GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating

and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It fur-

nishes information and instructions that will help you

achieve years of dependable performance. These

instructions have been compiled from extensive field

experience and engineering data. Some information

may be general in nature, due to unknown and varying

operating conditions. However, through experience

and these instructions, you should be able to develop

procedures suitable to your particular situation.

■ Some illustrations in this manual show the

mower with safety shields removed to provide a

better view. The mower should never be operated

with any safety shielding removed.

The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-

rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible

inline production changes, your machine may vary

slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and

change the machines as may be necessary without

notification.

Throughout this manual, references are made to right

and left directions. These are determined by standing

behind the tractor facing the direction of forward travel.

Blade rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the

top of the mower.

TRAINING

Safety instructions are important! Read all

attachment and power unit manuals; follow all

safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-

ment manuals and safety decals are available from

your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check

the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,

or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-

6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules

can result in serious injury or death.

If you do not understand any part of this manual

and need assistance, see your dealer.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and

attachment quickly in an emergency.

Operators must be instructed in and be capable

of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-

ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to

operate this equipment without proper instruc-

tions.

Never allow children or untrained persons to

operate equipment.

PREPARATION

Check that all hardware is properly installed.

Always tighten to torque chart specifications

unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing

to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear

sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;

and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured,

adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar

slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO

spline groove.

Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit

PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter

shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to

incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and

can result in personal injury or death.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or

ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely

fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death

from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable

ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Remove accumulated debris from this equip-

ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed.

Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for

location.)



Make sure shields and guards are properly

installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment

weight must be on the tractor front wheels when

attachments are in transport position. Without this

weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal

injury or death. The weight may be attained with

front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor

weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not

estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or

other hard objects that might be thrown, causing

injury or damage.

OPERATION

Keep bystanders away from equipment.

Never direct discharge toward people, animals,

or property.

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed

when operating in populated areas or other areas

where thrown objects could injure people or dam-

age property.

or rubber shielding, operation must be stopped

when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).

• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk

of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-

tive devices cannot prevent all objects from

escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing

condition.

It is possible for objects to ricochet

and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).

Do not operate or transport equipment while

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Always comply with all state and local lighting

and marking requirements.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Safety is a primary concern in the design and man-

ufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts

to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an

operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equip-

ment, hazard control and accident prevention are

dependent upon the awareness, concern, judge-

ment, and proper training of personnel involved in

the operation, transport, maintenance and storage

of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an

informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that

kind of operator.

when operating in populated areas or other areas

where thrown objects could injure people or dam-

age property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain

or rubber shielding, operation must be stopped

when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).

• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk

of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-

tive devices cannot prevent all objects from

escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing

condition.

It is possible for objects to ricochet

Hitch Point Distance and PTO Clearance

Figure 1. PTO to Mounting Point Distance - RM990-3

The standard drive is intended for use with tractors that

have 18" to 21" between the end of the tractor PTO

shaft and the mounting pin holes on the lower lift arms

when they are horizontal (refer to Figure 1). If the dis-

tance is less than 18", the slip tubes of the PTO shaft

can bottom out. If the distance exceeds 21", there may

not be sufficient engagement when operating on

uneven terrain. Shorter or longer drives are available.

Contact your WOODS dealer for assistance.

Standard Category 1 mounting pins are used when

attaching the mower to the tractor. Check to be sure

the mounting pins are properly torqued to 300 lbs-ft.

Attach the mower hitch pins to the lower tractor lift

arms and secure.

Attach the tractor top link to mower top clevis. Connect

driveline to tractor PTO shaft. A standard 1-3/8" 6B

spline driveline with a QD yoke is used to connect

mower to tractor. Adjust top link. (See page 12.)

Attach the front driveline shield tether chain to the trac-

tor to prevent driveline shield rotation.

Carefully raise mower and check for driveline clear-

ance between drive shielding and front of mower

frame; a minimum of 1/2" clearance is required. Adjust-

ment to tractor upper lift stop may be required to pre-

vent driveline from coming in contact with mower

frame.

