T O T H E P U R C H A S E R Your new cotton
picker was built to rigid manufacturing
standards. Material and workmanship are the best.
It will serve you in direct pro- portion to the
care you give it. Depreciation, in a machine of
this kind, is an item of expense that must be
considered. How long it will last and con- tinue
its good work is a matter entirely in your
hands. The way you operate your cotton picker and
the care you give it have much to do with the
service and satisfaction you will get from it.
This manual has been carefully prepared and
illustrated to show you what to do and when to do
it. It explains the adjustments that are built
into the machine and gives instructions on when
and how to make these adjust- ments. The
information given in these Manuals will afford a
clear under- standing of the fundamentals of
cotton picker harvesting. The best use of
these fundamentals to suit the conditions
in which the machine is operating is a
responsibility that is completely up to the
operator. If you find you need information not
covered in this manual or if your cotton picker
requires special servicing, take advantage of
the facilities offered by your John Deere dealer.
He has trained mechanics, who are kept informed
on the best methods of servicing and can give
you prompt, know-how service in the field or in
his shop. Location References. Right! and
Left, Front and Rear refer to the
operator's Right or Left and Front or
Rear when facing the same direction machine is
headed or traveling. Clockwise refers to a
shaft, screw, or similar part turning to the
operator's Right, or like the hands of a clock.

• The No. 22 is a practical one -row cot- ton
  picker. The operating costs are low. It is easy
  to handle and transports fast. Attaching and
  detaching can be done quicklywithout coatly
  tractor conver- sion.
• The piclrer consists of three basic ele- ments.
• One-Row Picking Unit
• Platform and Controls
• Fan Delivery System and Basket
• These three basic components are mounted in such
  a wa'y that the trac- tor operates in reverse
  gear during thg picking operation. For
  transporting, the picker is drivtn from the
  tractor seat, using the regular tractor for- ward
  specda.
• PICKING UNIT.
• The heart of the picker is the high1'y efficient
  spindle-typr picking unit. There are two drums of
  spindles. The front drum consists of 16 cam-
  controlled spindle columns with 14 spindles on
  each column of the low-drum and 20 spindles on
  each column of the high-drum.
• There ia a doffer asae mbly for each spindle drum
  to unwind the cotton from the spindles and
  deliver it to a chute in the side door. Each
  assembly consists of a shaft with a series of
  aluminum atloy doffer plates that have rubber
  doffers motded to the plates. The low-drum
  unit has 14 doffers per shaft the high-drum unit
  has 20.
• There is also a spindle moistener column for each
  spindle drum that wiper each spindle with water
  to keep it clean for a better job of picking
  cotton.
• The stalls lifters guide the cotton plant into
  the picking zone of the unit where the grid bars
  and pressure plates tame over to hold the plant
  in position for picking.

HOW THE PICKING UNIT WORKS. Knowing what ia
going on inside the picking unit will be a great
help to you. It will give you a better
understanding of the capabilities and limita-
tions of a meehanica1 cotton picker. You will
also know why certain ad- justments are necessary
and when to make the adjustments. The
illustration on the next page shows what happens
during the picking cycle. At A the spindles go
under the moisteners and are cleaned of lint,
plant sap and stain by a film of water. Next the
cleaned spindles atart through the grid bara at
B. The speed of the spindle drums is
synchronized with the picking speed of the
tractor (2-1/2 milea per hour) ao the spindles
have no forward or backward motion in relation to
the cotton plant. The rotating spindles simply
poke straight into the cotton plant and then
pull straight back. Because of this, the
spindles can brush past unopened bolls and the
stalks, leaving them un- damaged. At C the
spindles are all the way out and wrap the cotton
fibre onto the spindle barba. Then the spindles
move back through the grid bara, pulling the
cotton out of the open bolls and through the grid
bars as shown at D. AtE the cotton is being
removed from the spindles by the dofler. The
spindles move backwards under the dofi'er plates
so the doffer pads can unwind the cotton from the
spindles. PLATFORM AND CONTROLS. You are right on
top of the picking operation when at the controls
of the 2 2 Cotton Picker. You are up high out of
the dust and dirt. The plat- form is centered
above and between the rows for maximum visibility
of everything that is going on. All controls are
within easy reach. Just make a couple of trips up
and down a field and you will be perfectly at
home on this cotton picker.

what ffappeti i fn ride the Mic his g tin it FAN
DELIVER Y 5 Y5TEM AND BASKET. A powerfu1
doubie-rotor fan provides individual suction for
each picking drum. The cot ton is sucked out of
the picking unit through telescoping tubes to
the fan and then is blown into the basket. The
fan has spiral-shaped blades so the cotton is
handled with the least amount of damage to the
seed. The big-capacity basket will hold 800
pounds of seed cotton so you will have to dump it
fewer times during a day. Two powerful
double-acting hydraulic cylinders raise and lower
the basket for dumping. The lid opens and closes
automatically as the basket is raised and lowered.

