215916 146 Revision A
Engaging and Disengaging Wheel Drives
The wheel drives, along with the wheel drive motors, provide the motive force needed to turn the windrower’s drive
wheels. They may need to be disengaged for certain maintenance operations, or to tow the header.
WARNING
Park the windrower on a flat, level surface. Chock the wheels when disengaging the wheel drive to prevent the
windrower from rolling away.
1. Park the windrower on a level surface.
Figure 4.62: Wheel Drives – 10 Bolt
2. Remove two bolts (A) at the center of the drive wheel.
3. Remove cap (B) and flip it over so that the convex side
faces in. The cap depresses a pin which disengages the
wheel drive.
4. Reinstall bolts (A) to secure cap (B).
5. Repeat Step 2, page 146 to Step 4, page 146 on the other
drive wheel.
6. To engage the wheel drives: reverse cap (B). Ensure that
the pin at the center of the wheel pops out to engage the
wheel drive.
NOTE:
Engaging the wheel drives may require rocking the wheels
slightly.
