Adjustable Slider Mounting Bracket & Draper

Position #1

This is suggested for use with corn heads and draper heads. Notice the Slider-Base Assembly points toward the left side of the transporter. The head will rest against the top slider assembly bracket and on the top rail of the header transport. Adjust the brackets according to dimension “A” and the reference chart provided below.

Position #1 has the brackets shown in the lowered position, which allows the transporter to be utilized for older models of heads and combines. Locate heads so the stalk rollers are to the left of the top rail and there is clearance between the left tire and drive shafts.

Position #2

This is suggested for use with platform type heads. Notice the Slider-Base Assembly points toward the right side of the transporter. The head will rest against the top slider assembly bracket and on the top rail of the header transport. Adjust the brackets according to dimension “B” and the reference chart provided below.

Position #2 has the brackets shown in the raised position. This is illustrated by dimension “C”. The brackets are pinned 2 in (5 cm) higher to prevent floating arms on the bottom of platforms from resting on the frame of the transport. This also allows corn head to be raised up and create more clearance between PTO shafts and transport tires. Locate skid shoes so they rest on the top rail.

Draper or Stalk Bracket Locations for 616C & 618C

This illustration shows the approximate locations for the Draper Brackets used to mount John Deere 616C & 618C corn heads. The brackets can be raised to allow more clearance beween PTO shafts and transport tires. This is done by placing the pins, provided with the bracket, in the upper holes of the clamping plates and resting the pins on the bottom bed rail. The picture to the right shows a bracket in the raised position. The brackets should be adjusted, as needed, so the skid shoes on the head rest on the top bed rail.

Step 2: Remove nylon tie-down strap from ratchet. Feed the tail end through the nylon loop on the opposite end, to create a slipknot around the feeder house bar of the combine header. (See picture to the left.)

Step 3:

Feed tail end of strap through the drum slot on the ratchet. Pull tail end through tight and ratchet the connection tightly. (See picture to the left.)

Tire Safety

Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a rim can produce an explosion which may result in a serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have proper equipment and experience to do job. Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount tires.

Always order and install tires and wheels with appropriate type and load capacity to meet or exceed anticipated weight to be placed on the equipment.

Head Transport Checklist

Downtime in the fields caused by field breakdowns is costly and time consuming. Many breakdowns can be eliminated by periodic equipment maintenance. By spending a little time running over this checklist, following proper after-season care, you can save time and money later on.

Warning: To prevent Serious Injury or Death

•Make sure ALL guards and shields are in place.

•Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating parts.

Before Going to the Field

1.Visually Inspect

•Inspect tires for cracks and worn spots.

• Inspect head transport, make sure that all guards are in place and in good shape.

• Inspect for any loose bolts, worn parts, or cracked welds, and make any necessary repairs.

• Inspect tie-downs for cuts.

2.Check

• Tires for proper inflation.

• Lug nuts for proper torque.

• Lights for proper operation.

• Zerk locations, wheel bearings, and grease as needed.

• All guards and shields. Replace or repair if necessary to insure proper protection.

3.Replacement Parts

• Replace all worn or damaged parts.

• Replace tie-downs if cuts exist.

After Season Care

• Grease all zerk locations.

• Repack wheel bearings before storage.

• Inspect tires for punctures, holes or any other type of leak and repair as needed.

Maximum Towing Speed

The ST235/80R16 Import Radial tires are stamped (DOT). This signifies that the tire has passed the required Department of Transportation (DOT) tests for posted highway speeds.
