ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
There are several things which may need assembling before the peanut combine is ready for opera-
tion. The assembly order will depend on how the machine has been disassembled for shipping.
ATTACH THE SIX ROW HEADER
Use extreme caution when attaching the head to
the combine. It is very heavy and should be handled
in a secure manner at all times to avoid injury.
First position the header under the tongue of the
combine. Raise and tilt the header so that it fits
squarely against both combine side frame and the up-
per header. Install the 1/2 x 1 1/2 capscrews, flat-
washers, lockwashers, and hex nuts (8 of each) that
connect the rear of the header to the side frame. Do
not fully tighten at this point. Next install the 1/2 x 1
1/2 carriage screws, flatwasher, lockwashers, and hex
nuts (12 of each) that connect the top of the detached
header to the under side of the tongue supports. Now
tighten all bolts securely. Check the joint where the
square tube of the drop floor meets the square tube of
the #1 concave. The joint should be tight enough so
that no peanuts can fall out. There should not be any
raised corners or surfaces that could shell or damage
peanuts. Adjust each tube position in the slotted
holes if necessary.
Next attach quick disconnect couplers to the hy-
draulic hoses. The hoses for the tank lift, header lift,
and tongue shift (if equipped) have 1/2-14 NPT
threads. The hoses for header rotation have 3/4-16 O-
Ring threads. The header requires a constant flow of
high pressure oil and the O-Ring provides a better
seal than the pipe threads. Use the appropriate adap-
tor on each hose.
Six-Row headers will require dealer assembly of
the flashing lights on the ends of the header. Connect
wires provided, making sure that the right and left
sides operate properly.
MOUNT THE TANK TO THE COMBINE
First lift the tank into position using the loops
provided on the tank frame, this will help keep the
tank near level while working it into position. Align
bolt holes and air-lift duct and lower into position and
install bolts into support arms. Make sure tank is sit-
ting flat on combine top and square with sides and
frame before disconnecting lift front tank. If tank
does not sit flat on combine, adjust support arms to
right or left as needed to allow tank to sit flat on
MOUNT THE REAR HOOD
For some shipping situations, it may be necessary
to mount the rear hood. If so, first hang the rear hood
onto the mainframe by interlocking the front lip of the
hood with the rear lip on the mainframe. Center the
hood on the rear support, then secure its position by
installing capscrews through mounting holes in edge
Figure 1
frame. Secure tank to combine by tightening attach-
ment bolts previously installed. Next connect hydrau-
lic hoses between combine mainframe and tank using
the hoses provided. See Figure 1.

4RWB TIRE AND HUB INSTALLATION
ATTACH FOUR ROW TONGUE
Some combines may require the attachment of the
pivot tongue. To do this slide the fork of the tongue
over the pivot tube on the tongue support and insert
the pivot pin. Secure with the nut and washer pro-
vided. Next select either the transport or operation
position and move the tongue against the appropriate
stop and insert the stop pin. See Figure 4.
of hood and bolt holes in rear tube of combine. See
Figure 2. Connect Transport lights.

Due to shipping width restrictions, some com-
bines may require the attachment of hubs and tires. If
the hubs have been removed, install the hub assembly
on to the end of the axle with the gusset side of the
spindle weldment facing downward.
KMC recommends for 4RWB machines to run
level mount the hub spindle bracket in the top holes
as shown in figure 3A. 6-Row machines should be
mounted in the bottom hole with one hole showing at
top as shown in figure 3B.

PRE-DELIVERY CHECKOUT
1. Open all shields and check chains and belts for
proper tension.
2. Check setscrews and jam nuts on all sprockets,
sheaves, shafts, etc. for proper torque.
3. Check oil level in gear
boxes. Remove the
level plug (lower one
on right angle gearbox)
on front face of gear
box. Oil should just
reach bottom of hole.
Add high grade SAE 90
weight oil if necessary.
4. Check hydraulic oil
level in tractor. Add as
necessary.
5. Check all lubrication points (see chart on page
21) and lubricate accordingly.
6. Connect tongue to tractor (see page 9 for
instructions) then connect hydraulic lines for tank
and header. Slowly raise and lower the tank and
header to work all air out of lines. Check lines
for leaks and correct as necessary.
7. Connect hydraulic lines for header rotation.
Operate slowly until all air has escaped from
the system. If using the flow control kit
#33-081-229, be sure to locate it OUTSIDE of
the cab.
8. Install tractor PTO driveline and secure shield
chains. Operate combine at 1/2 speed for 5 min-
utes. Stop combine and check for loose bolts,
nuts, chains, belts, sprockets, etc. and for hot
bearings and gear box.
9. Make any necessary corrections and run again at
full speed for 10 minutes and check all items
again.
10. Check tire pressure and set 4-row tires at 36 PSI
and 6-row tires at 26 PSI. Also check lug nuts for
proper torque. (400 ft lbs)
11. Disengage all strippers before going to the field.
Stripper handles should be rotated as decals indi-
cate. The top (2) strippers are adjusted from the
right side of the machine. The lower (6) strippers
must be adjusted from both right and left sides of
the machine. On the right side the #2 cylinder
stripper is adjusted in line with the stripper loca-
tion, but on the left side the handle is located
lower on the frame.
CAUTION: Never check for leaks with bare hands as small oil leaks
under pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious injury.
LEVEL
PLUG
DO NOT GO NEAR LEAKS
 High pressure oil easily punctures skin
causing serious injury, gangrene or death.
 If injured, seek emergency medical help.
Immediate surgery is required to remove
oil.
 Do not use finger or skin to check for
leaks.
 Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure
before loosening fittings.

