Spindle Cleaner The quality of the spindle cleaner you use also plays a critical role in increasing your harvesting performance and reducing your operating and maintenance costs. That is why we developed our own superior grease-compatible spindle cleaner. John Deere Spindle Cleaner does much more than soap and water can do for the spindles and interfacing parts.

AN114022 – Spindle Cleaner (5 gal.)

Why soap and water is not enough

· Using dishwashing soap instead of a quality spindle cleaner doesn’t protect your cotton picker’s mechanical parts from rust, oxidation, or corrosion.

· Even worst, dishwashing soap actually washers away the lubricating spindle grease from the bushings and attachments leaving them unprotected.

Features and benefits

· Uniquely formulated, water-soluble product when mixed with water at a ratio of up to 100 gallons of water to 1-1/2 gallons of spindle cleaner

· Moistens and cleans spindles effectively – even when working with extremely hard water

· No harmful effect on doffers and pads as some other products might produce

· Applies easily through small nozzles, reducing consumption – allowing longer intervals between tank refills

· Meets JDN354 specifications

Spindle Grease Quality John Deere Spindle Grease is lithium-based grease that can be used in all makes of cotton pickers. It is specially formulated with highly refined base lubricating oils and unique anti-wear additives to prevent abrasion and extend the service life of high-wear parts. It is not just another off-the-shelf product. John Deere Spindle Grease was specifically designed to ensure maximum lubricating performance and the efficiency of high-speed spindles in John Deere cotton pickers, as well as other makes. Thoroughly tested and proven to outperform competitive greases, this quality-made product will provide the best value for your investment. Don’t jeopardize your equipment! There is a tremendous amount of metal-to-metal contact in a picker head. Using high-quality grease ensures maximum performance by reducing wear on these metal surfaces. To keep your equipment running efficiently, even under the harshest operating conditions, you can depend on John Deere Spindle Grease.

AN113719 – Spindle Grease (35 lb.)

Superior formula

Not all spindle greases provide the same level of performance – that is why we developed our own.  Here is what makes the John Deere formula outperform other brands:

· John Deere Spindle Grease meets NLGI No. “00” specifications and meets John Deere cotton picker spindle lubricant JDN 380 & JDN 360 specifications for John Deere cotton pickers.

· High-grade, anti-wear additives and rust inhibitors protect the spindles and picking unit components, extending the service lives of all parts.

· Lithium soap holds oil in suspension better than other types of greases. Bentonite-clay greases, for example, can form deposits or “caking” in the picker bars, preventing the grease from lubricating the picking assembly.

· Proper base lubricating oil ensures excellent performance and lubrication in extremely hot operating temperatures. It will not thin out like other brands. If base oil viscosity is too low, it can reduce bearing life. If it is too high, a cotton picker will be forced to use higher horsepower at lower temperatures.

· John Deere Spindle Grease is an all-in-one lubricating grease, gear lubricant, penetrating oil, and corrosion protector.

Value-added benefits

If you buy spindle grease based on price alone, you may be losing money. A lower price, lesser-quality spindle grease can cost a lot more than you expect – especially if it won’t stand up to the harmful effects of extreme temperatures, high-speed spindle operation, rust, and corrosion. John Deere Spindle Grease is competitively priced and is the best value for your investment. It will help reduce operating and maintenance costs, and prolong the life of your picker heads.

Features and benefits

· Special semi-fluid, lithium-based grease developed expressly by John Deere for use in John Deere and other mechanical cotton pickers 

· Formulated with highly refined base lubricating oils, which are blended and milled into a lithium-based grease, along with special additives to enhance lubrication performance

·  Flows freely, but has sufficient body to resist excessive leakage from spindle bearings

· Performs well over a wide range of temperature conditions, resulting in low, cold weather starting torque, yet does not thin down and leak out at higher operating temperatures

· Special additives are incorporated  – reduces wear and provides rust protection to equipment while the machine is standing idle during off season

· Continued and exclusive use provides extended equipment life and reduces downtime for maintenance 

· Prevents dirt, water, and other contaminants from entering bearings and other parts being lubricated
