Step-by-Step Calculating Shim Requirements for Mounting Brackets
Procedure (Models: 9900-9950 only)
CAUTION: If Installing on a 9960, skip to “Installing on Metal

Duct with Ladder” section on page 20.
1. Front and back walls of ducts on 9900-9950 models may not be parallel due to
tapered design. If they are not parallel, shims must be used to properly align
front and back mounting brackets for flow sensors.
2. A few (3) measurements must be taken in order to calculate shim

requirements. See Figure 12 for an illustration.
NOTE: It does not matter where the top measurement is taken. If the
length measurement is accurate, the angle of taper can be calculated.
Top
Length
Bottom
Figure 12. Duct measurements

JD 9960 (including 9900-9950)
3. With measurements shown in Figure 13 recorded, calculate shim requirements
as follows:
a. Top – Bottom = ________ x 3 = ________ / Length = ________ inches.
b. Subtract 0.12 in. from value calculated in step (a) to account for integral
shim of mounting plate.
c. Provided shims are 1/16 in. (.063) thick. Calculate number of shims
required to add up to dimension calculated in step (b).
d. When installing sensors, use number of shims calculated in step (c) on both
front and back mounting brackets of tapered ducts. Shims should be
installed on bottom end of mounting brackets as shown in Figure 13.
Shims
Figure 13. Shims installed under mounting bracket
4. With shim requirements calculated, begin flow sensor installation. If any

ducts require shims, it will likely be ducts located behind cab. Install on those
ducts last using techniques detailed in following (2) sections. Install required
shims on front mounting bracket before determining location for back
mounting bracket.

Step-by-Step Installing on Metal Duct with Ladder
Procedure (Models: All)
1. Remove ladder duct from machine. Place back side of duct on floor.
2. Measure 51 in. up from bottom of ladder as shown in Figure 14. Make a mark
on each sidewall of ladder. Connect marks with a straight line across duct.
3. Measure 5 in. down (toward bottom of ladder) from previous line as shown in
Figure 14. Make a mark on each sidewall and then draw a straight line as in
previous step.
4. Using a cutting tool, cut along marked lines to completely remove a 5-inch
section from each ladder rail shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Modification to metal ladder duct
5. Center a ladder replacement rail over section that was removed. See Figure 15.
6. With replacement rail centered in position, mark locations for mounting holes
onto existing ladder rail. Repeat procedure for other side of ladder rail.
7. Center punch and drill (8) mounting holes using provided 9/32 in. drill bit.
NOTE: Set replacement rails aside for now. They will be installed later.

JD 9960 (including 9900-9950)
Ladder rails
Figure 15. Replacement ladder rails installed
8. Position a mounting bracket on duct so that top edge of bracket is in-line with
top edge of removed rail section as shown in Figure 15. Threaded studs of
bracket should be toward outlet (or top) of duct. Center mounting bracket
side-to-side on duct by marking a vertical centerline on duct and positioning
center holes of mounting bracket over centerline.
9. With mounting bracket firmly held in position, mark center rectangular hole
and (6) mounting holes using a permanent marker.
10. Remove bracket. Center punch and drill (6) mounting holes using provided
punch and 9/32 in. drill bit.
11. Cut rectangular hole using a plasma cutter if available. If not, a high-speed air,
or electric cutting disk will work fine. Saber and jigsaws are not recommended
because they do not make as clean of a cut.
12. When cutting and drilling is complete, file perimeter of rectangular hole to
remove sharp edges.
CAUTION: Filing is not complete until all burrs have been

removed. Burrs may catch “stringers” and cause yield errors.
PN: 2005828 January 2010 – Rev A 21

JD 9960 (including 9900-9950)
13. Fasten mounting bracket to duct using (6) 1/4 x 3/4 in. truss head screws with
lock washers and hex nuts. Install screws from inside so nuts are on outside
of duct.
14. With mounting bracket securely fastened to front side of duct, attach hinged
template to mounting bracket as shown in Figure 16. Ensure hinged template
is fully engaged into hinge, then install (2) nuts to secure template to mounting
bracket.
Figure 16. Attaching hinged template
15. Attach another mounting bracket to template flat strap using (2) nuts as shown
in Figure 17.
Figure 17. Flat strap template attached to mounting plate