PRINCIPLES OF PEANUT HARVEST
The KMC Peanut Combine is designed to be used for the removal of peanut pods from
peanut vines which have been uprooted. It will then separate the peanuts from the vines,
placing the pods in a storage tank on top of the machine, and return the vines to the ground.
The combine must be pulled and powered by a farm tractor.
* Efficiency of the combine is not measured in tons or acres per hour, but in the cleanliness
of the sample.
1. The peanuts are lifted off the ground and taken
into the combine by the pickup attachment,
which delivers them to the threshing cylinders for
picking.
2. The threshing cylinders strip the vines pulling the
pods off the vines. Additional stripping tines can
be engaged into the number one, two, three, and
four cylinders to increase the aggressiveness in
tough conditions.
3. When the peanut pods are pulled off the vines
they fall through separator concaves and onto a
shaker pan which conveys them to the cleaning
shoe located at the rear of the machine. The
concaves prevent most of the vine material from
falling onto the shaker pan and cleaning shoe.
4. The peanuts and small vine material which has
fallen onto the pan moves on to a comb agitator
which tosses the material into a stream of air.
Any small vines, leaves or trash are blown out the
rear of the machine by this air.
5. Any large material which falls through the
agitator comb will fall onto the cleaning shoe.
Here a blast of air will lift the lighter of these
materials out the back and an oscillating motion
will work the heavier items out the back. The
cleaning shoe consists of one screen called the
chaffer. The opening in this screen is adjustable
for different size peanuts and different conditions.
It allows the peanuts to fall through but not the
trash. The bottom of the cleaning shoe has two
rows of stemmer saws to cut the stems off the
peanuts.
6. An air delivery chute then takes the peanuts to the
storage tank on top of the combine.

FUNDAMENTALS FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE
1. The peanut vines must not be too green or good
separation will be slow and difficult.
2. Moisture content of the peanut should not be too
high or too low, otherwise increased damage or
LSK’s may result.
3. Keep the windrow centered entering the combine
so that the combine does not get overloaded on
either side.
4. Make sure combine is properly adjusted for pea-
nut and field conditions.
A. Chaffer opening must be adjusted to allow all
peanuts to fall through yet minimize
foreign material from flowing through.
B. Use as much air as necessary to separate
peanuts from trash without blowing peanuts
out the rear of the combine.
C. Select a ground speed that will not overload
the combine. Too much ground speed is one
of the greatest causes of poor performance in
separation.
5. Make sure the operator knows how to operate the
combine properly and efficiently.
6. The efficiency of the combine is not measured in
acres covered/hour, but in cleanliness of the sam-
ple.
CLAMPING CONE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: ATTACH 1 3/4 END OF DRIVELINE FIRST, THEN THE 1 3/8 END OF THE DRIVELINE.
1. Clean and grease (Do NOT over-grease) the con-
necting spline shaft. Do not grease or oil the
threads of the clamping cone.
2. Slide yoke or clutch onto the connecting shaft.
Make sure that the hole for the clamping cone is
positioned above the annular groove on the con-
necting shaft. Start threads of clamping cone by
hand, then tighten it to 75 ft-lbs (100 N-m) of
torque. While tightening, move the yoke or
clutch back and forth in axial direction. Check
tight and safe fit of yoke or clutch. A 17mm
socket will be needed to tighten the clamping
cone.
NOTE: The clamping cone is serviced only as a complete
assembly. Do NOT attempt to disassemble the
clamping cone.
The blue thread locker applied to the clamping
cone threads is good for at least 5 connect/
disconnect cycles.
3. After the first 8-10 hours of operation after instal-
lation, the clamping cone must be rechecked for
tight and safe fit. The Safe fit then needs to be
checked at regular intervals during operation. Re
-tighten clamping cone as necessary.
4. To disassemble, loosen clamping cone and re-
move it from the yoke or clutch. If the clamping
cone cannot be removed by hand, it can be re-
leased from the opposite side by using a hammer
and a pin punch.
