Safety Suggestions
Protect against the risk of personal injury and
ma- chine damage by operating implement only on
rpm PTO speed for which it is designed. Operate a
540 rpm implement only on a 540 rpm
PTO. Inexperience and lack of "know-how" in
repair and maintenance can result in personal
injury as well as equipment damage. Know what to
do and how to do it before attempting a
job. Always disengage PTO and shut off tractor
engine before dismounting from tractor. Make this
manual your guide and do what it rec- ommends,
regardless of what may have been your practice
with other makes of mower-conditioners, or the
suggestions that may be made to you by well-
meaning friends or neighbors. Escaping hydraulic
oil under pressure can cause personal injury
therefore, be sure all connections are tight and
that lines and hoses are not damaged. Be- fore
disconnecting lines in the mower-conditioner hy-
draulic system, be sure to relie ve all hydraulic
pressure. When driving the mower-conditioner on a
road or highway at night or during the day, use
accessory lights and devices for adequate warning
to operators of other vehicles. In this regard,
check local govern- mental regulations. Various
lights and devices are available from your John
Deere dealer. Clean the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle)
emblem before operat- ing or transporting the
mower-conditioner on a road or highway.
The safety of the operator was one of the prime
considerations in the minds of John Deere
engineers when this mower-conditioner
was designed. Shielding, simple adjustments, and
other safety features were built into the machine
wherever possible. You can make your farm a
safer place to live and work if you observe the
safety suggestions given. Study these suggestions
carefully and insist that they be followed by
those working with you and for you. All machinery
should be operated only by respon- sible persons
who have been delegated to do so. Before
starting, make sure bystanders are clear of the
mower-conditioner so they cannot be struck by
moving parts or caught in a drive belt or
chain. Never stand in back of the
mower-conditioner while it is operating. Never
clean, oil, or adjust the mower-conditioner with
the tractor engine running. Do not leave
mower-conditioner unattended with cutting
platform raised. Always lower it to the
ground. Be especially careful when operating on
hillsides, the mowef-conditioner may tip sideways
if it strikes a hole, ditch, or other
irregularity. Provide a first-aid kit for use in
case of accident. Use proper antiseptics on
scratches and cuts without delay. Replace badly
frayed or worn belts before they break. Never
attempt to clear obstructions off the cutting
platform unless the mower-conditioner is
stopped, and the tractor engine shut
off. Clothing worn by mower- conditioner o pe
rator shoul d be fa ml y tight and belted. Loose
jacke ts, skirts, shirts, or sleeves should
never be worn be- cause of the danger of the ir
getting into movin g parts. Be sure all drive
belt shields are in place and in good condition
before starting.

PREPARING THE MOWER-CONDITIONER
The Operator The degree of satisfaction given by
your mower- conditioner is directly dependent
upon the care given by the operator. Once the
mower-conditioner has been adjusted to meet the
crop condition, the rest is up to the
operator. Understanding the Function of Al)
Working Units This mower-conditioner is built to
handle a wide range of conditions. Field
conditions vary from year to year, from day to
day, and even from hour to hour. Difierent
varieties of crops present widely different
mowing and conditioning problems. A careful study
of the adjustments on your mower-conditioner, and
what they accomplish under different conditions,
will allow you to reap the many benefits and
economies that a mower-conditioner can
provide. Before starting your mower-conditioner
in the field, be sure you are thoroughly familiar
with the function of each working unit. Study the
illustrations carefully and become familiar with
the adjustments necessary to obtain best results.
Keep valve caps screwed finger-tight onto valve
stems. This will prevent dust, fine gravel, mud,
and other foreign material from accumulating in
the valve core and permitting the compressed air
to escape. keep wheel bolts tightened to 85
ft-lbs (115 Nm) (12 kgm) torque. Cneck tire
pressure frequently and inflate or deflate tires
to obtain proper air pressure as given in tire
inflation chart below. Tire Size 11L x
14 Pleasure 28 psi (1.9 bar 1.9
kg/cm) Operating Jack Stand
Checking Lubrication Check to see that your
mower-conditioner has been lubricated according
to lubricating instructions, pages 14 through 16.
Inflating Tires Proper inflation is essential to
the long lite of a tire. Lack of air pressure
allows the tire to slip on the rim and buckles
the side walls, resulting in torn valve stems and
uneven tread wear. Too much pressure causes undue
strain on tire structure and may result in
ruptures due to impact with stones, roots, or
ruts. It also causes excessive tread wear and
allows tire to cut in more on wet ground.
During operation or transporting, the jack stand
(located on the side of the tongue) is locked
firmly
out of the way by removing the spring locking and
holding pins then placing the stand in the
horizontal position on top mounting stud on
center of the tongue. Lock the stand in this
position with the hold- ing pin and the spring
locking pin.

