ROTOR BLADE A
IMPORTANT! The paddle blades, located on the balance rings
inside the chopper, must be installed in the direction shown (A).
The straight edge of the blade cuts the air while the paddle trails
behind & pushes the air.

1. The blades for your chopper must be installed as outlined.

Note: If blades are installed other than as directed, damage to
the chopper may result or performance may be significantly A
reduced.
1) Always replace blades two pairs at a time, directly opposite
each other through the center of the rotor. This should maintain rotor
balance. Never replace only one blade for wear or breakage. You
do not need to replace the corresponding two pairs on the other end
of the rotor.
2) If a blade breaks and the chopper must be operated without a
replacement then the damaged blade and the one directly opposite it
must both be removed to maintain rotor balance.
3) Use only METRIC class 10.9 bolts (B) and class 10.9 DIN980V
D
steel lock nuts (F) on the chopper rotor.
4) Use a torque wrench to tighten all M12 nuts to the recommend-
ed 69 ft-lb. D
5) Always check for adequate clearance between the installed F
blades and the stationary knives. A minimum of 1/4” is required.
Check clearance of all blades, even those that are not replaced. Do
not operate the straw chopper unless this clearance is maintained for C C
all blades.

Rotor (MAV - 300/310)
1. Remove the straw chopper from the combine.
(See JD User Manual, Pg 65-5)

2. Remove the drive pulley, the shaft speed sensor disk,

and both lock collars from the straw chopper shaft.

3. Remove both bearings from the rotor.

-Try to avoid damaging the bearings as new bear-
ings are not included in your retrofit kit.

4. Remove drive end wall from the straw chopper to al-

low removal of the factory rotor.

5. Install the Redekop upgrade rotor into the chopper

housing making sure that the blades are oriented in the
position shown (A).

6. Reassemble straw chopper. If your chopper does

not have sliding tracks, fan shrouds should be installed
before mounting chopper.

Before tightening the bearing lock collars, align

the rotor so the rotor blades are centered between
the stationary blades. After tightening lock collars,
recheck each individual blade to ensure that there
is adequate clearance between it and the stationary
blades.

Floor Extension
1. Hold the floor extension in place against the end the
the chopper floor as shown (B). Adjust the position of the
extension so the residue, when coming off the chopper
floor, is angled to hit the top of the fins at the back of the
tailboard.

2. Corresponding holes may exist in the chopper side

walls that can be used to fasten the floor extension. If
holes do not exist they must be drilled.

3. Fasten the floor extension to the chopper side walls.

Stationary Knife Bar Reinforcment
For factory knife bars with straight stationary blades
only.

Note:
The parallel blade rotor design used with the
Redekop rotor results in higher forces acting on the B
stationary knives. As a result, the center section of
the knife bar can twist, and the knives may eventu- A
ally cut into the chopper floor. To prevent this pos-
sible damage, it is recommended that the knife bar E
be reinforced as outlined in this section.

Remove the knife bar from the chopper by removing the

bolt at each end of the bar.
C
D

Position the knife bar as shown (A) with the open side of
the bar facing up. It is this open side that is reinforced.

F
Place the reinforcement bar on the knife bar as shown
(B). The reinforcement bar should rest on the station-
ary knives. Hold the reinforcement bar against the 3/8”
round rod already welded to the knife bar. Tack weld the
reinforcement to the round rod in three places. Clamp
the knife bar against each reinforcement tab and spot
weld at each of the three tabs.

The reinforcement bar should be securely welded to

the knife bar at both ends of the reinforcement bar (C),
at each of the three tabs (D), and 1.5 inch beads spaced
every 6 inches along the round 3/8” rod (E).

Rear Panel
Roll the chopper forward to verify if the rear panel (F) G
must be modified to clear the newly mounted shrouds
(H). If the chopper does not move freely to the windrow-
ing position cut sufficient material off the ends of the
panel (G).

spreading width is unsatisfactory using
the factory tailboard. Make the following
adjustments if an increased spread width
of 30 ft or more is desired.

The factory tailboard is modified to achieve the maxi-

mum spreading performance with the Redekop MAV
technology by rearranging existing fins and adding one
31” fin. See illustration for new hole locations & fin
placement.

Modify tailboard by relocating fins 2 & 4. Place fin 2 in

the outermost position, position 4. Drill hole at the front
of the fin. Place fin 4 in position 2. Drill holes where
needed. Install the 31” long Redekop fin between posi-
tion 3 & 4.

Appendix: 2 - Taper Hub Installation

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS IN THIS INSTALLATION

To Install Bushing:
1. Remove all paint, oil grease, etc. from tapered surface of bushing and bore of mating part.

2. See Standard mounting assembly - Figure 1.

NOTE: If bushing does not slide freely on shaft, wedge a screwdriver blade into the saw cut and the
flange OD to open the bore of the bushing. Caution: Excessive wedging will split the bushing.

3. Standard Mount – Slide bushing on shaft, flange first. If using the setscrew, snug it against the key.
Excessive Torque will cause mating part to be eccentric. Position mating part in place on bush-
ing aligning drilled holes in mating part with tapped holes in bushing flange. Using lock washers, install
capscrews thru the mating hub and into the bushing flange. (Note: S bushings can only be Standard
Mounted. Be sure the three tapped holes in the mating hub do not align near the bushing saw cut. If they
do, rotate the bushing 60 degrees.).

4. Use A Torque Wrench. Tighten all capcrews evenly and progressively in rotation to the torque value
listed in the table. Excessive wrench torque, closing the gap between the bushing flange and mating
hub, or the use of lubricants will break the mating hub.

To Remove Bushing:
1. Loosen and remove all capscrews.

2. For Standard Mount, thread capscrews into tapped holes in mating part to jack against bushing flange.
Tighten bolts evenly and progressively in rotation to separate the two components.

3. Loosen setscrew to slide bushing from shaft.
