I heard that at some point along the way of the years of the 9600 Deere put a new plate on/in the feeder house somewhere and that this help greatly with dust out front?

True or false? If so, when did it start? Anyone have a picture of it?

If true, can a person ad the part from deere to older 9600s and can you make one yourself?

don't know for sure about the plate but the variable speed feederhouse was supposed to help

I beleve in 1994 they raised the cab couple inches and did something to prevent dust from the feeder house,there is some shield in front 0f the cyl.we had a 92 and a 94 and the dust was very noticable different,I never did research what was done but sure someone from deere will know,good luck.

Our 96 -9600 has very little dust. Had a 90-9500 that was terrible. The plate is at the top pf feeder house. Ask dealer about a retro.

Anyone have any picts, diagrams or part numbers? I cannot seem to find a person at Deere who knows about this.

it was a drum that runs inside the feederhouse

I hope this link works. There are a bunch of pictures under 'retrofit kit for air flow'.
If the link doesn't work go to deereparts.com and look at parts catalog, go to the 9600 model number and then under the 'R' in alphabetical index.

Thanks. It looks like it was a whole kit with fan and everything, eh?

When I was running a 9600 - 9610, I put a air deflector on top of feeder house, I think it was mfg by Johnson, worked very well. It was a fan that was run off hydraulics and deverted dust on side of feeder house.

 

[jbweston]

I will look into that. How much were they?

That was 15 years ago, I don't remember, if you are mechnical could make your own. Looked like a u trough upside down on top of inspection door with a elbow on the end. Has a fan driven by a hydralic motor.