FAdjusting Bolts
The center of the PTO shaft to the top of the
draw- bar (B) must be adjusted to from 6 to 12
inches (152 to 305 mm). The top of the rear end
of the drawbar should be 13 to 17 inches (330 to
432 mm) from the ground (C). The draw bar hitch
pin hole must be aligned vertically with the
centerline of the tractor power take-off shaft.
Adack Stand
When unhitching the tractor from the mower-condi-
tioner, remove jack (A) from transport position
and place in the vertical position and secure it
with the holding pin and spring locking pin.
Crank the stand down until it reaches the ground.
Several more turns will lift the tongue hitch
ball from the equalizer hitch pin, allowing you
to remove the equalizer hitch from the tractor
drawbar.
Attaching Hitch to Drawbar To attach equalizer
hitch (D) to tractor drawbar, slide hitch onto
tractor drawbar and secure with hitch pin and
Quik-Lock pin, with Ouik-Lock pin (E) on top.
PREPARING THE TRACTOR Your mower-conditioner can
be attached to any tractor having a drawbar and
power take-olt that conforms to ASAE-SAE
standards and having a 540 rpm power take-off
speed to match the powershaft speed of your
mower-conditioner.
Tighten bolts on top and side of equalizer hitch
un- til there is approximately 1/32-inch (0.76
mm) clear- ance between bolt and tractor drawbar.
Tighten jam nuts against hitch.
CAUTION Never operate 540 rpm mow-
j_at_ er-conditioner with 1000 rpm
tractor. Adjusting Tractor Drawbar IMPORTANT
Before attaching mower-condi- tioner to
tractor, be sure to adjust tractor draw- bar so
it measures 14 inches (356 mm) from the end of
the power take-off shaft to the hitch pin hole in
the drawbar.

IMPORTANT Xeep the hookup and powershaft
splines clean of paint, dirt, and chaff.
When pump (A) is removed from PTO, store on
tongue pin B) as shown.
OPERATING THE MOWER- CONDITIONER CAUTION Never
adjust mower-condition- ,_at__at_, er with power

Secure with the spring locking pin. IMPORTANT
Oo not pin or key the pump to the PTO shaft.
Correct operation results in saving more hay and
doing more work. The length of service you
receive from your mower-conditioner depends upon
thorough lubrication proper adjustment of belts,
chains, and use of correct operating adjustments
to meet varying crop conditions.
CAUTION Never operate the mower-con- ditioner
without pump strap or chain, as
Width of Cut Cut a swath within the capacity of
your forage har- vester, baler, etc. If a full
swath will overload your machine, a narrower
swath must be cut. Overloading means wasted crop,
high fuel consumption, and pos- sible repair
bills.
t
this could damage the pump and hoses.
After the mower-conditioner has been properly
hooked up, replace all shielding removed while
at- taching the pump. Attaching to Tractor
Hydraulic System Connect the two hoses from the
platform position- ing cylinder to the left-hand
hydraulic valve. Connect the lift cylinder hose
to the right-hand hydraulic valve.
Reel and PlaNorm Adustments Adjust the height of
platform and reel to meet crop conditions. Adjust
speed of reel to correspond with ground travel
speed.
Keep belts and chains adjusted to proper tension.
CAUTION Always operate tractor hydrau- lic
controls in slowest (turtle) position. Severe
injury to the operator and damage to the
hydraulic system may occur.
10
Operation 7
Cutterbar Knife Sections Use overserrated knife
sections in coarse, stiff- stemmed crops (sudex,
straw, alfalfa, clover). Underserrated knife
sections are used in fine- stemmed crops (wild
hay or bermuda grass) to pre- vent stuffing or
plugging of material along the cutter- bar. The
smooth knife sections are used in crops that are
fine stemmed and are prone to excessive juice
buildup from the cutting operation. The smooth
sec- tion provides a clean cut, if it is sharp,
but must be maintained in better condition than
other sections if satisfactory performance is to
be expected.

