TO THE PURCHASER
Your new cotton picker was built to rigid manu-
facturing standards. Material and workmanship
are the best. It will serve you in direct
proportion to the care you gi ve it.
Depreciation, in a machine of this kind, is an
item of expense that must be considered. How
long it will last and continue its good work is a
matter entirely in your hands. The way you
operate your cotton picker and the care you give
it have much to do with the service and
satisfaction you will get from it. This manual
has been carefully prepared and illustrated to
show you what to do and when to do it. It
explains the adjustments that are built into
the machine and gives instructions on when and
how to make these adjustments. The information
given in these Man- uals will afford a clear
understanding of the funda- mentals of cotton
picker harvesting. The best use of these
fundamentals to suit the conditions in which the
machine is operating is a responsibility that is
completely up to the operator.
If you find you need information not covered in
this manual or if your cotton picker requires
special servicing, take advantage of the
facilities offered by your John Deere dealer. He
has trained mechanics, who are kept informed
on the best methods of servicing and can
give you prompt, know-how service in the
field or in his shop. Location References.

DESCRIPTION
API ND LE UOF PER PLATE
A doffer assembly for each spindle drum unwinds
the cotton from the spindle and delivers it to a
chute in the side door. Each doffer assembly
consists of a shaft with a series of aluminum
alloy doffer plates that have rubber doffers
molded to the plates. Each unit has 10 doffers
per shaft.

• The No. 1 1 is a practical one-row cotton
  picker, The oper atinf'costs are low. I t is
  easy to handle and transports fast. Attaching and
  detaching can be done quicklywithout tractor
  conversion.
• The picker consiets of two basic elements.
• One-Row Picking Unit.
• Fan Delivery System and Basket.
• These basic components are mounted in such a way
  that the tractor operates in its regular forward
  gears during the picking operation.

He ie beo e r
T here is also a spindle moistener column for
each spindle dru m that wipes each spindle with
water to keep it clean for a better job of
picking cotton. The stall lifters guide the
cotton plant into the picking zone of the unit
where the grid bars and pressure plates take over
to hold the plant in position for picking.
The heart of the picker is the highly
efficient spindle-txpe picking unit. There are
two drums of spindles. Both the drums consist
of 12 cam-con- trolled spindie columns with 10
spindles on each column.

HOW THE PI CKI NG UNIT WORKS. Knowing what is
going on inside the picking unit will be a great
help to you. I t will give you a better
understanding of the capabilities and limitations
of a mechanical cotton picker. You will also know
why certain adjustments are necessary and when to
make the adjustments. The illustration below
shows what happens during the picking cycle. At
A the spindles go under the moisteners and are
cleaned of lint, plant sap, and stain by a film
of water. Next, the cleaned spindles start
through the grid bars at B. Thespeed of
the spindle drums is synchronized with the
picking speed of the tractor (2 or 2-1/4 miles
per hour, depending on the tractor
used) so the spindles have no forward or backward
motion in relation to the cotton plant. The
rotating spindles poke straight into the cotton
plant and then pull straight back. Because of
this, the spindles can brush past unopened
bolls and the stalks, leaving them
undamaged. At C the spindles are all the way
out and wrap the cotton fibre onto the spindle
barbs. Then the spindles move back through the
grid bars, pulling the cotton out of the open
bolls and through the grid bars as shown at
D. At E the cotton is being removed from
the spindles by the doffer. The spindles move
backwards under the doffer plates so the doffer
pads can unwind the cotton from the spindles.

D E S C R I P T I O N FAN DELIVERY SYSTEM AND
BASKET A powerful rotor fan provides individual
suction for each picking drum. The cotton is
sucked out of the picking unit suction doors,
through telescoping tubes to the fan and then is
blown against the cleaning grates in the
basket. The fan has spiral-shaped blades so the
cotton is handled with the least amount of damage
to the seed. The big-capacity basket will hold
600 pounds of seed cotton so you will have to
dump it fewer times during a day. A powerful
double-acting hydraulic cylinder raises and
lowers the basket for dumping. The lid opens and
closes automatically as the basket is raised and
lowered. ion Jgoor

