Expert Maintenance Review
The draper drive roller bush is a critical link in the product feeding circuit. If the taper-lock loses its grip due to vibration or worn components, it can lead to shaft scarring and complete drive failure. We recommend inspecting the tightness of the taper-lock bolts and checking for any signs of movement during every preventative maintenance check to keep your draper belts running at consistent speeds.
Upgrading to this high-performance C&M bush is a strategic choice to save money on expensive drive shaft repairs. The precision-machined taper ensures a high-strength seat, maintaining the alignment of your side conveyors and ensuring your header stays in top condition throughout the harvest window.
Installation Tip: Clean the Taper
Before installing the new 118-40072-09 bush, ensure both the roller hub and the drive shaft are completely free of oil, grease, and dust. A dry, clean taper is essential to achieve the high-strength friction bond required. This is the ideal time to check your draper drive rollers for lagging wear to ensure maximum belt traction.
