Installing Fan Parts required for this procedure:

Speed Sensor and
Cable • Fan speed cable
• Cable ties
• Fan speed sensor and sprocket
Step-by-Step
Procedure NOTE: These machine models (9900-9950) do not have a fan speed
sensor, which is needed for the Ag Leader yield monitor. The sensor
part number through your John Deere dealer is Part Number
AH116104. Other parts from the newer models may also be used
depending on the model of your machine which include the sprocket
or wheel and a bracket to hold the sensor. Double check the
machines fan configuration and shaft diameter before purchasing
the parts. The sprocket that is used does not need to have the same
number of teeth as the newer models. The number of teeth of the
sprocket can be changed in the monitor.
1. Become familiar with how the sensor is configured on a newer

machine and purchase the proper parts to install a fan speed sensor.
See Figure7 to see the location of a fan speed sensor on a newer
model machine.
2. Once the sensor is installed, install the two-connector end of the fan
speed cable, to the jumper between the existing wiring harness and

Installing Header Parts required for this procedure:

Height Sensor
• Header height sensor assembly (with integral cable)
• Two 5/16 x 1 inch bolts with lock washers and nuts
• Arm assembly (threaded rod with S-hook)
• Anchor spring with S-hook
• Cable ties
Step-by-Step
Procedure NOTE: Machine models may vary from the instructions below. The
sensor should be mounted to get good range of motion as the header is
raised and lowered and not to be in the way or damaged when the header
is fully raised.
1. Position the header sensor under the cab so that:
1a. The sensor is mounted on the right–most support member where the
brake master cylinder is attached. The middle slot of the header sensor will
be positioned on the existing hole of support member. Mark the position of
the forward slot on the sensor.
1b. While holding the sensor in place, temporally insert the threaded arm
into the shaft to verify there is no interference.
2. Drill a 3/8 inch hole, on the mark made in Step 1a. See Figure 9.
Existing Hole Drilled Hole

September 2003 2006100-6 9-11

3. Install two 5/16 x 1-inch bolts through the drilled holes and side row of
holes in the top of sensor frame. See Figure 10.
4. Install the arm assembly in the hole in the sensor pivot shaft with a nut and
lock washer on each side of the shaft.
5. Verify arm alignment and tighten bolts to support member.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply excessive torque. This can deform the

sensor frame and prevent proper operation. Tighten nuts only
enough to firmly hold the sensor in place and then check to see the
arm pivots smoothly and always returns to the spring centered
position.
6. Connect the free end of the spring to the S-hook on arm and pinch the hook
closed.

9-12 September 2003 2006100-6

7. Refer to Figure 11 and use an existing hole and bolt to attach the S-hook to
the frame or row unit on the header.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the chain will be clear of the rotating shafts

and does not pull on the rod at an extreme angle.
8. It may be necessary to bend the threaded rod to prevent interference with

other components.
9. Route header sensor cable to the area under the cab to the distribution cable.
10. Connect header sensor cable to distribution cable.

Cotton Flow Sensor Installation for 9900-9950
IMPORTANT: Flow sensor installation on John Deere

pickers is dependent on the type of machine you own. Please
carefully read the instructions.
Install sensors on the following rows (for a two row

monitoring system which has 4 sensors for 4 chutes) based
on machine design for best performance.
• 2-Row: Rows 1 and 2

• 4-Row: Rows 1 & 4
If there is a different configuration, contact Ag Leader

Technology Technical Support at (515) 232-5363 ext. 1. The
sensors, together, should monitor complete rows if possible.
Care must be taken when selecting chutes since the front or
back picking drums of two different rows are often joined by
the same chute. For example, a 9950 must monitor the two
chutes behind the cab and each chute on the left and right
side. This is the only configuration available without
monitoring all six chutes.
NOTE: The following instructions are for a system monitoring

two rows as well as all rows. Use the table of contents below to
find the appropriate instructions for the duct you are mounting
to.