Cutting Height Adjustment

Keep all persons away from operator control

area while performing adjustments, service, or

maintenance.

NOTICE

■ Avoid very low cutting heights. Blades striking

the ground produces one of the most damaging

shock loads a mower can encounter. Allowing

blades to contact ground repeatedly, will cause

damage to mower and drive.

Before leveling unit that is equipped with pneumatic

tires, check air pressure. Follow manufacturer's guide-

lines on tire sidewall.

Level mower from side to side. Check by measuring

from mower frame to the ground at each front corner.

Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device. See

page 12.

Adjust cutting height with tractor 3-point arms and rear

caster wheel adjustment. The cutting height will be the

distance between the blade and the ground. The

blades are approximately 5" below the top of the

mower frame. To check cutting height, place a straight

edge along top edge of mower frame as shown in Fig-

ure 2. Measure from bottom of straightedge to the

ground at locations (A) and (B). Subtract 5" from mea-

surement (B) to determine cutting height.

For best mowing results adjust the front of the mower

slightly lower than the rear. Measurement at location

(A) should be at least 1/4" greater than location (B),

and not more than 1/2" greater than location (B).

Adjust the check chains, tailwheel and/or lower tractor

lift arms to maintain desired cutting height.

NOTE: Optional check chains and front gauge

wheels are available.

Before working underneath, raise mower to

highest position and block securely. Blocking up

prevents mower dropping due to hydraulic leak

down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical

component failures.

When the cutting height is adjusted, adjust tractor top

link until mower top link attachment point (A) is aligned

vertically with mower hitch pin (B).

Figure 4. Top Link Adjustment - RM990-3

Tractor Stability

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment

weight must be on the tractor front wheels when

attachments are in transport position. Without this

weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal

injury or death. The weight may be attained with

front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor

weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not

estimate.

ATTACHING P990-3 PULL-TYPE MOWER

TO TRACTOR

Drawbar to Hitch Point Distance

Connect mower tongue to tractor drawbar. The mower

is shipped with a 1-3/8" PTO spline. The horizontal dis-

tance between the end of the tractor PTO shaft and the

drawbar hitch point should be 14". This distance must

not vary more or less than 1" or the drive may be dam-

aged when turning.

Adjust the tractor drawbar to obtain the desired draw-

bar to hitch point distance. On some tractors, a draw-

bar kit must be used to obtain the required dimension.

Check with your tractor dealer if you encounter prob-

lems.

When attaching a pull-type unit to the tractor

drawbar, always use a high-strength drawbar pin.

The drawbar pin must have a device that will lock it

into position. Secure safety chain to attachment

and tractor.

Raise mower tongue to tractor drawbar height with jack

provided and attach with a 3/4" or larger high-strength

drawbar pin. Retain pin to keep it in place.

Connect mower driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making

sure spring-activated locking pin slides freely and is

seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

When driveline is attached to tractor, attach front drive-

line shield tether chain to the tractor to prevent drive-

line shield rotation.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar

slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO

spline groove.

Adjust drive shaft carrier bearing vertically in H-frame

until driveline is as straight as possible between tractor

PTO and mower gearbox.

Remove parking jack from tongue. Attach to storage

bracket on deck. Always attach jack to tongue to hold it

up when disconnecting it from tractor.

Cutting Height Adjustment

Place tractor and mower on a level surface. Check to

make sure tire pressure is correct and equal on tractor

and mower. The correct pressure for mower pneumatic

tires is 36 psi.

NOTICE

■ Avoid very low cutting heights. Blades striking

the ground one of the most damaging shock loads

a mower can encounter. Allowing blades to contact

ground repeatedly, will cause damage to mower

and drive.

Adjust the mower front to back with an attitude rod.

Raise the mower front by turning the attitude rod nut in;

PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST

(Owner Responsibility)

___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety

decal instructions on page 5 through page 9.

___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in

good condition. Replace if damaged.

___ Check that all shields and guards are properly

installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-

aged.

___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop-

erly installed and secured.

___ Check to ensure blades are sharp, in good condi-

tion, and installed correctly. Replace if damaged.