OPERATION CONTROLS
The remote cylinder operating lever is used on
the 530," 630," 520, and 6 20 Tractors.
If the tractor is equipped with two remote
cylinders, the left hand lever will be uaed. Move
the lever to rear to dump the basket and
forward to return the basket into picking
position.
The regular tractor controls are used for all
oper- ations of the 11 Cotton P icker. That is,
no additional linkages and levers are required to
operate the picker. The tractor controls as
used with the cotton picker are described
below.
PICK ING UNIT LIFT LEVER. The picking un it lift
is controlled by the tractor hydr aulic
system. By means of the right-hand Touch-o-matic
lever on the 430" and 420 Tractors or the
rockshaft lever on the 530, 630," 520,
and 620" Tractors the picking unit can be raised
and lowered to any desired height within the
range of the quadrant stope. To raise the picking
unit, move the lever to the rear to lower the
unit, move the lever forward.
THROTTLE LEVER. Push the tractor throttle lever
to full speed position to obtain the proper
ground speed as well as proper powershaft speed.
On some tractors it is necessary to change the
governor setting as shown on page 30.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER The picker is designed for
operating at 2 or 2-1 ,'4 mph depending upon the
tractor being used. On the "430" and 420"
Tractors, first gear is used which will give the
picking speed of 2 mph. On 530," 630,"
520, and 6 20 Tractors, second gear is
used which will give 2-1/4 mph.
BASKET LI FT LEVER. The basket ia operated by a
double-acting hy- draulic cylinder which is
controlled by the remote cylinder control lever
on the 430" and 4 20 Trac- tors.

run. Then bring the picker up to a full throttle
speed and run it at this speed for at least 15
minutes. After the full speed run-off, again
inspect the picker for loose bolts, heating
bearings, or similar undesirable conditions.
Before starting to pick cotton, read this manual.
The information in it is the result of years of
experi- ence in the design and operation of
mechanical cotton pickers. We want you to be
satisfied with your new John Deere 11 Cotton
Picker. We know it will do good work for a long
time if operated and adjusted properly. This
manual tells you how to get the splendid
performance and long life out of the picker.
Careful inspection of the cotton picker and
tractor before starting work each day will
prevent needless delays and breakdowns in the
field. Make the follow- ing checks and
adjustments.
1. Make the usual before-operation checks of the
tractor. See your tractor Operator's Manual
for detailed instructions.
BREAKING IN THE NEW COTTON PICKER Lubricate the
entire picker before starting for the first time.
See pages 15 through 18. Check the drive chain
and the fan belt carefully for proper alignment
and tension. Keep the belt tight enough to
prevent slippage. Belts can be ruined very
quickly if allowed to slip in the grooves.
Excessive heating of a sheave is a sign of belt
slippage. New
2. Wash out the area around the doffers and
moisteners. Sand lodged in the fluted moistener
pads will cause excessive spindle wear.
3. Check the grid bars. If necessary, adjust
their position between the rows of spindles
to prevent wear. See page 19.

belts will stretch slightly after Check
tension frequently. Be sure all shafts turn
freely.
4. Lubricate the cotton picker. See the instruc-
tions on pages 15 through 18.
Run the picker for three hours with the engine
throttle open just enough so picker will run
smoothly. This will allow the moving parts to
work in gradually. After a short run at slow
speed, stop the picker and inspect it
completely for loose bolts, heating bearings,
binding parts, loose belts, etc. Start the
picker again and complete the three-hour
slow-speed
5. Fill the water supply tank. Use a
wetting agent if desired. (See page 1 2.)
6. Inspect fan belt and drive chain for proper
tension and alignment. Be sure there are no
loose bolts or missing cotter pins.

flow through moisteners. After making sure that
water is reaching all moistener pads, turn the
valves back to the No. "4" position. If the
selective moisture control system is being used
for dry picking, leave the water metering valves
wide open. Adjust the picking unit stop screw,
shown on page 27, so the bottom of the picking
unit will be at least an inch from the ground
when operating in the field. If crop conditions
permit, the unit should be oper- ated even higher
to permit the spindles to work as far from the
soil as possible.

