• Accessing counter knives for removal and replacement
Common questions covered in this video:
How do you access the remote counter knife bank? Disengage the rods on both sides, raise and secure the windrow board, and open the flip-up access panel.
How do you prepare the counter knife bank for service? With the engine on, use Run Screen 5 to retract the counter knife bank fully to 0%.
Why must the counter knife bank be fully retracted? Full retraction aligns the retaining rod with the hole in the side of the machine so the rod can be ejected.
How are the counter knives removed or replaced? Eject the aligned retaining rod through the side of the machine to gain access to the counter knives.
Which machines are covered? This procedure applies to New Holland CR10 and CR11 combines equipped with the high-hood-mounted residue system.
Timestamped transcript:
0:00 All right. So, this is looking at the residue system in a fully operational state.
0:14 Our goal in this portion is to review the accessibility and serviceability of the counter knife bank.
0:20 The first step is to move the windrow board into a fully upright position.
0:25 There is a gas strut attached to it, so I am going to remove that.
0:33 Right there, it is fully disengaged. We have done that on both sides, so both rods are disengaged.
0:42 In this state, that will allow us to flip up the windrow board using the gas strut.
0:50 Lift that up.
0:55 In this state, the windrow board is lifted up and out of the way using the gas struts. We place the link arms on the windrow boards.
1:04 Next, we are going to open access to the counter knife bank with the flip-up panel.
1:17 Now we have full access to the counter knife bank.
1:20 The last step, which has already been completed, is to fully retract the counter knife.
1:26 The engine has to be on, and we use Run Screen 5 to retract the counter knife bank fully to 0%.
1:35 This also moves the counter knife bank so that the rod holding the counter knives in position lines up with the hole in the side of the machine.
1:41 The rod can then be ejected through the side, giving us access to remove and replace the counter knives.
