Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
An hour from now you could have the wobble box half out of your header with the Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 repair manual PDF (OEM 6-14912) open beside you, all 344 pages of factory repair coverage for these draper headers. Hydraulic schematics trace the combine adapter circuits through forward, reverse, and over relief operation, while the troubleshooting section walks crop loss at the cutter bar back to the reel, drapers, or feeding. Bearing replacement, draper tensioning repair, and the complete wobble box rebuild each finish with the assembly checked and timed. Set relief pressure to the factory 137.896 bar (2000 psi), then ballast header float between 45.36 and 68.04 kg (100 to 150 pounds) for dry ground. Every hour the header sits, the crop stands. Bookmarked and text searchable, this PDF rides in the cab or the shop, wherever the header quits.

Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case IH 2062 draper header rides too heavy, skid shoes wearing fast, cutter bar pushes dirt
Weigh the cutter bar float at each end with a spring scale. Set 45.36 to 68.04 kg (100 to 150 pounds) for dry ground, per page 38, and run lighter on wet ground. Then back off the Float Optimizer working setting, adjustable from 13% to 93% of sensor range on page 334, until the skids stop gouging.
Manual Section: Flotation p. 38Automatic header height hunts on hills, won't hold cut height, needs recalibration every morning
Test the ground height sensor before chasing calibration. On a 2300 Series combine the signal should sweep 2.5 to 7.5 volts through its travel, per page 254. Check potentiometer resistance against the 0.1 to 1 mega ohm range on page 335, and replace any sensor that reads open or erratic.
Manual Section: Float Optimizer p. 331Reel stalls in heavy crop, drive chain jumps teeth and runs loose
Check reel drive chain tension first: a 50 N (11 pounds) push should deflect the chain 3 mm (1/8 inch) at mid-span, per page 136. Adjust the tensioner, then torque the large sprocket nut to 50 Nm (40 foot pounds). Replace any chain that stays loose after adjustment before harvest gets away from you.
Manual Section: Reel Drive System p. 136Sickle sections breaking, ragged cutting, wobble box running hot and noisy at the knife drive
Drain and refill the wobble box with 2.2 liters of oil, per page 63. Set the drive arm so it just contacts the knife head at 0.254 mm (0.010 inch) clearance, shown on page 81, with the knife flat on the guard ledgers, then torque the 5/8 x 3 inch bolt to 217 Nm (160 foot pounds).
Manual Section: Knife Drive System p. 63Side drapers stall or run slow in heavy windrows, hydraulic oil running hot
Check hydraulic oil level before anything else; the system holds 33 liters with 27 liters in the reservoir, per page 167. Change the filter if it is past the 250 hour interval (50 hours on a new machine). If drapers still lag, trace the circuit through the drive system schematic starting on page 84.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 167Frequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specifications for Grade 5 bolts on the Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 draper header?
Torque values for Grade 5 bolts vary by size. For example, a 1/4 inch bolt requires 108 to 132 pound-inches, while a 1/2 inch bolt requires 80 to 96 pound-feet. p. 11
What is the hydraulic oil capacity for the Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 Draper Header system?
The total hydraulic system capacity is 33 liters (8-3/4 gallons), while the reservoir alone holds 27 liters (7-1/8 gallons). p. 167
What is the recommended service interval for the hydraulic oil filter on a Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 draper header?
The hydraulic oil filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 250 hours thereafter, and whenever the hydraulic oil is changed. p. 169
What is the correct torque for the wobble box mounting bolts on Case IH 2042, 2052, 2062 draper headers?
The wobble box mounting bolts should be torqued to 271 Nm (200 foot pounds). p. 81
How do I check the relief pressure for the side draper forward operation?
Connect test equipment to the pressure line identified with an orange tie strap. Run the combine at field operating speed, close the needle valve on the test equipment until the flow meter reads 0 GPM, and the pressure should be 2500 PSI ± 50 PSI. p. 157
Is this Case IH 2042 manual a download or a disc?
Immediate download of the complete 344-page searchable Repair Manual. Access it on any device, from a laptop at your desk to a phone in the field.
Can I print just the pages I need from this Case IH 2042 manual?
Yes, print as many copies as you want, and there are no restrictions. Many mechanics print the section they need and bring it to the shop floor.
