Replacing Drive Chain On Double Reel; Replacing Chain Using The Reel Drive Method - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

5.9.6 Replacing Drive Chain on Double Reel

Refer to the following two methods for replacing the drive chain on a high torque double-reel drive:
• Replacing Chain Using the Reel Drive Method, page 219
• Replacing Chain Using Breaking the Chain Method, page 221
NOTE:
Both procedures are acceptable, but disconnecting the reel drive method is preferable because it doesn't
affect the chain's integrity.

Replacing Chain Using the Reel Drive Method

1. Loosen the drive chain, refer to
page 211.
2. Support the inboard end of the right reel with a front end
loader and nylon slings (A) (or equivalent lifting device).
IMPORTANT:
Avoid damaging or denting the center tube by
supporting the reel as close to the end disc
as possible.
3. Remove the four bolts (A) securing the reel tube to the
U-joint flange (B).
