SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture 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
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, 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.

INSTALLATION
Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in
this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or
connect in any other way.

TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement 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 1-800-3196637.) 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 attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A P HYS ICIA N IM ME DIATE LY IF FLU ID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

12 Safety

29977 (Rev. 1/20/2006)

OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
the cutter. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the cutter, the tractor,
and all safety practices before starting operation. Read
the safety rules and safety decals on page 7 through
page 12.
This machine is a heavy-duty cutter designed for ditchbank and side bank mowing. Five foot and six foot cutting heads are available in 540 rpm and 1000 rpm models.
The 1000 rpm unit is designated with the marking
“1000 rpm” on the front and rear center frame, and the
input gearbox has a “1000 rpm” tag attached to it.

DANGER
Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
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 protective 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).

WARNING
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM (1000 RPM on Q
Series cutters). Do not exceed.

GENERAL TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
Mount on tractors of adequate size; 4000 lbs minimum
weight for S105, and 5000 lbs minimum weight for
S106. Tractors should have a minimum 3-point lift
capacity of 2500 lbs for the S105 and 3000 lbs for the
S106.
Stabilizer bars must be used on lower 3-point hitch
arms to minimize cutter side to side sway.
An adjustable, rigid top link must be used to achieve
the tilt adjustments.

TRACTOR FRONT END STABILITY

WARNING
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 a
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
You must use a center frame counterweight box
filled with steel to a minimum 400 lbs.
The use of 3-point mounted equipment can cause loss
of tractor front end stability.
If there is any question at all of the tractor stability or
the tractor rockshaft strength, use a counterweight of
approximately 400 lbs or more on left end of cutter center frame. The rockshaft is required to carry all torsion
load resulting from cutter head weight. Adding weight
to the left side of the cutter frame reduces the torsion
load.

CAUTION
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
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.

___ Check to be sure each gearbox is half full of 90W
gear lube and has vent plug installed.
___ Check to ensure PTO shaft and cutter head universal joints and all other lubrication points are
properly serviced.
___ Check to ensure all safety shielding is properly
installed and in good condition.
___ Check to ensure PTO shielding rotates freely.
___ Clear mowing area of debris that could be picked
up and thrown by cutter.
___ Check cutting height and cutter attitude.

CUTTING HEIGHT &
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
Place tractor and cutter on a level area. Lower cutting
head (parallel to ground but suspended in air). Adjust
tractor 3-point lower arms to position cutter center section level from side to side and level with the cutting
head. On some tractors, the left lift arm can telescope
up or be locked down. When using this cutter, it must
be locked down.
With center section height adjusted, adjust tractor top
link to position front of cutter head approximately 1/2"
to 1" lower than the rear for normal cutting.
Gauge wheels may be adjusted to four different settings. Set the inside and outside wheels in the same
hole at the desired cutting height.
Check chains are optional but are recommended.
Adjust check chains to carry the cutter level and at
desired height when 3-point lift is released and allowed
to return to its lowest position.

SIDE SKID ADJUSTMENT
Side skids are designed to carry cutter head over
uneven ground and minimize scalping. With the cutting

14 Operation

___ Place tractor PTO and transmission in neutral
before attempting to start engine.
___ Review and follow all safety practices presented
on page 7 through page 12.

NOTICE
■

Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight
and all hydraulic lines and hoses are in good condition before engaging tractor PTO.

WARNING
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A P HYS ICIA N IM ME DIATE LY IF FLU ID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

WARNING
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until machine
is securely blocked or placed in lowest position
and system pressure is released by operating
valve levers.

Always use the tractor hydraulic system with built-in
float when available. On tractors with closed-center
systems that do not have float, you may lock the control in the down mode. This will allow the head to float.
Do not lock the control in the down mode on tractors
with open-center systems. Refer to the tractor owner's
manual or contact your dealer if you have questions as
to the type of hydraulic system used on your tractor.

GENERAL MOWING

WARNING
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
This cutter may be used for mowing in either forward or
reverse. Reverse mowing will enable you to cut close
to obstructions. When mowing in both directions, cutter
should be level front to rear.