GENERAL INFORMATION. The regular tractor
controls are used for starting and transporting
the cotton picker. These controls are
described in your tractor Operator's Manual.
The controls that are peculiar to the 22 Cotton
Picker are de- scribed here. The controls for
operating the cotton picker in the field are
located on the operator's platform. The high,
roomy platform provides a good view of the
picking unit. THROTTLE LEVER. The thro ttle
lever is located on the left of operator's
platfor m and is connected directly to the
tractor speed control lever. Pushing the lever
forward increases the engine speed, pulling it
back decreases the speed. When the cotton picker
is mounted on a tractor with a transmission-
driven powershaft, another linkage is hooked up
to this lever to turn on the supply of water to
the picking unit when the throttle is
opened. GEARSH IFT LEVER. The gearshift lever
controls the tractor transmission speeds. One
speed forward and one speed in reverse is
available on the cotton picker oper- ator's
platform. When transporting, this lever is
disconnected and the normal tractor speeds are
available.
10
MAIN CLUTCH LEVER. The main clutch lever is
located on the right of operator's platfor m. It
is operated in the same manner as the regular
tractor clutch lever to con- nect and disconnect
the engine with the transmission. On tractors
with transmission-driven power take-off, the
main clutch lever also controls the tractor
power take-off, which operates the picking
unit. The powershaft shift lever on the tractor
must be engaged first. POWE RSHAFT CLUTCH
LEVER. This lever, on the left-hand side of the
seat, is used only when the trac- tor has an
engine-driven powershaft. The lever engages the
tractor power take-off clutch to operate the
pick- ing unit, and also turns on the water
supply to the picking unit. BRAKES. Individual
foot-operated brakes make possible short turns
to the right or left. To assure safe stops at
high transport speeds, apply the brakes evenly
to avoid pulling the picker to one side. PICK
ING UNIT LIFT LEVER (520, 620, and 720
Tractors This lever, located on the right of the
operator's platform, is used to raise and lower
the picking units. By means of this lever the
tractor hy- draulic system is used to set the
picking units at any desired height within the
range of the lifting mechanism. BASKET LIFT
LEVER (520, 620, and 720 Tractors
Only). This lever, located on the left side of
the operator's platform, is used to raise and
lower the basket. To raise the basket move the
lever up to lower the basket move the lever
down. PICKI NG UNIT AND BASKET LIFT LEVER ON
50, 60, 70, A, AND G TRACTORS
ONLY. This lever, located on the right of the
operator's platform, is used to raise and lower
the picking units and dump the cotton basket. By
means of this lever the tractor hydraulic system
is used to set the picking units at any desired
height within the range of the lifting mechanism,
and also empty the cotton basket.
11
8 HYDRAULIC CIRCU IT SELECTOR LEVER ON 50
60 70, A, AND G TRACTORS ONLY. This
lever, on the left-hand side of the operator's
seat, determines the path of oil flow in the
hydraulic system. When the lever is up, only the
tractor rockshaft can operate to raise and lower
the picking unit. When the lever is down, the
basket is raised as the picking unit is raised,
and the basket lowered as the picking unit is
lowered. When lowering the basket, hold the
picking unit and basket lift lever down until the
relief valve opens (the valve will chatter when
open). Then pull the selector lever up and return
the lift lever to neutral position. Never let the
relief valve operate for more than a fe w
seconds. The picking unit has to be raised
before transporting. PICKING UNIT STOP SCREW. "'
The picking unit stop screw determines the
height at which the picking unit will operate.
Once the stop screw is adjusted for the cotton
being picked, the unit can be returned to exactly
the same picking height after being raised
without any guesswork by the operator.

