Rotor Blade Replacement
RD01H143
Stop the engine and remove the key from the
switch to prevent anyone from starting the
Combine.
The straw chopper rotor blades can be reversed for
increased wear. Place each blade on the original
blade support when reversing the rotor blades.
Position the nut against the support and tighten the
bolts from the blade side to a torque of 102 to 115
Nm (75 to 85 pound foot).
Replace the straw chopper rotor blades in sets of
two. When replacing a straw chopper rotor blade,
make sure that the straw chopper rotor blade
opposite the one that is being replaced, is also
replaced to maintain a balanced straw chopper rotor.
Use 1/2 x 1 inch hex head, Grade 5 bolts and flange
lock nuts. Position the nuts against the support and
tighten the bolts from the blade side to a torque of
102 to 115 Nm (75 to 85 lb. ft.). The rotor must be
balanced if too much vibration occurs after
reassembly. See your dealer.
NOTE: Do not remove the bolts on the balancing
disc at the ends of the straw chopper rotor.