Operate the open-center system that does not have a
float with the control in the neutral position. This will
allow cutter head to float up when encountering an
obstruction.
For tractors without hydraulic controls, an auxiliary control valve may be used. It has three positions: pull out
to raise, push in to slightly lower, and push all the way
in and snap into detent to allow cutter head to float.

Tractor and Cutter Operation

Blade Selection

CAUTION
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.
General purpose suction blades are recommended for
normal mowing. Flat blades are recommended for
brush mowing and in sandy areas where abrasive
action could cause excessive blade wear. Final blade
selection must be left to your judgement, depending on
the job to be accomplished and the desired results.

Cutter Head Hydraulic Lift
The cutter head is raised with a 3-1/2" single-acting
hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder, which lifts only, may be
controlled by either tractor hydraulic controls or an
optional auxiliary hydraulic valve. The head is lowered
by gravity.
There is an orifice restrictor in the hydraulic line to control the fall.

NOTICE
■

Always raise center section before raising or
lowering cutter head. This will provide clearance
for the inside gauge wheel. Failure to raise center
section will result in rolling tire off of rim.

■

Never install a double-acting cylinder as damage to the cutter will occur.
When mowing, set hydraulic valve in the float position.
This will allow cutter to follow the ground contour.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

WARNING
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
This cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the
PTO control at idle rpm to prevent undue stress on
tractor, cutter drivelines and gearboxes. Set tractor
PTO speed and tractor throttle to operate at either 540
rpm or 1000 rpm, depending on which model cutter you
have. Change ground travel by using higher or lower
gears. Be sure operator is familiar with all tractor controls and can stop it and the cutter in an emergency.
The operator should give complete, undivided attention
to operating the tractor and cutter when mowing.

Operation 15

Brush and Ditch Bank Mowing

WARNING
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.
■

Do not raise cutter head with PTO engaged. A
raised cutter head exposes blades and increases
thrown object hazards. Always operate with cutter
head close to surface being cut.
When operating this cutter on ditch banks and cutting
brush, the operator must be alert. Should the cutter hit
an obstruction, the front of the tractor will usually slide
toward the ditch (to the right). It would be possible to
run the tractor and cutter into the ditch if mowing speed
is too high or operator is not alert. On steep banks, it
may be necessary to use the left turning brake to counteract the load occurring when cutter is hitting brush.
This cutter can handle brush up to 3" without serious
damage if reasonable judgement is used. Sometimes,
in ditches, it is well to raise the center section and cutter head as high as needed and then lower it gradually
onto top of brush. This will produce a good shredding
job and usually is the best method for heavy brush.
When mowing steep banks with cutter on the uphill
side, it is possible to raise cutter head high enough to
over-center and make it difficult to lower. When this
occurs, it will be necessary to maneuver tractor to
cause lowering to take place.

TRANSPORT

WARNING
■

Before transporting, stop tractor PTO, raise
cutter center section, then raise cutter head and
install transport bar. A raised cutter head can fall
and crush. Keep away; never go underneath. Lower
cutter head after transport and for storage.
When transporting the machine or working on the
underside, attach lock-up bar (1) to center frame (5),
using clevis pin (2), and secure with klik pin (3).

BLADE SERVICING

NOTICE
■

Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious
injury.
Raise wings and lock in up position. Inspect blades
before each use to determine that they are properly
installed and in good condition. Check to be sure
blades are snug but still swivel on blade pin (see Blade
Installation). Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn or has any other damage. Small
nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

Blade Removal
Align crossbar and blade pin assembly with blade
access hole in cutter frame. Remove bolt (1) and blade
pin lock clip (2). Slide keyhole plate (3) out of blade pin
groove and remove. Remove spacers and drive pin out
of crossbar.

NOTICE
■

If blade is seized in crossbar and extreme force
will be required to remove it, support crossbar
from below to prevent gearbox damage.