KNOW YOUR COTTON PICKER. Before starting to
pick cotton, read this manual. The information
in it is the result of years of experience in the
design and operation of mechanical cotton
pickers. We want you to be happy with your new
,ohn Deere 22 Cotton Picker. We know it will do
good work for a long time if operated and
adjusted properly. This manual tells you how to
get the splendid performance and long life
out of the picker that has been designed and
built into it. BREAKING IN THE NEW COTTON
PICKER. Lubricate the entire picker before
starting for the first time. See pages 18 through
26. Check all drive belts carefully for proper
alignment and tension. Keep belts tight enough
to prevent slippage. Belts can be ruined very
quickly if allowed to slip in the grooves.
Excessive heating of a sheave is a sign of belt
slippage. New belts will stretch slightly after
the final run-off. Check tension frequently. Be
sure all shafts turn freely. Run the picker for
three hours with the engine throttle open just
enough so picker will run smoothly. This will
allow the moving parts to work in gradually.
After a short run at slow speed, stop the picker
and inspect it completely for loose bolts,
heating bearings, binding parts, loose belts,
etc. Start the picker again and complete the
three-hour slow-speed run. Then bring the picker
up to a full throttle speed and run it at this
speed for at least 15 minutes. After the full
speed run-off, again inspect the picker for loose
bolts, heating bearings, or similar undesirable
conditions.

10 O FERATION OF THE COTTON rlCKER

• BEFORE-OPERATION CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS.
• Careful inspection of the cotton picker and
  tractor before starting work each day will
  prevent needless delays and breakdowns in the
  field. Make the following checke and adjustments.
• Make the usual before-operation checks of the
  tractor. See your Tractor Operator's Manual for
  detailed instructions.
• Wash out the area around the doffers and
  moisteners. Sand lodged in the fluted moistener
  pads will cause excessive spindle wear.
• Check the grid bars. IN necessary, adjust their
  position between the rows of spindles to prevent
  wear.
• Lubricate the cotton picker. See the in-

utu

• structions on pages 18 through 26.
• Check water level in the water supply tank
  for the moisteners.
• Inspect belts and chains for proper tension and
  alignment. Be sure there are no loose bolts or
  missing cotter pins.

OPERATION OF THE COTTON PICKER
14
S A F E T V S U G G E S T I O N S The safety of
the operator was one of the prime considerations
in the minds of John Deere engineers when this
cotton picker was designed. Proper shield- ing,
convenient controls, simple adjustments, and
other safety features have been built into the
cotton picker for your protection. However,
investigation of thousands of farm acci- dents
show that careless use of farm machinery
causes nearly one third of all farm accidents.
You can make your farm a safer place to live and
work if you observe the safety suggestions
given below. Insist that they be followed by
those working with you and for you. All
machinery should be operated only by those
who are re- sponsible and have been delegated to
do so. Only the operator should be allowed on the
operator's platform when the cotton picker is in
motion. Keep the operator's platform clean. Do
not use it as a place to carry loose tools,
lunch boxes, etc. Don't apply the brakes too
quickly when traveling over rough ground. Never
operate the picker close to the edge of a ditch
or creek. Back down steep grades to avoid
possibility of nosing over forward. Do not oil,
grease, or adjust the picker when it is in
motion. Refill the radiator only when the engine
of the tractor is idling. Be careful of steam
pressure back of the radiator cap to avoid being
scalded when the cap is removed. Replace badly
frayed or worn belts before they break. When
moving on a highway keep as far to the right as
possible. Hang a red ffag prominently on the rear
of the cotton picker when transporting during
the day. Never transport at night unless the
cotton picker is equipped with lights and they
are in good working order.
18
These fundamentals, in brief, are 1. The mature
open bolls must be se- lected and picked
cleanly while the im- mature boils and plants
are left undamaged.
'''-

• Cotton bolls seldom ripen and open
• all at one time. Therefore, a field is normally
  picked two or three times before the entire field
  is harvested.
• The use of a wetting agent in the water will
  distribute the water more evenly on the spindle.
  Also, less water will be required. NOTE John
  Deere wetting agertt is recornzzsended , however,
  regardless of what agent s used, follow the
  manufacturers instructions when using the
  wetting agent. Watch for spindle corrosion. If
  corrosion is detected, usea different wetting
  agent or operate picker without a wetting
  agertt.
• The ideal picking condition is when the cotton
  bolls are well open, clean and fluffy.
• Defoliation is recommended to get greater picking
  efficiency, cleaner cotton, and less leaf and
  trash, resulting in a better grade of cotton.
• The proper harvest date depends almost
  entirely on crop and weather conditions.
• - The ground should be firm enough to provide
  good traction without excessive wheel slippage.
  This is important because the speed of the
  picking mechanism is accurately timed with the
  forward ground speed of the picker. Wheel
  slippage reduces ground travel, destroying
  the synchronization between picking speed and
  ground speed, which can cause the stripping of
  unopened green bolls and excessive plant
  mutilation.
• - Proper preparation of cotton fields for
  mechanical harvesting will mean less trouble and
  more profitable operation. Fields should be kept
  clean and free from roots, stones, bricks, and
  other foreign material.
• 9 Do a good job of cultivating. Weeds and
  grass do not affect the mechanical operation of a
  spindle-type cotton picker but will cauee more
  trash and foreign material to be mixed with the
  cotton in the basket, making it more difficult to
  gin, usually resulting in a lower grade.