TRANSPORTING When the cotton picker is being
moved along a highway, keep as far to the right
as possible. When traveling on a public road at
night or during periods of low visibility, be
sure the cotton picker has proper lights,
including a warning lamp at the extreme left-
hand side. Warning lamps have been made available
for installation on your tractor. These
lights wG warn other drivers that you are
traveling on the road thus protecting you and
others from injury or possible death. See your
John Deere dealer about the equipment he has
available. CAUTION The cotton picker is a
high, heavy machine be sure to reduce speed
when traveling over rough ground.
paration of the cooling system, crankcase, air
cleaner, and battery. In freezing weather,
disconnect the hose from the bottom of the
tank and drain the entire water supply
system at night. Then refill it before the
next day's operation.
DUMPING THE BASKET
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Move the basket lift lever to the rear position
to raise the basket and to the forward position
to lower the basket. Be sure the lever
returns to neutral position when tile basket is
down. Never open throttle more than halfway
when raising the basket. CA UTI ON Never drive
the picker with t he basket raised.
Special preparations must be made to operate a
cotton picker when the temperature is below 32
F. If these preparations are made properly, the
picker will give just as good service as when
operating in warm weather. Prepare the tractor
for cold weather operation, according to the
instructions in your tractor Oper- ator's
Manual. Pay particular attention to the pre-

SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
The safety of the operator was one of the prime
considerations of John Deere engineers when
this cotton picker was designed. Proper
shielding, con- venient controls, simple adj
ustments, and other safety features have been
built into the cotton picker for your
protection. However, investigation of thousands
of farm acci- dents show that careless use
of farm machinery causes nearly one-third of
all farm accidents. You can make your farm a
safer place to live and work if you observe the
safety suggestions given below. Insist that
they be followed by those working with you and
for you. All machinery should be operated only by
those who are responsible and have been
delegated to do so. Only the operator should be
allowed on the tractor or picker when the cotton
picker is in motion. Dont apply the brakes too
quickly when traveling over rough ground.
Never operate the picker close to the edge of a
ditch or creek. Do not oil, grease, or adjust the
picker when it is in motion. Refill the radiator
only when the engine of the tractor is idling. Be
careful of steam pressure back of the radiator
cap to avoid being scalded when the cap is
removed. Observe additional safety precautions
included in tractor Operator's Manual. Replace
badly frayed or worn belts before they
break. When moving on a highway, keep as far to
the right as possible. Hang a red flag
prominently on the rear of the cotton picker when
transporting during the day. Never transport at
night unless the cotton picker is equipped with
lights and they are in good working order.

• THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MECHANICAL COTTON PICKING
• a dijjerent setting agent or operate pick er
  without a setting agent.
• The ideal picking condition i8 when the cotton
  bolls are well open, clean, and fluffy.
• Defoliation is recommended to get greater
  picking efficiency, cleaner cotton, and less
  leaf and trash, resulting in a better grade of
  cotton.
• The proper harvest date depends almost en-
  tirely on crop and weather conditions.

7. The ground should be firm enough to provide
good traction without excessive wheel slippage.
This is important because the speed of the
picking me- chanism is accurately timed with the
forward ground speed of the picker. Wheel
slippage reduces ground travel, destroying the
synchronization between pick- ing speed and
ground speed, which can cause the stripping of
unopened green bolls and excessive plant
mutilation.
Successful mechanical cotton picking requires
a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of
cot- ton picking and intelligent use of the
cotton picker to meet the conditions in the field
being picked. These fundamentals, in brief, are
1. The mature open bolls must be selected and
picked cleanly while the immature bolls and
plants are left undamaged.
8. Proper preparation of cotton fields for
me- chanical harvesting will mean less trouble
and more profitable operation. Fields should be
kept clean and free from roots, stones,
bricks, and other foreign material.
2. Cotton bolls seldom ripen and open all at one
time. Therefore, a field is normally picked
two or three times before the entire field is
harvested.
3. The use of a wetting agent in the water will
distribute the water more evenly on the
spindle. Also, less water will be required.

9. Do a good job of cultivating. Weeds and grass
do not affect the mechanical operation of a
spindle- type cotton picker but will cause more
trash and foreign material to be mixed with the
cotton in the basket, making it more difficult to
gin, usually re- sulting in a lower grade.