Blade Installation
Apply liberal coating of Never Seez® or equivalent to
blade pin and crossbar hole. Make sure blade is offset
away from deck with cutting edge toward direction of
rotation. Install pin (9) through blade (8) and push up
tightly against crossbar (7). Install as many spacers as
possible, allowing enough space for keyhole plate (3)
to slide into groove of blade pin. Keyhole plate (3) must
be installed with formed ears up as shown. Insert lock
clip (2) over keyhole plate and into blade pin groove
and secure with bolt (1). When installation is complete,
blade should be snug, but still swivel on pin without
excessive force. Retain any spacers not used in shimming blade to be used when either installing new blade
or when blade wear occurs.

NOTICE
■

Crossbar rotation is counter-clockwise when
looking down on the cutter.

■

When sharpening blades grind each blade the
same amount to maintain balance. When replacing
blades, replace in pairs. Unbalanced blades will
cause excessive vibration which can damage gearbox bearings. Vibration may also cause structural
cracks in cutter housing.

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
A slip clutch is designed to slip, protecting the gearbox
and driveline, should the cutter strike an obstruction.
When a unit sets for a long period of time, such as winter storage, the clutch can rust and seize. When this
occurs, loosen the spring tension and pry clutch plates
apart. Engage PTO and slip clutch. Adjust clutch as
specified.
The maximum the springs should be compressed on a
standard clutch is 1-3/4" at dimension “A”.
For a heavy-duty clutch and wing drive clutches, compress springs a minimum of 1-25/32" and a maximum
of 1-13/16" at dimension “A”.

Figure 4. Blade Removal

18 Owner Service

If a clutch continues to slip with springs compressed to
the maximum settings, check friction discs for excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" thick when new. Replace after
1/32" wear. (Minimum disc thickness is 3/32".)

DEALER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described herein requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.

WARNING
■

Lower cutter to ground, turn tractor engine off
and remove key before performing any maintenance or service.

■

When completing a maintenance or service
function, make sure all safety shields are in good
condition and properly installed before placing cutter in service.

Leakage at the horizontal seal, top cover, or between
the housing and side covers and side gear housings
can be corrected without removing gearbox from cutter.
The sealant recommended for gearbox repair is Permatex Aviation 3D Form-A Gasket® or equivalent.

Leakage Repair
Repair top cover leakage by removing and cleaning top
cover and top of gearbox.
Use care to prevent foreign material from entering the
gearbox. Apply a thin coat of Permatex to top of gearbox and cover bolts. Install a new gasket and replace
cover.

Always use personal protection devices such
as eye and ear protection when performing maintenance and service functions.

Repair horizontal seal or leakage between side housing and gearbox, remove top cover and siphon gear
lube from box. Remove the leaking seal and replace
(refer to Seal Installation). Use care to prevent rolling
seal lip under. Repair leakage between side housing
and gearbox by removing housing and replacing
square O-ring. Be sure to reinstall shims when installing side housing.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE

Seal Installation

Read this complete section before any repair. Many
steps are dependent on each other.

Proper seal installation is important. An improperly
installed seal will leak and could result in gearbox failure.

CAUTION
■

Always maintain gearboxes half full of 90W gear lube.
Be sure proper vent plugs are installed in wing gearboxes.
Troubleshooting is an important part of gearbox maintenance. Check for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage may be caused by a vent plug not venting.
The vent plug has an internal relief valve set at approximately 5 psi. Remove plug, apply low air pressure to
bottom of plug, and be sure it is venting out the top.
Operating gearboxes over half full of gear lube may
also cause seals to leak. Also check for cracks in housing. If either of these conditions exists, correct them,
clean up area where leakage was evident, put cutter
back into service and check area for leakage.
Bearing misadjustment or failure is indicated by noise
and excessive side and end play in gear shafts. If
noted, readjust bearings or disassemble and inspect
bearings. Excessive end play in vertical shafts may
also indicate crossbars are not properly shimmed.
Leakage may occur at these points: top cover, vertical
or horizontal seals and at the square ring between side
housings and gearbox.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