___ Check that equipment is properly and securely

attached to tractor.

___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin

or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in trac-

tor PTO spline groove.

___ Before starting tractor, check all equipment drive-

line guards for damage and make sure they

rotate freely on all drivelines. Replace any dam-

aged guards. If guards do not rotate freely on

drivelines, repair and replace bearings before

operating.

___ Make sure the driveline guards and tether chains

are in good condition. Guards must rotate freely

on driveline. Fasten tether chains as instructed to

the tractor and the equipment.

___ Inspect area and remove stones, branches or

other hard objects that might be thrown, causing

injury or damage.

___ Do not allow riders.

___ Check all lubrication points and grease as

instructed in “Service, Lubrication Information”.

Make sure the PTO slip joint is lubricated and that

the gearbox fluid levels are correct.

___ Set tractor PTO at 540 rpm.

___ Check that all hydraulic hoses and fittings are in

good condition and not leaking before starting

tractor. Check that hoses are not twisted, bent

sharply, kinked, frayed or pulled tight. Replace

any damaged hoses immediately.

___ Raise and lower equipment to make sure air is

purged from hydraulic cylinders and hoses.

___ Make sure tractor ROPS or ROPS CAB and seat

belt are in good condition. Keep seat belt

securely fastened during operation.

___ Before starting engine, operator must be in trac-

tor seat with seat belt fastened. Place transmis-

sion in neutral or park, engage brake and

disengage tractor PTO.

STARTING AND STOPPING MOWER

Power for operating the mower is supplied by tractor

PTO. Do not exceed tractor manufacturer's rated PTO

speed of 540 rpm maximum. Know how to stop tractor

and mower quickly in case of an emergency.

Should mower become plugged, causing belt to slip,

immediately maneuver equipment into a previously cut

area and allow mower to clear accumulated material.

Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys

to cool. Stopping the mower with belt in contact with a

very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.

Stop power unit and equipment immediately

upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,

remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before

resuming operation.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE

Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain and

the height, type and density of material to be cut. Nor-

mally, ground speed will range from two to five mph.

Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed, while

thin medium-height material can be cut at a higher

ground speed.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm; this is neces-

sary to maintain proper blade speed and produce a

clean cut.

Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some

grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same

height as the surrounding area. When this occurs,

reduce tractor ground speed but maintain 540 rpm PTO

speed. The lower ground speed will permit grass to at

least partially rebound.

Under some conditions, grass will not rebound enough

to be cut evenly. In general, lower cutting heights give a

more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.

However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than

too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot

weather and invites weed growth during growing sea-

sons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable

cutting height in your area.

ACAUTION

14 Operation

20944 (Rev. 2/3/2006)

Tips

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or

other hard objects that might be thrown, causing

injury or damage.

Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Cut mate-

rial higher the first pass. Then cut at desired height, at

90° to first pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and

require less power.

Analyze area to be cut to determine best procedure.

Consider height and type of material and terrain type:

hilly, level or rough.

Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward

whenever possible.

Optional Blade

The mower is equipped with free-swinging suction type

blades as standard equipment when shipped from the

factory. If you are operating in a sandy area or where

high abrasive wear occurs and causes damage to the

fin of the standard suction type blade, an optional low

suction type blade is available.

Optional Front Roller

The tailwheels and side skids effectively reduce scalp-

ing in most cases. However, you may encounter areas

where the tailwheels and/or side skids drop into

depressions and allow center of mower to contact

ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be

installed to minimize scalping.

Uneven Terrain

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-

denly on slopes.

Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

slopes and rough terrain.

Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during

operation.

Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp

drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and mower.

TRANSPORTING P990-3 MOWER

Either the standard ratchet adjustment link or optional

hydraulic cylinder and transport bar must be installed

when transporting mower.

A transport bar, to be used in conjunction with the

hydraulic cylinder, is furnished with each P990-3

mower. It must be installed when the optional hydraulic

cylinder is used to control cutting height.

Transport Bar Storage Position (Figure 6)

When not in use, the transport bar (3) should be piv-

oted to the rear, away from the cylinder, and the lock

pin should be installed in the hole and secured with

hairpin cotter (5).