JD 9960 (including 9900-9950)
16. Slide assembly shown in Figure 17 onto U-shaped shown in Figure 16.
Template assembly should be slid on until bracket is tight against duct.
17. With back bracket in position, mark locations for (6) mounting holes and
rectangular cutout just as was done for bracket on front side of duct. Remove
template.
CAUTION: Due to irregularly shaped ducts, the locations marked

for the back bracket may not be centered side to side on duct. That is
normal. It is more important that the sensors be lined up properly
using the provided alignment template than being centered side to side
on the duct.
18. Drill and cut holes just as was done for bracket on front side of duct. Remove
burrs.
19. Secure mounting bracket using (6) 1/4 x 3/4 in. truss head screws with lock
washers and nuts. Install screws from inside so nuts are on outside of duct.
It is a good idea to use template to double check alignment before tightening
fasteners. With optimum alignment achieved, securely tighten fasteners.
20. Install replacement ladder rails. Fasten the ladder rails using (6) 1/4 x 3/4 in.
truss head screws with lock washers and hex nuts. Do not install screws in
positions indicated in Figure 18 yet. A shield must be installed that will utilize
indicated mounting holes.
21. Install (2) 1/4 x 1 in. cap screws into remaining mounting holes that were left
open in step 20. Screws should be inserted from outside with hex nuts loosely
installed on inside edge of rail.
22. Position sensor shield so that loosely installed cap screws will engage pivot
holes near top of shield.
23. With cap screws partially engaged in pivot holes of sensor shield, tighten hex
nuts on each side to secure shield on cap screws.
24. Install lock nuts on each pivot screw to ensure that shield will not fall off.
25. After shield is securely in place, install emitter (sensor with integral cable)
assembly to mounting bracket. Hinge up and fasten captive nuts to check for
interference. Remove emitter.

Step-by-Step Installing on Outside Ducts without Ladder
Procedure (Models: All)
1. Before removing ducts from machine, measure 43 inches from bottom of duct
on front side. Place top of mounting bracket (with sensor installed) at this
mark. Make certain there is no interference on front or back of duct. If there
are obstructions that cannot be moved, adjust sensor location accordingly.
Check for interference in harvest and transport mode. The goal is to mount
sensor as high as possible on duct to prevent interference from lower
telescoping duct.
2. Remove duct from machine. Place back side of duct on floor. Measure 43 in.
from lower end of duct as shown in Figure 19 and make (2) marks across
width of duct. Using a straight edge, connect marks with a straight line across
duct.
Figure 19. Mounting plate measurement
3. Line up top of mounting bracket with line on duct. Orient bracket so studs of
bracket are toward outlet (or top) of duct. Center mounting bracket side-to-
side on duct by marking a vertical centerline on duct and positioning center
holes of mounting bracket over centerline.

Step-by-Step Installing Duct Restraint
Procedure (Models: 9960 only)
CAUTION: This section is for All-Row monitoring only. If only

monitoring 2-Rows, proceed to “Installing CAN Bus Harness” section.
CAUTION: An All-row system requires a duct restraint be

installed to protect rear cab window when ducts are lowered. Ag
Leader will not warranty damaged sensors, or be liable for bodily
injury or damage to machine if restraint is not installed. If restraint
is not installed, mounting brackets and sensors must be removed
before lowering basket.
1. Raise ducts into harvesting position and lock into place for safety.
2. Drill hole for duct restraint as shown in Figure 26. Measure up 16-1/4 in.
from existing hole in tubing and make a mark centered on SIDE of tube.
Center punch and drill a hole through both sides of tube using provided punch
and 11/32 in. drill bit.