Installing Cotton Flow Sensors on Ducts General 9-14
Installing on Metal Duct with Ladder 9-20

Installing on Outside Ducts without Ladder 9-26
9-14 September 2003 2006100-6

Sensor Installation 1. Each duct requires an Emitter and Detector pair (See Figure 12) to
Overview sense the cotton flow as the cotton is blown to the basket. Each
Emitter has five individual infrared light emitters within each
housing to cover the width of the duct. Likewise, each detector has
five individual sensors within each housing to match up across the
duct to sense the light from the emitters. Therefore, it is critical to
measure accurately.
2. To mount the sensors, use the mounting plate and appropriate

template to position the bracket and mark the needed holes. The
brackets will be removed and the holes drilled and the opening for
the sensors cut.
3. Once the sensors are installed make sure the telescoping lower duct
does not block the sensors when head is raised. If this is occurring,
remove no more that 3 inches off the top of the lower duct.
Some general criteria that should be used when installing on various

chutes:
• Sensor faces must be parallel for proper alignment
• Sensors must not be on a curved portion of the chute such that there
is cotton directly hitting the sensor. This will subject the lens covers
to excessive wear.
• The sensors should be mounted on a portion of the chute that will

not conflict with other components, in both transport mode and
harvest mode.
• The sensor should be mounted as high as possible to prevent

interference from the telescoping of the chutes as the header is
raised and lowered.
• Use the example provided to calculate the correct amount of spacers

needed for each sensor to allow for unparallel chute walls.
• Always mount the emitter with the correct amount of spacers first,
then align the detector to the emitter.
• A template is provided to assist in sensor alignment. If at all

possible try and mount on a chute that the hinged template will fit
around. If the hinged template will not work, measure as accurately
as possible to align the sensors. See figures 22, 23, 24.

Detector Emitter
(Back of Chute) (Front of Chute)
Figure 12. Emitter and Detector pair
Calculating the shim First to compensate for unparallel chutes you need to calculate the amount of
thickness to shims that is needed for each sensor mounting plate. As seen in the Figure 13,
several measurements are needed that will be used in the equation below to
compensate for
calculate the thickness of spacers that will be needed. It does not matter where
unparallel chute the sensor will be mounted when taking these measurements, all that matters is
walls the length (L) is from the bottom to the top measurement. The slope or angle
of the chute will be the same from the top to bottom.
Refer to Figure 13 to take the top measurement and subtract it from the
bottom measurement. Multiply the remainder times 3. Divide the
product by the length. The last box on the right is the total thickness of
spacers needed under the bottom of the mounting plate for each sensor.
Note there is already a 0.12 inch spacer welded to the mounting plate.
Therefore you want to subtract 0.12 inch from the value you calculate in the
right box.
Top – Bottom = X3= /L = inches
For example: Refer to Figure 14, you determine that you have a top
measurement of 10 inches, a bottom measurement of 6 inches and a length of
48 inches. In this example you would have to have spacers up to 1/4 inch on
each sensor. (0.25 – 0.12 = approximately 1/8 [0.125] inch needed)
NOTE: It does not matter where the sensor will be mounted when
taking these measurements, all that matters is the length (L) is from
the bottom to the top measurement. The slope or angle of the chute
will be the same from the top to bottom.
10 – 6 = 4 X3= 12 /48 = 0.25 or 1/4 inch
As seen in Figure 15, the spacers can be strips of aluminum or metal or

washers stacked to achieve the desired thickness.

Illustrating the The detector should always be aligned from the emitter. The figures
importance of below illustrate this. Since the detectors are aligned from the emitters,
aligning the detector the emitters must be mounted first. The emitters should be mounted on
from the emitter. the front of the chute.
The straight line from one sensor to the other represents a light beam.

Installing on NOTE: The instructions below may or may not be used

Metal Duct with depending on the configuration and model of your machine. The
Ladder general concept of the installation can be derived.
Use where applies Before removing the ducts from your machine, decide where you want
to mount the sensors. Keep in mind you want the sensors as high as
possible to avoid conflict with the telescoping portion of the chute. At
the same time, be careful there are no interferences with any other
components.
1. Make a mark on the front side of the chute where you want to mount
the sensor. Make the mark where the top of the sensor mounting
plate will be positioned. See Figure 21 for the bracket and its
orientation.
2. In order to use the hinged template on the metal ladder duct, you
must remove a small portion of the sidewalls of the ladder. Make a
mark on each sidewall from the mark you made in the previous step.
Using a square, connect the marks with a straight line, parallel to the
lower end of the duct.
3. From this mark measure down towards the bottom of the duct 5
inches as shown in Figure 20. Using a square extend these marks
along the outside of the ladder rail. Using a cutting tool, cut along
your marks to remove the 5-inch section of each ladder rail shown in
Figure 20. Cut the sidewalls all the way to the surface of the ladder
that is attached to the duct so there are no sidewalls remaining in this
5-inch section.
4. Center one of the replacement ladder rails in one of the holes you
just cut as seen in Figure 21. Center the cut section with the
replacement rail and mark and center punch the four holes for the
replacement rail. Do this on each side of the ladder. Using a 9/32-
inch drill bit, drill all four holes on each side of the ladder. Once
holes are drilled, set replacement rails aside. You will bolt them in
at the end of this installation.