Engaging Transport Bar (Figure 7)

Raise mower with hydraulic cylinder and pivot transport

bar (4) forward over cylinder rod (6). Install lock pin (3)

OWNER SERVICE

Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-

ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-

tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait

for all moving parts to stop.

Keep all persons away from operator control

area while performing adjustments, service, or

maintenance.

Your dealer can supply original equipment

hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute

parts may not meet original equipment specifica-

tions and may be dangerous.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing

to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear

sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;

and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

The information in this section is written for operators

who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need

help, your dealer has trained service technicians avail-

able. For your protection, read and follow all safety

information in this manual.

BLOCKING METHODS

Jack stands, with a load rating of 1,000 pounds or

more, are the only approved blocking device for this

mower. A minimum of four jack stands, located under

the mower as shown in Figure 8, must be installed

before working underneath this unit. Do not position

jack stands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports

because these components can rotate.

Do not work underneath unless it is properly attached

to tractor (see Operation Section), the brakes set, key

removed, and the mower blocked securely. The

mounted unit will be anchored to minimize side to side

and front to rear movement. The pull-type unit will be

anchored front to rear.

For the mounted unit, tighten tractor lower 3-point arm

anti-sway mechanisms to prevent side to side move-

ment.

For the pull-type unit, raise mower with the standard

ratchet adjustment link or the optional hydraulic cylin-

der. When the optional hydraulic cylinder is installed

the standard equipment transport bar must be pinned

in the raised position. With either the ratchet adjust-

ment link or the optional hydraulic cylinder, lower

mower to transfer its weight to the jack stands, but do

not raise the rear wheels off of the ground.

When blocking, you must consider overall stability of

the unit. Just placing jack stands under the unit will not

ensure your safety. The working surface must be level

and solid to support the weight on the jack stands.

Ensure jack stands are stable both top and bottom, and

mower is approximately level. With full mower weight

lowered on jack stands, test blocking stability before

working underneath mower.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION (FIGURE 9)

Figure 9 shows the lubrication points. The accompany-

ing chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating

hours, based on normal conditions. Severe or unusual

conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,

particularly when operating in sandy areas.

Use SAE 90W gear lube in gearbox. Check gearbox

daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gas-

ket between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted,

repair immediately. There may be a small amount of

lube emitted from the vent plug; this is not considered

leakage. Check the gearbox every day using the dip-

stick. Oil level is to be up to the ring but not over. Over-

filling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube to

blow out vent plug. The gear lube could then ruin the

belt.

Use a lithium grease of No. 2 consistency with a MOLY

(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be

sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching

grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication

chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Do not

overgrease.

Daily lubrication of the driveline slip joint is necessary.

Failure to maintain proper lubrication can result in

AWARNING

ACAUTION

Owner Service 17

20944 (Rev. 2/3/2006)

damage to U-joints, gearbox, tractor PTO and/or the

mower driveline. Disconnect driveline from the tractor.

To lubricate driveline slip joint, insert a grease gun

through shield slots (keep fingers out of slots to prevent

injury) and apply grease to grease fitting. Move drive-

line in and out to distribute grease over the entire work-

ing area. Connect driveline to tractor.

Driveline shield bearings (12) must be greased every

eight hours. This operation requires a needle point

adapter for a grease gun. Insert the needle point into

the bearing hole and apply one good pump.

Figure 10. Belt Installation

BELT REPLACEMENT (FIGURE 10)

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper

installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley

shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for

cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without

wobble. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth moist-

ened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing

agent or commercial detergent and water.

Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use

tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over

pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and

premature belt failure.

NOTICE

■ Use care when installing or removing belt from

spring-loaded idler in step 6. Springs store energy

when extended and, if released suddenly, can

cause personal injury.

Belt replacement is accomplished in these steps:

1. Loosen nut and swing belt guide (G) away from

pulley (F).

2. Loosen nut on eyebolt (H) to relax tension in

spring.

