Control Box Extension Harness
A Control Harness Extension is available, if the Control Harness can NOT reach the Control Box. It is installed between the Control Box and the Control Harness. Installation information is provided in the Set-up & Assembly chapter.
Hydraulic Tongue Kit
A Hydraulic Tongue Kit is available to remotely adjust the Tongue position from the tractor seat. The Kit contains a standard double-acting 8″ stroke, 3″ bore Cylinder, two (2) Hose assemblies, two (2) Cylinder Anchor Pins, four (4) Cotter Pins, two (2) Hose Guards, two (2) Swivel Adapter Unions, a Notch Cover and appropriate attaching hardware. Mounting details are provided in the Set-up & Assembly chapter. This Kit requires a second pair of tractor hydraulic outlets.
LENGTH-OF-CUT KITS
The Harvester is designed and provided with changeable Length-of-Cut (LOC) Sprockets. A 25 Tooth (1/4 LOC) is provided on the Feed Roll Transmission. Other Lengths-of-Cut can be obtained by ordering a 20 Tooth (3/16″ LOC), a 30 Tooth (5/16″ LOC), or a 37 Tooth (3/8″ LOC) Sprocket.
Long Cut Kit

Offset Wagon Hitch
An Offset Wagon Hitch is available to reposition the Hitchplate so that the forage box pulls more directly behind the tractor when harvesting row crops. This reduces side draft in muddy fields, so that the Harvester can stay on the rows. Installation instructions are provided with the package of parts.
Safety Chain
NOTE: If the Harvester is going to be transported on a public highway, a Safety Chain should be obtained and installed per details in the Transporting chapter.
A 30,000 pound Safety Chain Kit is available to accommodate the potential weight of the Harvester and a forage box.

SPOUT EXTENSIONS & COMPONENTS
The Harvester is shipped from the factory with a 1-ft
Vertical Spout Extension factory-installed onto the Blower Outlet. This enables factory-installation of both the Spout and Cap Control Motors. Several Kits are available singly or in combination for relocating the effective position of the Cap, higher, lower or farther away from the Blower Outlet. The following information defines the various Kits which are available:
Cap Motor Relocation Kit (Fig. 129)
If the Cap is too high for the forage box being used and it becomes desirable to lower the Cap by removing the factory-installed 1-foot Vertical Extension, a Cap Motor Relocation Kit MUST be obtained separately. The Relocation Kit contains an Actuator Support Bracket and a Wire Harness Loom. Installation instructions are provided with the Kit of parts.
Horizontal Extensions
Horizontal Spout Extensions are available in 3-1/2-foot and 5–1/2-foot lengths. Both Kits contain all of the same components and the appropriate 3-1/2-foot and 5-1/2 foot long Extension. These same components are: a Tie Plate and attaching hardware and a Tripod Kit. The Tripod Kit is also available separately.
Tripod Kit
The Spout Tripod Kit is supplied with either Horizontal Spout Extension package or available separately when additional Spout Support is desired or needed.
Vertical Extensions
Vertical Spout Extensions are available in 1-foot and 2-foot sizes. A maximum of 4 feet of vertical Extensions can be installed. A Tripod Kit is required when a total of more than 2 feet of Vertical Extensions is installed.
NOTE: A Kit is also available to relocate the Cap Control Motor when the original factory-installed 1-foot Vertical Extension is removed. Refer to the Cap Motor Relocation Kit topic for additional information.
Spout Liner
The Harvester is designed with a replaceable Wear Liner for the Spout. A replacement Liner is available by part number 112182. Installation details are provided in the Service chapter.
Telescoping Pto Drives
The Harvester can be ordered and obtained with either a 1-3/8 or a 1-3/4 Telescoping PTO Drive. The 1-3/4 Drive also includes a Drawbar Extension for relocating the Hitch Clips. Mounting details are provided in the Set-up & Assembly chapter.
Transport Lighting Kit
NOTE: If the Harvester is going to be transported on a public highway, a Transport Lighting Kit should be obtained and installed per details provided in the Kit.
An accessory Highway Transport Lighting Kit is available for all Harvester models. It includes Lights, Wiring Harnesses, an Outlet, and installation instruc- tions. The Outlet allows connecting the Transport Lights of a wagon towed behind the Harvester.
Tunnel Switch Kit
A Shear Bolt model Harvester can be equipped with a Tunnel Switch Kit for activating a Water System.
NOTE: The Tunnel Switch Kit functions as a sensing element for the Water System. In addition, a Water Tank Kit, for the Hay Attachment, MUST also be ordered separately and installed on the Attachment.
The Tunnel Switch assembly is designed for installation in the Spinner Chute to detect the presence of material flow through the Tunnel and then provide a Switch Contact change signal to the Water Tank System. The Tunnel Switch Kit includes the Tunnel Switch, a Tunnel Adapter Harness, a Tunnel Vane, and mounting hardware. Installation details are provided in the Set-up & Assembly chapter.
Wet Crop Deflector
A Wet Crop Deflector is available for installation on the Harvester in the area of the Spinner Disc. It is designed for use when harvesting extremely wet, low fibrous materials which tend to stick to the walls and the Spinner Cover and then, fall-off as a mass which causes plugging in the Spinner Chute. For mounting the Deflector, a Screen Cam Kit, which is the same as for mounting Screens, MUST be ordered separately. Mounting details are given in the Set–up & Assembly chapter along with the Screen installation information.
NOTE: When a Wet Crop Deflector is installed, a Screen can NOT be used.
Chapter 16 Decal Locations
General Information Caution
ALWAYS read and abide by the Safety Rules and information shown on Decals. If Decal(s) become(s) damaged, unreadable or if the unit is repainted, the Decal(s) MUST be replaced. If repainting, MAKE SURE ALL Decals which apply to your machine are properly affixed to your unit in their proper locations.
Decal Locations information is provided to assist in the proper selection and application of new decals, in the event the original decal(s) become(s) damaged or the machine is repainted.
For correct replacement of decal(s), compare the close-up location photographs to your machine BEFORE starting to refinish the unit. Check-off each required decal using the illustration reference number to find the part number, description and quantity in the list. Refer to the appropriate illustration(s) for replacement location(s).
NOTE: Refer to the SAFETY Chapter of the Operator’s Manual for the specific information provided on all of the various Safety Decals.
Paint Notice
Use this list to order paint for refinishing:
901225One Gallon Blaze Paint
901226One Gallon Maize Paint
6102396 (12 oz. Spray Cans) BIaze Paint
6102406 (12 oz. Spray Cans) Maize Paint
New Decal Application
Surfaces MUST be free from dirt, dust, grease and other foreign material before applying the new decal. To apply a solid-formed decal, remove the smaller portion of the decal backing paper and apply this part of the exposed adhesive backing to the clean surface while maintaining proper position and alignment. Slowly peel off the other portion of the backing paper while applying hand pressure to smooth-out the decal surface. To apply a die-cut Decal, first remove the backing paper. Then, properly position the Decal onto the clean mounting surface. After the Decal is firmly applied and smoothly pressed-down, remove the front covering paper.
