Drive Chain Difficulties

Symptom Problem Solution

Prematurely failed drive chains

Lack of lubrication.

Lubricate chains, every 10 hours, after operation when chains are still warm. (See EVERY 10 HOURS in Lubrication and Maintenance section.)

Operating too tight or too loose.

Adjust chain tension. (See ADJUSTING LOWER AND UPPER ROLL DRIVE CHAINS in Service-Baler section.)

Misalignment of drive sprockets and idlers.

Align all sprockets and idlers. (See your John Deere dealer.)