3. Slide belt under and around drive pulley (A).

4. Route belt around pulley (F), idler (E) and pulley

(D) as shown.

5. Make sure belt is on drive pulley (A) and route belt

around spring-loaded idler (C).

6. Grasp belt between spindle pulley (B), spring-

loaded idler (C) and spindle pulley (D). Pull spring-

loaded idler with belt and route belt over pulley (B).

7. Tighten nut on eyebolt (H). Make sure spring-

loaded idler arm pivots freely with belt installed.

8. Set belt guide (G) 1/8" away from belt. Tighten to

85 lbs-ft.

SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT

NOTICE

■ Always use approved 1/2" NC x 3" grade 2

shear bolt as a replacement part. Using a hardened

bolt or shear pin may result in damage to driveline

or gearbox.

Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft. Install

shear bolt and secure with lock nut.

CHAIN OR RUBBER SHIELDING REPAIR

Full chain or rubber shielding must be installed

when operating in populated areas or other areas

where thrown objects could injure people or dam-

age property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain

or rubber shielding, operation must be stopped

when anyone comes within 300 feet (92 m).

• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk

of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-

tive devices cannot prevent all objects from

escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing

condition.

It is possible for objects to ricochet

and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).

BLADE SERVICING

Your dealer can supply genuine replacement

blades. Substitute blades may not meet original

equipment specifications and may be dangerous.

Make certain all movement of equipment com-

ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-

vice.

Low suction and general purpose suction blades are

available. Use low suction blades in sandy areas where

abrasive action could cause excessive blade wear.

General purpose suction blades are recommended for

all other applications.

Inspect blades before operation for condition and

ensure they are securely fastened. Replace blades that

are bent, excessively nicked, worn or have any other

damage. Small nicks may be ground out when sharp-

ening.

Replace blades on a spindle in pairs; an old blade and

a new blade may vary excessively in weight and cause

vibration. Never mix blade types.

Blade Sharpening

Follow the original sharpening pattern. Make an effort

to maintain balance on both blades from a spindle by

grinding the same amount from them. Blades that vary

excessively in weight can cause vibration.

Blade Removal

This mower is equipped with quick change blades.

Open blade access cover, loosen bolt (5) and rotate

blade lock (4) to allow for removal of blade pin (3).

Remove blade (2). Rotate spindle and remove opposite

blade in same manner.

Blade Installation

Make sure to position blade so the cutting edge leads

in a counter-clockwise rotation. Install blade (2), then

place blade pin (3) in hole and rotate blade lock (4) to

secure blade. Tighten bolt (5). Rotate spindle and

install opposite blade in same manner. Repeat for

remaining spindles.

BLADE SPINDLE

Blade Spindle Repair Tips

As a reference point, the grease fitting is in the top por-

tion of the spindle housing.

To minimize wear, the bearing cups, cones and sleeves

are press fit to the shaft and will require a press or sim-

ilar device for removal.

When disassembling, support housing casting to pre-

vent damage.

Remove bearing cups by placing a punch in housing

slots and driving cup out. Alternate punch positions

from side to side. Use care to prevent housing dam-

age.

Permatex 3-D Aviation Form-A-Gasket® or equivalent

is recommended as a sealant for spindle repair.

Blade Spindle Removal

Remove belt. Remove blades from spindle. Remove

bolt and washer from top of spindle shaft.

Remove split taper bushing (located on top of pulley)

by removing the two bolts and inserting them into the

threaded holes in bushing flange. Tighten alternately to

Bearing cups and cones are designed to work together.

It is important to position them so bearing cone taper

mates with bearing cup taper. See Figure 15.

Lubricate new cups (6) with a light oil. Place them in

spindle housing (5) so they will mate with cones (4).

Seat cups (6) against machined shoulder of housing

with a press or by placing a large soft drift on the flat lip

and driving them into housing.

Pack bottom bearing cone (4) with grease and place it

into housing against bearing cup (6).

NOTICE

■ Bearing failure is often a result of improper seal

installation and positioning. Follow instructions

carefully.

Lightly coat housing area where seals seat with Perma-

tex or equivalent.