• The new machine should be given an empty run-
  ning breaking-in period ot at least 30 minutes
  to al- low the parts to work in gradually. After
  a short run at slow idling speed, stop machine
  and inspect it com- pletely, making a check for
  loose bolts, heated bear- ings, binding parts,
  chain tension, etc. Run the mower-conditioner at
  slow idling speed for the first 15 minutes, and
  increase to full speed for the rest ot the
  period. lnspect mower-conditioner frequently dur-
  ing the breaking-in period.
• IMPORTANT Do not engage PTO with engine running
  at high speed. To do so may cause un- due wear or
  possible breakage.
• Follow the lubrication instructions and charts
  close-
• ly
• Before Operation Checks and Adjustments
• Careful inspection and service of the
  mower-condi- tioner before starting work each day
  will prevent needless delays and possible
  breakdowns in the field. Make the following
  checks and adjustments
• Lubricate mower-conditioner according to lubri-
• cation section (see page 14).
• Check hydraulic unit oil level (see page 23).
• Check belts and chains for proper tension and
  alignment. See that there are no loose bolts to
  missing cottet pins.
• Inspect cutterbar for damaged knife sections and
• alignment of guards.

Ground Travel Speed Under most conditions, a
speed of 4 to 5 miles per hour (6 to 8 km/h) wiI
produce a good windrow, and not cause undue wear
on the mower-conditioner. Low travel speeds are
advisable when operating in down and tangled
crops. High travel speeds are sometimes used when
operating in a light, scattered crop. Avoid
excessive speed. A steady speed accomplishes
more. To make the best windrow in all conditions,
cut a straight swath. Breaking-in the
Mower-Conditioner After the mower-conditioner has
been completely assembled and connected to the
tractor, inspect it to be sure all bolts are
tight. A loose bolt may cause wear and make
premature replacement of parts nec- essary. Check
all V-belt and chain drives 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 of
a sheave for any length of time. Excessive
heating of a sheave is a sign of belt slippage.
New belts will stretch slightly during the run-in
period. Check tension fre- quently. Chain tension
should be adjusted so the chains are just tight
enough to run without climbing or jump- ing the
sprockets. Check operation ot platform hydraulic
controls.

8 Operation OPERATING THE MOWER-CONDITIONERCon
tinued Starting and Driving The 1214
mower-conditioner can also be maneu-
vered around obstructions without moving the
tractor. To do this, move remote cylinder
operating lever (using the slow position) until
obstruction is cleared.
Operate tractor engine to obtain the SAE rated
PTO speed. Running the engine at slow speed may
cause the mower-conditioner to clog when the crop
is heavy. Where difficult conditions make it
neces- sary to slow down the travel speed of the
tractor, shift to a lower gear rather than reduce
the engine speed. By shifting to a lower gear,
the engine will maintain its rated speed, which
will keep the rolls and cutterbar running at the
proper speed for best results.
The cutting platform can be positioned from
direct- ly behind the tractor to full operating
position.
Right-angle turns can be made without running
over the windrows by moving the platform to make
a full cut in each direction. OPERATING

Reel The ground travel speed of the
mower-conditioner and the crop condition will
determine the speed and the position of the reel
in relationship to the auger. The speed and the
vertical position of the reel can be adjusted to
insure a steady feed of material to the auger. A
cam on the reel can be adjusted so material is
released from the reel pickup teeth at the proper
time.

guard angle if working in rocky or rough areas
the 9 guard angle if working under normal
conditions and 12 guard angle if working on
flat ground with close-cut stubble (no rocks).
To adjust the guard angle it is necessary to
attach lift cylinder extension (A) in proper set
of holes on platform (B). For guard angle
required, see chart in right-hand column.

either or both the platform drive sprocket (A)
and adjusting reel drive pulley (B). Under normal
conditions, the standard 15-tooth sprocket should
be used to do the driving, which will vary the
reel speed from 61 to 78 rpm. For some crop
conditions, it may be necessary to use the
special 8-tooth sprocket for faster speeds of 73
to 93 rpm.
Reel speed will affect the cam adjustment. Fast
reel speed will require material to be released
sooner than will a slow reel speed.
To adjust cam, loosen the cam adjustment bolts on
left-hand reel support. Rotate top of cam forward
for a late material release, or rearward for an
early ma- terial release. Tighten bolts.