5. Line up the top of a mounting bracket on the duct with the line and
top rail cuts on the ladder (See Figure 21). Orient the bracket so the
studs on the bracket are toward the outlet of the duct (up). Center
the mounting bracket side-to-side on the duct by accurately marking
a vertical centerline on the duct and positioning the center holes of
the mounting bracket over the centerline.
Figure 21. Orienting the bracket
September 2003 2006100-6 9-21

6. Using duct tape, fix the position of the centered mounting bracket
for marking the cutout hole and mounting holes.
7. Mark the center rectangular cutout and center punch the six
mounting holes to be drilled.
8. Remove the mounting bracket and drill the six center-punched holes
with a 9/32-inch drill bit.
9. For cutting the rectangular opening, it is recommended to use a

high-speed air, electric cutting disk or plasma cutter. Saber and
jigsaws are not recommended. They do not result in a clean cut.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to use the cutting

tools stated. However, if a jig saw or a torch is used, you
should take extreme caution that the edge of the duct and
ladder is not bent and rough as cotton will catch and result
in error from stringers.
CAUTION: To prevent injuries to yourself or others wear

safety goggles or face shield for protection from airborne
metal particles while cutting.
10. When cutting and drilling is complete use a flat file to remove all
sharp edges around the perimeter of the rectangular cutout and
carefully file off sharp burrs around drilled holes.
IMPORTANT: There must be absolutely NO burrs, as they

will create cotton “stringers” that may affect yield accuracy.
11. Use six of the 1/4 x 3/4-inch truss head screws and six nuts to fasten
the mounting bracket to the duct.
NOTE: The nuts should be on the outside of the hood so it

doesn’t protrude into the flow of the cotton. If bolts are installed
wrong, errors could be caused in yield data.

12. Once the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the front side of
the duct, attach the hinged template to the mounting bracket as seen
Figure 22. Make sure the hinged template is pushed all of the way
down into the hinge and using two nuts securely fasten the template
to the mounting bracket.
13. Attach the second mounting bracket to the template flat strap using
two more nuts as shown in Figure 23.

14. Slide the assembly seen in Figure 23 onto the U-shaped strap as seen
in Figure 24. The template assembly should be slide on until it
mates up with the duct.
15. After marking the holes and rectangular opening, remove the
mounting bracket, center punch the holes, and drill the six center-
punched positions with a 9/32-inch drill bit.

18. Attach the mounting bracket using six 1/4 x 3/4-inch truss head
screws. You may want to double check for alignment using the
templates before securely fastening all screws.
NOTE: Ladder rails may need to be modified or substituted with

your own plates, as these rail replacements are for late model
machines.
19. Put the replacement ladder rails in place. Fasten the ladder rails
using three 1/4 x 3/4-inch truss head screws and three lock washers
and nuts. Do not place a bolt in the hole as indicated in the Figure
25. You will install a shield later that will utilize these holes.
Repeat this to fasten the second ladder rail. Refer to Figure 25 to
see the overall final installation with ladder rails and emitter in
place.

20. Use the 1/4 x 1-inch bolts as studs for the shield to pivot on. Follow
the steps below carefully as it can be a little tricky installing the
bolts and shield due to the width of the shield and the length of the
bolts. See Figure 29.
21. Place a 1/4 x 1 inch bolt into the holes of the replacement rails that
you left empty earlier (See Figure 25 & 26) and screw a nut partially
onto the bolt.

onto the bolt that is on the outside of the nut you just screwed on.
Once the shield is on this stud, tighten the nut against the ladder rail
to fix the bolt.
23. Repeat Step 21 and 22 for the other side of the rail as seen in Figure
28.
24. Screw the nylock nuts on the end of the studs until the shield is at an
acceptable tightness. See Figure 29.
25. After the mounting brackets and replacement rails are securely
fastened, place the sensors into the hinges to check for interference.
Hinge up and fasten the captive nuts. The emitter (sensor with
cable) should be mounted on the front side of the ducts (closest to
the cab).
26. Remove the sensors (to prevent damage) and re-install the duct back
on the machine.
27. Use the provided RTV silicone to seal the gaps between the
mounting plates and the chute.

