STEP 5. REPOSITION CASTER
WHEELS (BOLTED
FRAME)
As an option, the rear casters can be adjusted to
a narrow tread width to allow loading and
shipping without having to remove them.
narrow tread width also suits smaller headers by
allowing more space to the uncut crop and
provides more maneuverability around poles,
irrigation inlets, or other obstacles.
tread width is useful in heavy crops that produce
large windrows so that run-over is reduced.
a. Raise rear of windrower slightly so that most of
the weight is off the casters, using a jack or
other lifting device under the frame where
shown.
NOTE
Lifting device should have a lifting
capacity of at least 5000 lb (2270 kg).

b. Remove six bolts (four on backside, two on
underside) and washers from left and right side
of walking beam.
c. Slide extensions outboard equal amounts and
align holes at desired location.
NOTE
Illustration shows widest tread width.