USING PICKER IN THE FIELD
The degree of satisfaction from this cotton
picker depends upon the carefulness and
alertness of the operator. Once the picker has
been adjusted to meet the crop condition, the
rest is up to the operator.
picking unit will be at least one-inch above the
ground. If crop conditions permit, operate the
unit even higher so the spindles work as far as
possible from the abrasive soil. Some low-hanging
cotton bolls may be missed, but most owners of
mechanical cot- tpn pickers realize that the
small amount of addi- tioTal cotton saved. will
not offset the cost of the additional wear on a
picking unit operated close to the ground. An
operator who chooses to run the picking unit on
or very near the ground should do so with the
full knowledge that he is greatly decreasing the
life of the spindles and all the other working
parts of the picking unit because of the greatly
increased amount of abrasive dirt that is picked
up. Watch the quality of the cotton being picked.
If you are getting too much dirt and trash, you
may be operating the picking units too low. Make
sure the cotton in the basket is not too wet. Wet
cotton is difficult to gin, which can result in
lower grades. If water is required, use only
enough water to keep the spindles clean. Use a
wetting agent. (See page 24 for more information
about the spindle moisteners.) Watch the kind of
a picking job that is being done. Too much cotton
may be missed. The picker may be dropping open
bolls or knocking off green bolls. The cotton
may be just getting tagged instead of picked
cleanly. If any of these faults are noticed, stop
the picker, find the cause of the trouble, and
make the necessary adjustments. The trouble
shooting chart on pages 32 through 39 is your
key to better picking. It is a quick, easy guide
to picking troubles and their cor- rection. Each
time the basket is dumped, open the doors on the
picking unit. Clean off the inside of the doors
so the picked cotton can be easily sucked
through the fan and blown into the basket. Never
tramp or pack the cotton in the basket. This will
work trash and dirt into the cotton, lower- ing
the grade. Never open the throttle more than
halfway when raising the basket.
, H it the cotton - Dont m iss it
Approach a row of cotton so the cotton enters the
center of the picking unit. Engage the picking
unit drive in time for the unit to be operating
at full speed when it encounters the plant. We
recommend picking cotton in lands of 20 to 30
rows. Operate the picker so the left-hand wheel
runs in cotton that has been picked.
Keep watching for stones, bricks and other
foreign objects. Running a brick through a
picking unit can cause severe damage. Raise the
picking unit to the highest position when turning
at the end of a row. Also raise the picking unit
whenever it is necessary to back up in a cotton
field. Adjust the picking unit stop so the bottom

Always use clean water in the inoistening system
to prevent clog ging the water lines. Keep in
reind that there are many complicating factors in
the picking of cotton. Some of them cati be
eliminated by having your picker iii good condi-
tion and adj usted properly. Other factors can
be handled by a skillful, alert operator. The
ultimate of 1 00 _at_ p ick ing of cotton that z'ill
be given the highest grade at the gin can never
be reached. Cotton ripens unevenly. Weather
changes between pickif B can affect bot li the
grade of cot ton and ease of picking. Keeping the
amount of dirt and trash in the basket to a
minirnu rn means you will have to miss some of
the low- hanging bolls. Another factor to
consider is depreciation of your picker. Scrapp
ing low-yield cot- ton may cost you more in the
way of wear and tear on the picker th an the
cotton is worth. Your objective is to pick the
most high-grade cotton at the lowest possitle
cost. Your John Deere 11 Cot to n Picker will
achieve that Boa1 better th an any comparable
picker on the market.
Don't drive with the basket roised! !
Never dr ive the picker with the basket raised
. You could tip over the picker very
easily. Inspect the fan rotor and the inside of
the fan housing once a day. C lean out any dirt,
trash, or plant sap that has accumulated.

IMPORTANCE OF LUBRICATION
all fittings are tight and located properly.
Rep lace any missing fittings innmediately.
Lubricate all parts thoroughly but avoid
excessive In brication. Bearings packed at the
factory should be repac ked after every 2S0 hours
of operation or at the beginning of each season.
Proper lubrication of the cotton picker is
probably the most importan t factor contributing
toward low upkeep costs, long life, and
satisfactory service. Without oil and grease,
important work ing parts of the cotton picker
would be ru tried in a very short time.

t UN IT UNIVERSAL
Grease each picker bar with J hn Deere spindle
lube or its equivalent, until the grease just
appears at the drum head bearing cap. The picker
bars can be moved into position for lubrication
by rotating the dofler plates by hand. This is a
good time to check for worn, bent, or badly
stained spindles. Excessive spindle stain indi-
cates lack of water, defective or poorly
adjusted moisteners or doffers. For the most
desirable operation, lubricate the picker bars
at mid-day. The next best time is in the morning.
Filling the picker bars with grease at night
could result in difficult starting of picking
units the next morning after an especially cold
night. Important Use John Deere spindle lube or
equivalent.