Clean area in housing or cap where seal outer diameter seats and apply a thin coat of gasket sealant.
Inspect gear shafts and sleeves. Pay specific attention
to areas where seals seat. Check for cracks, grooves,
nicks or bumps. Replace housing, shaft or sleeve if
damage cannot be repaired by resurfacing with emery
cloth.
Lubricate seal lip and carefully guide over sleeve or
shaft using a blunt tool such as a letter opener. Be
careful not to roll seal lip under. Do not use a knife
blade as it will nick and ruin seal.
Place seal squarely on housing (spring-loaded lip
toward inside of gearbox). Select a seal driver, a piece
of pipe or tubing with an OD that will set on outside
edge of seal but will clear housing. A driver that is too
small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
Carefully press seal into housing, preventing distortion
to metal seal cage. Seat vertical seal firmly and
squarely against machined surface and horizontal seal
flush with housing.
Distortion to seal cage or damage to seal lip will cause
seal to leak. Remove and replace seals damaged in
installation.

Dealer Service 21

Removing Gearbox from Cutter
Remove safety shielding. Remove top cover and
siphon gear lube from gearbox. Remove drive lines.
Remove crossbar (see Crossbar Removal). Remove
gearbox from cutter.

Gearbox Assembly - Cutter Head

(similar to adjusting front wheel bearings on an automobile). Check by spinning housing. It should turn
freely.
If bearings are too tight, hold housing and rap gear
shaft with a lead hammer. Do not leave bearings
adjusted too tight. Proper adjustment is essential to
good bearing life.

Press cups into main housing until they seat against
machined shoulders. Press bearings onto shafts until
they seat against machined surface next to gear.

Install input shaft seal.

Install vertical shaft into gearbox housing, and horizontal shaft into horizontal housing, then press bearings on
with sleeve until all free play is removed (similar to
adjusting front wheel bearings on an automobile).
Check by spinning housing. It should turn freely.

Bearing adjustment on the input shaft is set with the
sleeve and maintained by tightening a large hex nut
against the sleeve, installing a dowel plug in the nut,
and tightening the set screw against the dowel. Prior to
installing the nut, clean the threads on the nut and the
shaft and apply two drops of Loctite on the threads.

If bearings are too tight, hold housing and rap gear
shaft with a lead hammer. Do not leave bearings
adjusted too tight. Proper adjustment is essential to
good bearing lift.
Install the vertical and horizontal shaft seals.
After seating the seal on the vertical shaft, depending
on when the gearbox was manufactured there are two
options:
1. Place a 1-5/8 ID x 2-31/32 OD washer over the
shaft and into the neck of the gearbox housing. You
will need to tap this washer in place until the
gearbox is installed on the cutter.
2. Press a 1-5/8 ID x 2-3/4 OD washer and a washer
retainer firmly against the seal.
Bearing adjustment on the vertical shaft is set with the
sleeve and maintained with proper crossbar shimming.
Bearing adjustment on the horizontal shaft is set with
the sleeve and maintained by tightening a large hex nut
against the sleeve, installing a dowel plug in the nut
and tightening a set screw against the dowel. Prior to
installing the nut, clean the threads on the nut and the
shaft and apply two drops of Loctite on the threads.

Horizontal Housing Installation
With the housing assembled, place the square O-ring
on the housing and install to gearbox, tighten the four
bolts evenly. Turn the gears against each other to
determine how they rotate. They should turn freely. If
there is a spot where they turn hard, install a gasket
between the horizontal housing and gearbox.

Gearbox Assembly - Input
Press cups into main housing until they seat against
machined shoulders. Press bearings onto shafts until
they seat against machined surface next to gear.
Install input shaft into gearbox housing, then press
bearing on with sleeve until all free play is removed

22 Dealer Service

Output Shaft Installation
Place the square O-ring on the housing and install to
gearbox, tightening the four bolts evenly. Turn the
gears against each other to determine how they rotate.
They should turn freely without bearing end play. If
there is a spot where they turn hard, install a gasket
between housing and gearbox. If there is bearing end
play, remove gasket.
Install seals on both ends of shaft.

