Hey guys Evan here with easycustomag. Like we talked about in our past videos we just got done running beans here the past couple days and I want to show you guys how to switch a John Deere S690 from beans to corn.
So the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to start here at the front of the combine on the feeder house and what we’ll do is we’ll pull this pin and Rotate the feeder house drum cam from the lower position to the up position There’s one of these handles on both sides and you’re probably going to need a pry bar Or some sort to take the pressure off that to go ahead and rotate that up The second thing
we’re going to do is you’ll disengage the feed accelerator belt At least they put this on a handle so you don’t have the 18 millimeter ratchet wrench going for a day and we’ll switch it From high speed what we were running it in beans To low speed for corn so we don’t damage those kernels as it comes to the feed accelerator The next thing we’re going to look at is your active tailings Want to make sure it should
have been in the corn position for beans anyways, but we want to make sure That it is in the corn position because you’ll probably have a lot of material going through there in the re -thresher Coming on back we’ve got our cob deflector.
This is a really easy one It should be in the wheat position for beans. We’ll pull this pin up top And it’ll slide right down to the corn position for corn We’ll come on around the chopper here to the other side of the machine We’re going to be looking at our chopper speed So as it shows It should have been on high speed for beans,
which is the the wheat icon, which is all the way out We’re going to push it all the way in to get it on corn It’s all the way in so we are good This one I’d already loosened the wingnut so it already fell out,
but our knife bank underneath To chop up our bean stems. We want that disengaged all you have to do is continue loosening that wingnut And there’s a handle here in the back That you push up if it doesn’t fall out itself to Disengage that knife bank Final thing we’re going to do here is we climb up on the step and good news for us is we have the extra step with the toolbox and we are going to take our rotor
speed go from second gear down to first gear and we do that by pushing the handle in and ensuring that it is engaged.
Okay we are good pretty simple process compared to if you were doing it on an 88 /20 but we are good on the outside to go ahead and run corn when we get inside here later today we will switch all of our settings on our command center from beans to corn and get everything working the way it needs to on the inside of the machine and we’ll take a video about that later so thanks guys
