Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
TM1284 covers four John Deere mower-conditioner models, 1207 through 1219, in one 232-page factory book, so a single John Deere 1209 technical manual PDF download serves whichever of the four sits in your barn. Diagnosing-malfunctions charts trace the power train, hydraulic system, and cutting components from symptom to cause, and the double windrow attachment takes nearly a fifth of the book, electrohydraulic valves and table shift cylinder included. Knife work runs from sharpening knife sections to replacing riveted or bolt-on ones, with dimensioned drawings so you can fabricate the stake nut wrench yourself. Set roll clearance at 0.254 to 0.635 mm (0.010 to 0.025 in.) and hold bevel gear backlash between 0.102 and 0.305 mm before closing up the roll drive gear case. Time the rolls at the timing-plate marks and keep the canvas tracking square to the table frame, since letting it rub the frame chews up the canvas over time. Bookmarked, crisp, print-ready pages; buy it once and it stays with this machine for good.

John Deere 1207, 1209, 1217, 1219 Common Problems This Manual Covers
John Deere 1209 mower conditioner rolls plugging, crop wrapping and machine quits feeding through
Remove any foreign objects wedged between the rolls, then inspect the rubber facing for peeling; worn rolls quit gripping crop and the machine turns into a plain windrower. Measure roll clearance at the closest point, 0.254 to 0.635 mm (0.010 to 0.025 in.), with no more than 5.56 mm (0.219 in.) at any point, per page 99.
Manual Section: Diagnosing Malfunctions (Power Train) p. 29Loud knocking and vibration from the wobble box area, gear case hot after short use
Check gear case oil level first; a low case cooks bearings in a hurry. Measure wobble shaft bearing rolling torque, 0.34 to 0.56 N·m (3 to 5 lb-in.), per page 147. Then check knife drive belt deflection, 13 mm (1/2 in.) under a 222 to 245 N (50 to 55 lb) pull at midspan, and torque the three gear case mounting bolts to 244 N·m (180 lb-ft), both per page 160.
Manual Section: Knife Drive Case p. 147Knife sections breaking constantly, cutterbar leaving ragged strips of uncut hay every pass
Replace broken sections and inspect guards for chips or bent ledger surfaces, torquing double guard mounting bolts to 68 N·m (50 lb-ft) per page 165. Adjust hold-downs for 0.13 to 0.38 mm (0.005 to 0.015 in.) clearance between knife section and guard, and verify the knife head clamp bolt is tight at 217 N·m (160 lb-ft), page 163.
Manual Section: Cutterbars p. 161Leaves shredding while stems come through whole, windrows bunchy and poorly formed
Check roll timing first: backlash on each side of the roll lugs must be equal within 1.524 mm (0.060 in.), with the lower roll centered on the upper within 0.762 mm (0.030 in.), per page 99. If windrows are still bunchy, back off roll clearance toward 0.635 mm (0.025 in.) at the closest point before easing spring pressure, same page.
Manual Section: Diagnosing Malfunctions (Power Train) p. 29Roll drive gear case noisy and running hot, oil leaking from the seals
Drain the oil and inspect it for metal flakes; gritty oil means a bearing is going inside. Check roll drive shaft rolling torque, 0.56 to 1.13 N·m (5 to 10 lb-in.), and torque the gear case lock bolts to 163 N·m (120 lb-ft), both on page 75. Replace weeping seals before refilling with clean gear oil.
Manual Section: Main Drive and Roll Drive Gear Case p. 75Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gear case lock bolt torque on a John Deere 1209 mower-conditioner?
The gear case lock bolts and gear lock bolts each torque to 163 N·m (120 lb-ft); the case cover mounting bolts torque to 34 N·m (25 lb-ft). p. 75
How do I adjust the knife drive belt tension on a John Deere 1207?
To adjust the knife drive belt, loosen the three gear case mounting bolts. Tighten the adjusting nut until a 222 to 245 N (50 to 55 lb) pull at the center of the belt deflects it 13 mm (1/2-in). Finally, torque the three gear case mounting bolts to 244 N·m (180 lb-ft). p. 160
What is the knife drive case oil capacity and lubricant type on a John Deere 1207 mower-conditioner?
The knife drive case has a capacity of 0.946 L (one quart) and requires SAE 85-140 API-GL5 gear lubricant. p. 24
What is the required hydraulic lift pressure for the lift cylinders on a 1209 mower-conditioner?
The required hydraulic lift pressure for the 1209 lift cylinders is a minimum of 8 964 kPa (1300 psi). p. 15
How do I adjust the canvas tension on the Double Windrow Attachment?
Turn the ratchet clockwise to tighten the canvas until the springs bottom out (they will be compressed). Then, back off the ratchet until the dog fits into the ratchet. p. 215
What do I get after purchasing this John Deere 1207 manual?
Delivery is instant: a 232-page non-searchable PDF is yours the second checkout clears. Laptop, tablet, or phone, all fine.
Can I print a copy of this John Deere 1207 Technical Manual for the shop?
Printing is allowed without restriction. Pull the pages you need for the job and bin them when they get greasy.