CROSSBAR
Removal
For crossbar removal, it is necessary to gain access to
bottom side of cutter. Raise cutter and securely block
up. You may use either puller screw (6) or a small
hydraulic jack to remove crossbar. See Figure 6.
Loosen bolts on crossbar clamp. Remove bolt retaining
washer by prying washer up and breaking weld.
Remove washer and bolt. Remove blades from crossbar (see page 18). Assemble clevises (1) to each end
of crossbar, utilizing blade pins, spacers, keyhole
plates and blade pin clips.
Position tube assembly (5) with threaded nut toward
crossbar. Install pad assembly (4) in nut on square tube
assembly.
Bolt square tube assembly to the clevises using 5/8" x
4-1/2" bolts (2). Insert puller screw assembly (6) into
square tube assembly (5) and tighten against pad
assembly (4) an gear shaft as shown. For best results,
strike head of puller screw with a sledge hammer while
tightening screw with a wrench. If crossbar has been
installed with Loctite, it may be necessary to apply heat
(greater than 500°F) to crossbar to break Loctite bond.

links (7) to space it away from crossbar. Place hydraulic jack on square tube so end of jack presses against
end of gearbox shaft. Slowly apply force with hydraulic
jack.
NOTE: Hydraulic jack will not operate if tipped more
than 90°. It may be necessary to apply heat to break
Loctite bond on crossbar. Use caution to prevent bending crossbar when using either removal method.

Installation
The anti-wrap washer (2) was added as an inline production change. Your cutter may not be equipped with
the anti-wrap washer (2). It is designed to minimize foreign material wrapping around the gear shaft and causing seal damage. You may order an anti-wrap kit for
installation on your cutter.

Shimming
A properly shimmed crossbar is essential to obtain
good gearbox bearing life. Make sure the gearbox vertical shaft bearing adjustment is correct. Bearings
should be just tight enough to remove all free play. You
should feel a slight drag caused by the seals, but not
enough drag to indicate pre-loaded bearings.

Select the 1-5/8" ID x 2-5/16" OD x 7 GA washer (1)
from the shim pack and install as shown. Install the
anti-wrap washer (2) next to the 7 GA washer as
shown.

Press shims in place very tightly and feel to see if
more shims are needed. When you reach the point
where adding one more shim will extend above
crossbar shoulder, do not add that shim.

2. Apply Locquic® primer to gearbox vertical shaft
and hole in crossbar. Wipe off with clean cloth and
reapply. This reduces Loctite curing time. Do not
reapply blue Loctite until all solvent smell has
gone.
NOTE: Omit step 2 when installing a clamp-type
crossbar.

SPRING-LOADED
WHEEL YOKE ADJUSTMENT
Tighten elastic stop nuts on spring bolts until 1/4" of
bolt thread extends through nut.

1-SPOOL, 3-WAY VALVE
This valve is an extremely closely-fitted unit. Great caution should be taken to keep all dirt and impurities out
of it. Any foreign matter could ruin sealing surfaces.

Open-Center or Closed-Center
This valve can be used with tractors having either a
closed-center or open-center hydraulic system. The
valve, as shipped, is ready for use with open-center
systems. To adapt it for use with closed-center systems, remove the plug adjacent to the outlet port and
replace with the power-beyond sleeve and plug
included in box of parts. Also, reset pressure relief
valve to a closed position by removing cap (45) and
turning adjustment screw (43) all the way in. Replace
cap (45).
In operation, an open-center system allows oil to flow
freely through valve when all spools are in neutral. it is
used on most tractor systems. The closed-center valve
is blocked, allowing no oil to circulate when spools are
in neutral. This system is used on late model John
Deere 3010, 4010, etc., Ford model 6000, and MF
models 1100 and 1130.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

Operation
The valve spool is equipped to operate a single-acting
cylinder and has a float position detent. The spool will
automatically return to neutral when not in detent. With
spool in neutral, cylinder will be held in position.