Lightly lubricate seal, locate spring and place seal

squarely on housing with spring toward housing center.

Select a pipe or tubing with an outside diameter that

will set on outside seal edge. One that is too small will

bow seal cage.

Carefully press seal into housing, preventing distortion

to metal seal cage. Seal should seat firmly and

squarely against machined housing shoulder.

Make sure seal lip did not roll under.

Distortion to seal cage or seal lip damage will cause

leakage. Damaged seals must be replaced.

Place housing assembly over shaft and blade center

(9) and carefully guide over shaft while pressing shaft

into bearing cup and cone. Assembly should seat firmly

against step in shaft.

Fill housing cavity with a lithium grease of No. 2 consis-

tency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive.

Pack top bearing cone (4) with grease and place it

(taper down) on shaft. Place sleeve (2) on shaft and

press bearing onto shaft until free play is removed and

there is a slight drag (similar to adjusting automobile

wheel bearings). Check by turning housing on shaft; it

should turn freely.

NOTICE

■ Bearing adjustment is set by pressing sleeve

against bearing until proper adjustment is attained.

Adjustment is maintained by seating split taper

bushing against sleeve.

Adjusting bearings too tightly will shorten their life.

Should you overtighten them, hold housing and rap top

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE

Read all of this section before starting any repair. Many

steps are dependent on each other.

Check gearbox for leakage and shaft side and end

play. If excessive shaft play is found, disassemble

gearbox and inspect bearings and shafts.

Leakage can occur at top cover and at shaft seals.

Leakage problems should be corrected immediately to

prevent damage to drive belt from gearbox oil.

Always clean any spilled lubricant with a cloth moist-

ened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing

agent or commercial detergent and water. Be sure to

clean pulley grooves.

The sealants recommended for gearbox repair are Per-

matex Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket® or Loctite 515

Gasket Eliminator®.

Leakage Repair

To repair top cover leakage, clean top cover and hous-

ing sides, then remove cover. Remove old sealant from

cover and housing.

Apply sealant to top cover and replace. Retorque hous-

ing bolts.

Horizontal seal leakage should be repaired by replac-

ing the seal. The gearbox should be removed from the

mower to accomplish this. Remove old seal with care

to prevent damage to seal bore and shaft. Sealant

should be applied to the seal bore before installing the

new seal. The new seal should be seated squarely in

the bore against snap ring. Press seal into place with a

piece of pipe or tubing that sets against the outside

edge of the seal. Tubing with an outside diameter that

is too small will bow seal cage and ruin the seal.

Removing Gearbox from Mower

Remove belt and driveline shields.

Remove rear driveline shield bearings and remove

shield. Remove snap ring from gearbox shaft. Remove

shear bolt from end yoke and remove driveline.

Remove drive belt from drive sheave.

Remove gear stand from mower.

Remove drive sheave from mower by removing bolts

from split taper bushing and turning them into threaded

holes on bushing flange. Tighten evenly, forcing the

bushing and drive sheave apart.

Remove gearbox from gear stand.

Gearbox Disassembly

(S/N 788882 and prior, Figure 23)

NOTE: A five ton press will be required for vertical gear

shaft removal.

Remove top cover (12) and drain all gear lube.

Clamp gearbox upside-down in a large vise. Place a

long 1/2" rod or punch through the horizontal shaft

shear bolt hole to prevent shaft rotation. Remove stake

20944 (Rev. 2/3/2006)

nut (19). If nut is too tight to remove with a spanner

wrench, loosen with a punch and hammer.

Carefully remove vertical shaft seal (18) to prevent

damage to shaft threads and seal bore.

Remove gearbox from vise. Use care when removing

horizontal shaft seal (1) and retaining ring (2) to pre-

vent damage to shaft seal surface and housing bore.

Place puller (20) over horizontal shaft (6) and insert a

1/2" bolt or rod through horizontal shaft shear bolt hole.

Tighten puller bolts evenly to remove shaft from hous-

ing.

Place housing upside-down in a press and remove ver-

tical shaft (14) by pressing through the top of the hous-

ing. Remove bearing cone (15) from vertical shaft (14)

with a spreader. Remove all cups from housing with a

puller or by carefully driving them out with a punch.