adjustment
Figure 27. Duct angle measurement
3. Install provided 5/16 x 2 in. cap screw through drilled hole and install a lock
nut.
NOTE: For now, the duct restraint installation is complete. After the
flow sensors have been installed and all ducts in place on machine, the
ducts may require adjustment as detailed in the following steps.
CAUTION: The duct restraint may cause interference between

the sensors and the cab and also between the ducts and the basket.
The following instructions detail how to eliminate the interference
if necessary.
4. Carefully raise and lower basket to determine if angle adjustments must be

made to ducts to eliminate interference. Interference is most likely to occur
between sensors and cab, or between top of ducts and basket.
5. If interference exists, proceed to make an angle adjustment to the ducts as

illustrated in Figure 27.
PN: 2005828 January 2010 – Rev A 33

JD 9960 (including 9900-9950)
6. If unable to achieve proper adjustment due to interference between basket and
ducts when switching from harvest to transport mode, there are (4) options as
follows. Options (a) or (b) are recommended over options (c) and (d). Options
(c) and (d) are more of a temporary fix than a solution.
a. It is likely that interference is between basket and only (1) duct. If so, it
may be possible to place washers or spacers between duct and its
mounting plate. This fix will work for outside ducts, which are more
likely to cause interference.
b. Trim off enough of upper end of duct to eliminate interference when

switching from harvest to transport mode.
c. Position basket in “Intermediate” mode when traveling from field to

field. Refer to Operator Manual to learn more about this procedure.
Some pickers do not have this option.
d. Make a temporary adjustment for transporting machine. If any

adjustments are made, make sure duct restraint is in place before
harvesting for safety purposes. If basket is being raised and lowered
often, a temporary adjustment is not recommended.

CAN Bus
Harness • (1) CAN Bus harness
• (1) Static grounding cable (necessary for plastic ducts)
• Cable ties
Step-by-Step CAUTION: The CAN Bus harness must be secured with cable ties
Procedure to prevent damage from cotton and other debris. When securing CAN
Bus to machine, make sure it will move appropriately when ducts are
raised or lowered when switching to and from transport mode. CAN
Bus harness may be damaged if care is not taken when securing it.
1. Locate end of CAN Bus harness that is labeled “Sensor 1.” Connect “Sensor
1” connector of CAN Bus harness with mating connector of left-most detector
installed on machine.
2. Connect emitter pigtail (located on front side of duct) to mating connector on

CAN Bus harness.
3. Proceed to connect CAN Bus harness to corresponding sensor sets from left to
right across machine until all sensor sets have been connected.
4. Route remainder of CAN Bus harness down to display cable that was routed
through cab floor in a previous section.
5. Plug CAN Bus into display cable. Black female connector of display cable
mates with black male connector of Y-Splice on CAN Bus.
6. Plug black female connector of speed module stub into remaining male
connector (light color) of Y-Splice on CAN Bus.
7. Plug gray female connector of speed module stub into 4-pin “CAN Bus”
connector of Speed Sensor module.
8. Coil and secure excess CAN Bus harness near display cable.
9. Replace rear panel of metal compartment that protects cables.
NOTE: To limit static electricity buildup, sensor mounting plates on

plastic ducts must be grounded with provided grounding cable.
10. Remove nut from mounting plate for each detector and attach lug of static
ground cable as shown in Figure 28.

239 SPEED MODULE
5. Touch Diagnostics tab within SYSTEM screen.

a. Verify FAN SPEED (RPM) signal.
1. Fan speed should register zero with fan off.
2. Engage fan. Display should register an RPM value. At full throttle,
fan speed should be greater than 2500 RPM.
b. Verify GROUND SPEED (MPH) signal.

1. Ground speed should register zero with picker at rest.
2. Move picker slowly. Display should register MPH value at low
speeds (below 1 MPH).
NOTE: If using wheels as primary speed sensor, ground speed reading on

display may not agree with picker readout until system has been calibrated.
c. Verify HEADER HEIGHT (%) signal

1. Raise and lower header. Header height % should increase and
decrease respectively.