Servicing
Spool Sticking
Any tendency of spools to stick in position is usually
caused when mounting bolts are pulled down too tight,
or the valve is mounted on an uneven surface. Also,
excessive pressure will make spools stick.
Lift Check Service
The load lift checks are used to prevent a load from
dropping prior to starting to raise when the spool is
being moved slowly to the raised position from neutral.
If these checks leak by, so that the load does not hold
properly, remove lift checks, inspect the check and
seats, and replace if necessary.
Spool Removal
The spool is selectively fitted in body and cannot be
interchanged or exchanged. However, it may be
removed to replace seals, but it is not necessary that it
be removed completely. To replace seals on any spool,
remove handle and snap ring, then push spool far
enough out back of valve to expose V-cup seal on handle end. Remove and replace with new seal V-cup facing inward. Remove retaining screw from other end of
spool. Slide spool through the new seal, being careful
not to roll over the edge. Slide forward far enough to
expose the seal in back of valve. Replace it the same
way, slip spool back into its normal position, and reassemble.
Fitting leakage
Use a thread sealant on all fittings to prevent leakage.

Cutter Head Gearbox Shield Installation
Refer to page 38.
Remove four gearbox cover bolts. Place shield (34)
over gearbox and reinstall bolts.

Blade Installation
Raise cutter.
The cutter blades are shipped separately.
Remove bolt, spacer plug, keyhole plate and spacer
plates. Drop the blade pin out. Discard shipping spacer.
Install pin upward through blade. Be sure blade is right
side up. Reinstall pin. Replace spacers and keyhole
plate. If the fit is too tight, one of the thin spacers may
be removed. Reinstall spacer plug and bolt. It is not
necessary to torque the bolt excessively.

Assembly 31

Tire and Skid Assembly Installation
Refer to parts drawing on page 38.
The mower is shipped with skids assembled to rear
corners.
If tires and wheels are used, assemble the solid laminated tire (24) to cutter frame with one lock washer
(62), and secure with one 1" NF hex nut (61).
If skids are used instead of wheels, install two 3/4 x
2-1/4" hex head cap screws (57), 3/4" standard flat
washers (58), and a 3/4 x 1 x 1-7/8" sleeves (56).
Secure with a 3/4" NC hex lock nuts (59).
Tires or skids may be adjusted up or down for desired
mowing height. Cutter should be adjusted so rear outer
skid does not carry any weight under normal conditions
as it encounters considerable side slipping action when
turning. The inner side skid should be adjusted to prevent cutter from scalping, but so it does not ride on the
ground in normal mowing.
Adjust front skids so they prevent scalping and so they
will carry cutter when the tractor goes through a low
spot. When skids are used, the weight of the cutter
should be carried on the tractor and not on skids or
rapid wear will result. After desired height has been
selected, bolt left and right wheel guards in place.
Secure with 1/2 x 1-3/4" carriage bolt and 1/2" flanged
lock nut.

Lubrication
Fill both center and cutter gearboxes half full of 90 EP
gear lube or similar transmission oil. These boxes are
sealed. If there is no leakage, only occasional oil
checks are required.
Check for leaks in the hydraulic system. On cutter
gearbox, remove top plug and replace with special
vented pipe plug from box of parts.

Checking the Machine
Raise and lower the 3-point hitch very carefully, and be
sure drive shaft does not tend to bottom in any position,
and that it does not come apart or get too loose in any
position. If the drive shaft is too short, there are alternate tubular drive units available.
Raise and lower cutter frame very carefully, being sure
none of the bolt heads interfere with drive linkage, etc.,
and that drive shaft slides freely and works properly.
Cutter should raise to approximately a vertical position.
Start cutter slowly and be sure blades don't interfere
with anything. The drive must operate smoothly and
freely. Now raise and lower the cutter slowly with drive
shaft turning and again check for interferences or problems.

32 Assembly

Adjust so center frame and cutter frame ride with front
slightly lower than rear for normal mowing. For variations, see instructions in Operation section.
Reinstall the shield on the cutter.

Chain Shielding Installation

Check Chain Installation
Check chains are used to act as lower limit stops when
lowering center frame. They will also prevent the cutter
from settling when tractor hydraulic system will not hold
the load on the 3-point hitch.
To install, bolt end of chain to diagonal brace of 3-point
hitch in holes provided. Position chain on underneath
side of plate and install bolt up through chain and
through plate. Connect the keyhole hook plates, one on
either side of top link.
It may be necessary to replace top link pivot pins with
long 3/4 x 6" bolt provided. Adjust chains as required to
carry cutter at desired height and angle.