Inspect gears for excessive wear. Gears are forged

and surfaces will appear rough, even when new. Some

wear is normal. Gears will show more wear on the

loaded side and the pattern should be smooth.

Inspect both gear shafts and stake nut for grooves,

nicks or bumps where seals seat. Replace if damage

cannot be repaired by resurfacing with emery cloth.

Clean gearbox housing and inspect for damage.

Replace if cracks are found.

cone (15) against cup (16). Press bottom bearing cone

(15) onto shaft until all free play is removed and there is

a slight drag when rotating housing on shaft (similar to

setting automobile front wheel bearings). If bearings

are too tight, loosen by holding housing and rapping on

end of vertical gear shaft (14) with a shot hammer or

equivalent.

Install O-ring (17) into groove on vertical gear shaft (14)

next to bearing cone (15). Place a small bead of gasket

sealer on top of O-ring.

Use the proper size tubing to press against the outside

edge of seal to prevent seal damage. Apply gasket

sealant to seal bore and press output shaft seal (18)

into housing until it seats against housing shoulder.

Coat inner portion of seal with grease.

Thread stake nut (19) onto shaft (14) in through seal

(18). Tighten until nut is snug against bearing cone

(15). Use a punch to stake the lip of stake nut (19) into

shaft (14) keyway.

Insert shaft (6) through top of housing out through hori-

zontal hole, then set bearing (7) into cup (8). Press

bearing (5) onto gear shaft (6). Do not use excessive

force to seat bearing.

Place bearing cup (4) over horizontal shaft (6) and

press into housing until there is a slight drag on bear-

ings when shaft is rotated (similar to setting automobile

front wheel bearings). When you have bearings

adjusted, select shims from shim kit (3) and place on

top of bearing cup (4) until they are flush with bottom of

snap ring groove in horizontal shaft (6), then install

snap ring (2).

Apply gasket sealant to housing seal bore and press

seal (1) into housing until it seats against snap ring or is

flush with housing.

Apply gasket sealant to top of housing flange, replace

top cover and secure with bolts (10) and washers (9).

Attach gearbox to gear stand and torque mounting

bolts.

Remove the dipstick and pour in one quart of gear

lube. Wait five minutes and add an additional pint and

one half. Allow an additional five minutes for the lube to

flow through the bearings, then check to make sure

half of the horizontal gear shaft is covered. Replace the

dipstick.

(3) by hand. If end float is higher than 0.012", insert

shim between input shaft (3) and rear bearing (8).

Repeat until end float is less than 0.012". Check rota-

tional torque by hand. The torque should be less than

2.2 lbs.-inch. Check that the gear backlash is between

0.006" and 0.016". You should not have to adjust the

backlash.

Press in input oil seal (22), using a tube of the correct

diameter. Be careful not to damage the seal lip. Press

oil cap (23) on to cover the rear of housing, using a

tube of the correct diameter.

Check gearbox housing for leaks by plugging all holes

except one. Apply 4 psi compressed air and immerse

the gearbox in water to verify that there are no leaks.

Remove gearbox from water and dry off with com-

pressed air. Add SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until it runs

out of side level hole. Tighten all plugs.

Drive Pulley Installation

Invert gear stand.

Install drive pulley and split taper bushing with key on

gearbox vertical shaft.

The distance between the centerline of the lower pulley

and the bottom of the gear stand is critical. Place a

straightedge along the bottom of the gear stand and

measure from it to the centerline of the pulley. This

measurement should be 2.35", plus or minus .03". Vari-

ation from this dimension could cause belt misalign-

ment and premature belt failure. See Figure 25.

Tighten the bolts in the split taper bushing alternately

until they are torqued to 12 lbs-ft. Check the dimension

when tightening is complete; remove and realign if the

dimension was not held.

Install the gear stand on the mower frame.

Install the belts, driveline and driveline shielding.

Bolt Torque & Size Charts (Rev. 3/28/2007)

BOLT TORQUE CHART

Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specific

application.