19
The degree of satisfaction given by this
cotton picker depends upon the carefulness
and alertness of the operator. Once the picker
has been adjusted to meet the crop condition,
the rest is up to the operator. Approach a row of
cotton so the cotton enters the center of the
picking unit. Engage the picking unit drive in
time for the unit to be operating at full speed
when it encounters the plant.
Hit the cotton - Don't m iss it
We recommend picking cotton in lands of 20 to 30
rows. Operate the picker so the left-hand wheel
runs in cotton that has been picked. Keep
watching for stones, bricks, and other foreign
objects. Running a brick through a picking
unit can cause all kinds of damage. Raise the
picking unit to the highest position when
turning at the end of a row. Also raise the pic'
ing unit whenever it is necessary to back up in a
cotton field. Adjust the picking unit stop so the
bottom of the picking unit will be at leaat one
inch above the ground. If crop conditions permit,
operate the unit even higher so the spindles
work as far as possible from the abrasive soil.
Some low-hanging cotton boils may be missed, but
most owners of mechanical cotton pickers realise
that the small amount of additional cotton saved
will not offset the cost of the additional wear
on a picking unit operated close to the
ground. An operator who chooses to run the pie'
ing unit on or very near the ground should do so
with the full knowledge that he is greatly
decreasing the life of the spindles and all the
other working parts of the picking unit because
of the greatly increased amount of abrasive dirt
that is pic' ed up. Watch the quality of the
cotton being picked. If you are getting too
much dirt and trash, you may be operating the
picking units too low. Make sure the cotton in
the basket is not too wet. Wet cotton is
difficult to gin, which can result in lower
grades. Use only enough water to keep the
spindles clean. Use a wetting agent. (See page 38
for more information about the spindle
moisteners.)
DO NOT TRAMP DOWN COTTON IN THE BASKET
20
USING THE PICKER IN THE yIELD
Another thing to watch constantly is the kind of
a picking job that is being done. Too much cotton
may be missed. The picker may be dropping open
bolls or knocking off green bolls. The cotton may
be just getting tagged instead of picked
cleanly. If any of these faults are noticed, stop
the picker, find the cause of the trouble, and
make the necessary adjustments. The trouble
shooting chart on pages 53 through 63 is your key
to better picking. I t is a q ui c k, e asy guide
to pic kin g troubles and their correction.
n o plovv- Soq out of the dirt!
Stop at the end of a row and open the doors on
the pic king unit. Clean off the inside of the
doors so the picked cotton can be easily sucked
through the fan and blown into the basket. Nevec
tramp or pack the cotton in the basket. This will
work trash and dirt into the cotton, lowering the
grade you will get. Be careful, when getting
ready to empty the basket, not to hit the Ieft-
hand suction duct guard with the tractor or
truck. Never open the throttle more than haIfway
when raising the basket. Never drive the picker
with the basket raised. You could tip over the
picker very easiIy. Inspect the fan rotor and the
inside of the fan housing once a day. Clean out
any dirt, trash, or plant sap that has
accumulated. Always use clean water in the
moistening system to prevent clogging the water
lines. Please keep in mind that there are many
complicating factors in the picking of cotton.
Some of them can be eliminated by having your
picker in good condition and adjusted properly.
Other factors can be handled by
a ski11fu1, alert operator. But the ultimate of
100 picking of cotton that will be given the
highest grade at the gin can never be reached.
Cotton ripens un- evenly. Weather changes
between pick- ings can affect both the grade of
cotton and ease of picking. Keeping the amount of
dirt and trash in the basket to a minimum
means you u'ill have to miss some of the
low-hanging bolls. Another factor to consider is
depreciation of your picker. Scrapping low-yield
cotton may cost you more in the way of wear and
tear on the picker than the cotton is worth. What
you want to do is pick the most high-grade cotton
at the lowest possible cost. You J hn Deere 22
Cotton Picker will achieve that goal better than
any comparable picker on the market.
