Hydraulic Plumbing Snout Cones
The source for the hydraulics is the reel drive which is found on the side of the feeder house of the combine. The
hydraulic diagram details how the hydraulic hoses are attached. The hydraulic motors will use the 6400-08-10,
which is a straight fitting and converts from a #10 O-ring fitting to a #8 JIC male fitting. Use the fitting in both
ports of both hydraulic motors. Be sure the fittings are tightened properly. Locate the correct hydraulic tips for the
combine hydraulic system available. The adapter fitting 6400-08-10 or 6400-08-08 will adapt from the O-ring
fitting of the tip to a male JIC fitting. Tighten the adapter fittings into the tips properly. Find the hose with the red
tie. This hose will be the "supply" hose to the left side hydraulic motor. Attach one end of the hose to the motor
adapter fitting located on the right port of the motor. This will be the hydraulic in. Now, locate the hose with the
white tie. Attach the female JIC end to the adapter fitting on the left side of the hydraulic motor (hydraulic out port).
Route the hose along the top frame of the combine head.
Locate the hose with the blue tie. The hose will connect to the white tie hose on one end and the other end will
connect to the left side port of the right motor. The port is labeled "Hyd. In "on the diagram. The final hose to
attach is the hose with no tie. This hose is the return hose to the hydraulic block of the combine. One end of the
hose will connect to the right side port of the right motor labeled "Hyd. Out" on the diagram and the other end will
connect to the tip that will fit into the combine port using 6400-08-10 or the 6400-08-08 adapter fitting. Check to
make sure all the hydraulic connections are tight before the equipment is operated.
Hydraulic Plumbing Reel and Snout Cones
The Snout Cones can be operated with the Crop Sweeper reel or the Corn Reel. Please refer to the "Hydraulic
Plumbing Crop Sweeper to Snout Cones" diagram. The hydraulic reel motor will connect to the hydraulic oil supply
from the combine using the hydraulic hose that came with the reel. Next, the return line of the reel hydraulic motor
(also came with the reel) will connect to the red tie hydraulic hose of the Snout Cone kit. The JIC union will make
this connection. The red tie hose will connect to the left Snout Cone motor on the right port. Locate the white tie
hose from the Snout Cone kit. The white tie hydraulic hose will connect to the left port of the left Snout Cone
hydraulic motor (return side). The other end of the white tie hydraulic hose will connect to the blue tie hydraulic
hose that is in the Snout Cone kit. The hoses should connect together with their respective JIC connections. The
blue tie hydraulic hose will connect to the right side Snout Cone hydraulic motor at the left port. The final hydraulic
hose will be the hydraulic hose with no tie. Connect the hydraulic hose with no tie to the right side Snout Cone
hydraulic motor at the right port. Connect the other end of this hose to the combine return line. Be sure to check all
the hydraulic connections making sure they are tightened. When the test run is performed, if the reel or the Snout
Cones turn in the wrong direction, check the hoses to make sure they are in the correct port.
