).
Check and correct the pulley fore-aft alignment in
the following order:
1. Rear pulley must be square to frame
To check, place a straight edge along side of
rear pulley and check that clearance to frame at
(L) and (M) is equal. To adjust, loosen nut (N)
and move R/H gearbox mount forward or back
to square rear pulley. Tighten nut (N) to secure
the position.
NOTE: Dimension at (L) and (M) should be
approximately 17 mm (0.67"), but never less
than 13 mm (0.51") to allow for removal and
installation of drive belt.
2. Rear pulley must align with front pulley
pulley and check that dimension (C) at front pulley is 6 mm (0.24"). To adjust, loosen taper lock bushing (T)
at rear pulley and move pulley on gearbox shaft. Ensure that pulley hub or bushing does not contact
gearbox seal. Tighten bushing (T) to secure the position.
NOTES: · If (C) is different than (D), see step 4.
· If 6 mm dimension can not be achieved by moving bushing (T), go back to step 1 and purposely misalign
rear pulley with frame to obtain 6 mm dimension at (C). Then proceed with steps 3 and 4.
3. Flat idlers must align with each other
(0.08"). To adjust idlers, bend mounting arms to suit. (It may be necessary to heat idler arms to permit
adequate bending.)
4. Front pulley must be square to rear pulley
pulley and check that dimension (E) is 6 mm (0.24"). To adjust, shim front pulley mounting plate at both

PULLEY VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
Vertical misalignment of front pulley can cause a
belt failure where sections of the backing band are
missing, as shown at (T). The missing sections will
vary from 1/2 inch to 5 feet long. Failure starts with
cracks across the backing band from one side to
the other, followed by pieces falling off.
Front pulley (P) and two flat idlers must be
vertically square (90°) to rectangular frame tube
(R) as shown.
To adjust front pulley, shim the pulley mounting
plate at both top bolts, or both bottom bolts
depending on the direction of the misalignment.
To adjust flat idlers, bend mounting arms to suit. (It
may be necessary to heat idler arms to permit
adequate bending.)
HEADER DRIVE BELT GUIDES
Improper adjustment of belt guides can cause belt
to jump one pulley groove. This will result in a belt
failure characterized by one outer portion of
backing band being frayed and separated from
one V-belt as shown at (G). The other V-belts will
still be attached to band and the band will not be
cracked through from side to side.
Belt guides for the header drive belt should be

check hydraulic oil level at reservoir. If oil level is
adequate, measure charge pump pressure as
described below.
CHARGE PUMP PRESSURE
The charge pump provides hydraulic power to the
traction drive. To check charge pump pressure:
1. Remove supercharge line at (A). This line runs
between “SC” port on manifold and
transmission pump. Place a tee capable of
accepting a pressure gauge in the line.
2. Attach a 0 - 600 psi (4000 kPa) pressure gauge
to a hose that is long enough to allow pressure
gauge to be read from the operator's seat.
Attach hose to the tee inserted in Step 1.
3. Start engine and move throttle lever fully
forward. Pressure should be 270 to 290 psi
(1860 to 2000 kPa).
If pressure is not within this range, adjust relief
pressure as follows:
4. Shut off engine and remove key.
5. To adjust relief setting:
• Remove cap from relief valve (B) for access to
adjustment screw.
• Loosen jam nut at adjustment screw.
• Turn the adjustment screw in 1/4 turn
increments, clockwise to increase pressure,
counter-clockwise to decrease.
6. Repeat checking and adjustment until relief
pressure is correct, then tighten jam nut and
replace cap at (B).
IMPORTANT: If relief pressure does not increase
after adjusting the screw two or three times, check
relief valve as follows: Remove relief valve (B)
from flow control block. Check that no contaminant
is preventing the spring-loaded poppet from
properly seating against the valve body. Clean as
required, and reinstall valve. Reset adjustment
screw to original position before checking relief
pressure.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
Traction Drive: Neutral Lock and
Steering Checks
DANGER: To prevent machine runaway:
•STOP ENGINE before adjusting steering
linkage or neutral interlock.
•Never rewire or misadjust neutral interlock
so engine can be started with controls out
of neutral.
•Never start engine by shorting across
starter terminals. Machine will start with
drive engaged and move if normal starting
circuitry is bypassed.
•Start engine only from operator's seat.
Never try to start engine with someone
under or near machine.
•Refer to proper start-up procedure in
Operation section.
A properly functioning system should operate as
follows:
• The starter should engage ONLY
ground speed lever is in neutral, the steering
wheel is locked, and the header drive switch is
in the off position.
• Under these conditions, the machine should
not move after engine start-up.
If either of the above does not hold true, perform
the following nine checks. Adjustments, if required
are described following each check point. A
troubleshooting section follows the checklist.
DANGER: To avoid severe personal
injury or death caused by machine
runaway, shut off engine and
remove key before performing any
of the following checks and/or
adjustments.
1. Neutral Start Switch
connections are good at neutral start switch (A).
With controls in start-up position as described
above, plunger of switch must be compressed.
Adjust switch support if required. Do not over-
adjust switch support, as this will prevent pintle
arms from locking as described in Check # 3.
2. Header Drive Belt Switch:
connections are good at header drive belt
switch (B). With controls in start-up position,
(belt disengaged), plunger of switch must be
compressed. Adjust switch support if required.