Counterweight Installation (Optional)
This cutter throws a considerable side load on the 3point hitch which results in torsion in cross shaft of tractor. If tractor has a fairly small cross shaft, it is advisable to use a counterweight on the left of center frame.
This counterweight, as provided, weighs 400 lbs and
bolts in place as shown on page 36. Also “suitcase”
weights may be used in place of the counterweight box.
Use as many as required to attain the 400 lbs counterweight. An empty counterweight box may also be purchased which, if filled with steel punch slugs, will weigh
approximately 400 lbs. Use at least 400 lbs; more
weight will not be harmful to the machine and may be
of some help.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

Tailwheel (Optional)
The tailwheel is ideal for mowing on relatively level
ground, orchards, etc. It may not be too useful when
mowing ditch banks and rough ground.
To install tailwheel, position angle frame with cross pipe
of tailwheel frame between two forward lugs on center
frame and install long pin provided. Attach spring cup
assembly between the two rear lugs provided on center
frame.
Height adjustment is accomplished by positioning
spring cup attaching bolt into different holes in tailwheel
tubular member. This is a spring-mounted tailwheel
and will absorb some shock loading very well.

Stump Jumper (Optional)
Remove blade pins and blades from crossbar. Remove
straps from pan assembly. Discard 3/16" thick spacer
which is under keyhole plate.
Install one strap on stump jumper. Slide over crossbar.
Install second strap. Align blade pin holes.
Insert blade pin through blade, stump jumper and
crossbar. Secure with keyhole plate, lock plate and 1/2"
bolt. Use as many blade pin shims as necessary so all
freedom is taken from blade pin. Reassemble straps to
pan as shown.

Control Valve Installation (Optional)
The valve provided is a single-spool valve set up for
use with open-center hydraulic systems. Refer to
page 27 for instructions to convert it for use with
closed-center systems. Tractors with closed-center
systems include: Ford, John Deere, MF1100-1300,
Oliver 1755, 1855, 1955 and MM-1968 and later.
If tractor has an open-center system and pump delivers
more than eight gallons per minute continuous flow,
larger hoses and fittings in the valve will be required.
The valves will handle 25 gallons per minute flow. Consult your tractor manual or dealer if necessary for type
and capacity of your tractor hydraulic system.

29977 (Rev. 1/23/2009)

Position valve on top of bracket as shown and secure
with 3/8 x 2-1/2 bolts. Then position fender bracket on
right hand fender so controls are convenient to the
operator. If it is a narrow-type fender, also use inner
brace (29), installing it on tire side of fender.
Drill four holes in fender and, using back-up bars (28)
provided, bolt bracket to fender. If it is a wide, flat-top
fender, discard inner place and attach main bracket
directly to fender, again drilling four holes and using
back-up bars provided.
Using diagonal brace bar, bending and drilling as
required, to stiffen fender and valve bracket if it is not
rigid enough without it. The narrow extension plate
which extends forward on valve bracket is not used
with single-spool valve and may be knocked off if it is in
the way.
On the inlet (forward) side of valve, install a 1/2 x 3/8"
adapter elbow. Into this, screw the 3/8 x 60" one-wire
braid hydraulic hose. This hose must be attached to the
tractor pressure system wherever it is appropriate. You
may have to consult the tractor manual or your dealer
to find out where to attach this.
On the return (outlet) side of valve, install a 3/4 x 1/2"
reducing bushing followed by a 1/2 x 3/8" 90° adapter
elbow. Position both elbows so hoses lie properly.
Install hose barb (37) into elbow fitting and on this,
push self-clamping, low-pressure return hose. This will
have to return to tractor hydraulic system reservoir at
appropriate spot. Consult your tractor dealer or manual. Install other hose barb to tractor system and cut
hose to desired length. Install on the barbs.
NOTE: Do not slip hose on until you are ready to leave
it as hose cannot be removed from barb without cutting
it.
Install control lever on valve. Screw 3/8 x 1/4" 90°
adapter elbow into top of valve. To it, attach three foot
hose which goes to coupler and cylinder.
