John Deere Combine Mount

AWS combine mount systems are available for all JD 9000, 10, 50, 60, and S.T.S. series machines. The quiet, ready to install AWS fan is located on the right hand side of the combine and driven off the combine's primary counter shaft. Simple AWS single belt drive chassis with adjustable, spring-loaded tensioners provides long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.

In 1998 AWS set a new industry standard with the first ever combine-mounted fan. Driving directly from the combine's primary counter shaft ensures the most efficient use of power. A drive pulley was designed to mount to the existing primary shaft and drive the AWS fan. A single 3-groove banded belt feeds through the right front panel to drive the AWS fan assembly. On 9000 and 10 series machines a mounting beam is installed for the fan to sit on. On John Deere 50, 60, and S.T.S. machines, the decking on the right hand side of the combine easily accommodates the AWS fan assembly.

The unique mounting location leaves an unrestricted view from the operator's seat. The quiet, efficient AWS fan features a durable baked on finish and is protected by a stationary or optional rotary inlet screen. A rugged shield protects the inlet screen from debris thrown by the drive tires.

Air is delivered to the out front AWS manifold through a pre-charge tube that routes across the feeder house. It features a quick-header disconnect and choice of electric or manual fan baffle control. Holes in the pre-charged tube jet air forward across the feeder house preventing material build-up for an unobstructed view of the cutter bar.

Our John Deere combine mount fans are complemented with a header-completing package. This package contains components specifically designed to work with John Deere heads ensuring the effectiveness of not only the AWS system, but the head as well. All AWS header components are powder painted and bolt on, installing with little or no modification to the head.

The simple, light-weight removable out front AWS manifold is supported at each end of the header with AWS mounting brackets that bolt on to the reels existing mounting arms. This truly unique concept allows the manifold to be adjusted independent of the reel for a variety of crops. Once the manifold is set in position, relative to the reel position it then moves as one complete unit with the reel. This gives the operator greater flexibility as to the location of the air. Direction of airflow is controlled from the cab with an electric actuator mounted at the end of the manifold.

Functionality and attention to detail of the AWS system is second to none.