Operation 11
Adjusting Auger and Auger Stripper
Adjusting Conditioner Roll Pressure
Roll pressure is provided by a pressure spring on
top of the hay conditioner. Excessive roll
pressure results in unnecessary power
requirements and over- conditioning of the hay.
The conditioner is set for tough crops, such as
tim- othy, brome, etc. The spring is set at
47-3/8 inches (1 203 mm) outside-to-outside of
spring plugs at the factory. This setting extends
spring to m ake a 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) space
between coils. For tender crops, lower pressure
may be desired.
WBearing Mounting WAdjustment Bolts
The auger must always be positioned as low as the
auger strippers (A) permit. Proper feeding of the
ma- terial cannot be obtained unless the
strippers are close to the auger flighting.
Roll pressure may be increased or decreased by
loosening the look nut and turning the roll
pressure spring to increase or relieve spring
tension.
The position of the platform auger can be
adjusted vertically by the bearing mounting
plates (B) at each end of the auger.
To adjust auger vertically, loosen adjustment
bolts (C) at each end of the platform. Move plate
up or down to get proper clearance between auger
and strippers. Adjust both ends and tighten
adiustment bolts. Auger strippers may be mounted
in either the upper or lower positions in the
auger trough, depending on what type and how
heavy the material is. When work- ing in short,
thin material, the strippers should be mounted in
the upper position. When working in tall, heavy
material, strippers should be mounted in the
lower position. The auger strippers are standard
equipment and are adjustable by means of adding
wear strips to compen- sate for auger wear.
Adjust the strippers close to the auger by adding
E51544 wear plates for 12-foot (3 658 mm)
platform, or E47068 wear plates for 14-foot (4
267 mm) platform, which are available from your
John Deere dealer. Adding these wear plates will
prevent carryover of material.

• worn.
• Remove all chains and wash them in a solvent. Dry
  them well and coat with a heavy oil.
• Remove the tension from all belts and clean
  thoroughly.
• Support the platform with blocks to level it.
• Block up mower-conditioner under the wheel
  supports, taking load off tires. DO NOT DEFLATE
  TIRES. If exposed, cover the tires to protect
  them from light, grease and oil.
• List the replacement parts that will be needed
  and order them early. The dealer at this time can
  ex- pedite delivery of parts and install them
  during slack periods, thereby avoiding delays for
  the next mowing and conditioning season.

• BEGINNING OF THE
• SEASON SERVICE
• The mower-conditioner should be carefully
  checked before starting the season. By making
  cer- tain your mower-conditioner is in tip-top
  shape, you can avoid costly breakdowns during the
  season.
• Wipe excess heavy oil from the drive chains and
  lubricate with SAE 30W or heavier oil.
• Lubricate complete machine this will force any
  collected moisture out of the bearings. (See
  Lubrica- tion, page 14.)
• Check air pressure in tires. See page 4.
• Refill each gear case to check-plug level. (See
  Lubrication, page 16).
• Tighten all loose bolts, nuts, and set screws.
• If any major moving parts have been replaced,
  they should be run in.
• Check the oil level in hydraulic system

Lubrication and Periodic Service
EVERY 5 HOURS Cutterbar Knife Head
The economical and eñicient operation of any ma-
chine is dependent upon regular and proper
lubrica- tion of all moving parts with a quality
lubricant. The period recommended is based on
normal con- ditions severe or unusual conditions
may require more frequent lubrication or oil
changes. Clean grease fittings before using
grease gun. Re- place any lost or broken fittings
immediately. CAUTION Do not clean, lubricate, or
ad- d just your machine while it is in
motion. SYMeOLS Lubricate with John Deere
Multi-Purpose Lubricant or an equivalent SAE
multipur- pose-type grease at hourly intervals
indicat- ed on the symbols. Lubricate
periodically with SAE 10, 20, or 30 oil. Brush
periodically with John Deere Multi- Purpose
Lubricant or an equivalent SAE multipurpose-type
grease. AS REQUIRED
Lubricate with John Deere High-Temperature
grease or equivalent. EVERY 10 HOURS Chains IMPORT
ANT Liberally apply SAE 30 or heavier oil to
chains every 10 hours of operation. Lubricate
chains immediately after operation when the
chains are still warm. Let the machine stand idle
for a short period to insure effective oil
penetration, resulting in longer chain life.