Installing on Note: The instructions below may or may not be used depending on the
Outside Ducts configuration and model of your machine. The general concept of the
without Ladder installation can be derived.
Before removing the ducts from your machine, decide where you want
to mount the sensors. Keep in mind you want the sensors as high as
possible to avoid conflict with the telescoping portion of the chute. At
the same time, be careful there are no interferences with any other
components
1. Make a mark on the front side of the chute where you want to mount
the sensor. Make the mark where the top of the sensor mounting
plate will be positioned. See Figure 30 for the bracket and its
orientation.
2. Remove the duct from the machine. With the outlet of the black
duct facing the floor, accurately make two marks across the width of
the duct to make a straight line. Using a square, connect the marks
with a straight line, parallel to the lower end of the duct.
9-26 September 2003 2006100-6

3. Line up the top of a mounting bracket with the line on the duct.
Orient the bracket so the studs on the bracket are toward the outlet
of the duct (up). Center the mounting bracket side-to-side on the
duct by accurately marking a vertical centerline on the duct and
positioning the center holes of the mounting bracket over the
centerline
4. Using duct tape, fix the position of the centered mounting bracket
and mark the rectangular hole and mounting holes. See Figure 30.
5. Remove the mounting bracket and center punch the six mounting
holes to be drilled.
6. Drill the six center-punched positions with a 9/32-inch drill bit.

Refer to the example at the beginning of this section to calculate the

proper amount of spacers needed.
9. Use six of the 1/4 x 3/4-inch truss head screws and six lock washers
and nuts to fasten the mounting bracket holes to the duct. Including
the proper amount of spacers on the bottom side.

10. Once the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the front side of
the duct with the proper amount of spacers attach the hinged
template to the mounting bracket as seen in Figure 32. Make sure
that the hinged bracket is pushed all of the way down into the hinge
and using two nuts securely fasten the template to the mounting
bracket.
11. Attach the second mounting bracket to the template flat strap using
two more nuts. As shown in Figure 33.
12. Slide the assembly seen in Figure 33 onto the U-shaped strap as seen
in Figure 33. The template assembly should be slid on until it mates
up with the duct.

16. Securely fasten the mounting bracket using six 1/4 x 3/4 inch truss
head screws and six lock washers and nuts. Make certain to include
the proper amount of shims on the bottom side of the chute. You
may want to use the template to double check for alignment before
tightening the bolts. Once optimum alignment is achieved, securely
tighten the bolts.

17. After the mounting brackets are securely fastened. Mount the ducts
back on the machine.
18. Use the provided RTV silicone to seal the gaps between the
mounting plates and the chute.
19. Place an emitter (sensor with a cord) in the front mounting bracket
(side closest to the cab) and a detector in the back mounting bracket.
Hinge up and securely fasten the captive nuts. The Emitter is shown
in Figures 35 and 36.

Installing Flow Parts required for this procedure:

Sensor Cable
• Flow sensor Cable Harness
• Static Grounding Cable (9970 and 9976 ONLY)
• Cable Ties
Step-by-Step 1. The flow sensor cable is constructed to connect to each of the

Procedure Detectors in series beginning with the left-most duct. (See Figure
37) Locate the end of the cable that has connectors located
approximately every 4 feet. Mate the last 9-pin connector with the
mating connector on the detector mounted to the left-most duct.
(The machines left)
2. Connect each of the Detectors from Left to Right on the machine.

The yield monitor will refer to each sensor by the same number that
corresponds to the number of row picking unit.
3. Connect the cable attached to the emitter to the mating 4-pin

connector on the flow sensor cable at each sensor location.
4. Secure the flow sensor cable to the mounting tube that fixes the
position of the ducts.
5. Route the flow cable to the distribution cable under the cab securing
it at 18-inch intervals, away from any moving parts.

Final Inspection Installation is now complete. Do a walk around of the machine and
complete the following:
• All cable connections have been made.
• Excess cable has been tied out of the way, so there is no potential
interference.
• All tools have been removed from the machine.
• All cap screws and captive nuts are tight on the sensor mounts.
• When header is raised, ensure that the lower telescoping duct does
not block the sensors.
