GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING
■

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 purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It furnishes 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

4 Introduction

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.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were current 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.

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.

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.

„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
„ Make sure driveline guard tether chains are
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in
the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline.
Replace if damaged or broken. Check that driveline
guards rotate freely on driveline before putting
equipment into service.
„ Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drivelines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.
„ 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 equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)

„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.

„ Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

„ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

„ A minimum 25% 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. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not
estimate.

„ 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.
„ 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 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.
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
PRD Mower (9/13/2005)

OPERATION
„ 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).

Safety 5

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
„ Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.
„ Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
„ Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
„ Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.

„ Make certain all movement of equipment components has stopped before approaching for service.
„ Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
„ Frequently check blades. They should be sharp,
free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
„ Do not handle blades with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.

For PRD6000 & PRD7200 only
The front casters can be set in two positions. Figure 8
shows the two possible configurations for the
PRD6000 and PRD7200 front caster arms.
●

The inner position allows the outside edge of the
mower to be used for trimming under shrubs or
fences.

●

The outer position provides the most clearance for
rear tractor tire interference.

Figure 5. Height Adjustment with Caster Arm Spacers

TRACTOR TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT
When the cutting height is set, adjust tractor top link
until mower top link attachment point (A) is aligned vertically with mower hitch pin (B), Figure 6.
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster
wheel and ground (dimension C), Figure 7. This will
allow the mower to follow ground contour.

12 Operation

To change configurations, remove the cap screws and
nuts and move the arms from one side of the wheel rail
to the other. Secure with same hardware.
The rear caster arms should be mounted as shown.
NOTE: The PRD8400 front caster arms are fixed and
cannot be changed.

FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE
CHECK

NOTICE
■

Do not operate tractor and mower until this
interference check has been performed. If you
change tractors, you must perform the check for
that mounting.

2. Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check
that there is clearance between caster wheels and
tractor tires.
3. If there is interference on models PRD6000 and
PRD7200, mount front casters in the outer
position. If interference continues, adjust mower
hitch plate (E) as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: On model PRD8400, caster wheel width is not
adjustable; see tractor operator's manual and adjust
tractor wheels to narrower spacing.

FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)
The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce
scalping in most cases. However, you may encounter
areas where the caster wheels and/or side skids drop
into depressions and allow center of the mower to contact ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be
installed to minimize scalping. See page 31.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Figure 9. Front Caster Wheel Interference Check

CAUTION

Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs
above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster
wheels in their highest position and provide the lowest
cutting height for the mower.

„ Stop power unit and implement immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any
damage before resuming operation.

1. Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at
dimension C or maximum height of tractor lift,
whichever is less.

Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor PTO.
Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and
mower quickly in an emergency.

(Rev. 12/23/2005)
MAN0475 (9/21/2005)

Operation 13

If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over
two seconds follow these steps:
1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area
and allow mower to clear accumulated material.
2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing
pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with
a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.

Uneven Terrain

WARNING
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes.

Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the
height, and type and density of material to be cut.

„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall
dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin
medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground
speed.

„ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.

Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm 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 your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540
rpm. The lower ground speed will permit grass to partially rebound.

Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp
drops to prevent hanging up tractor and mower.
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough
terrain.

MOWER REMOVAL & STORAGE
1. Disengage tractor PTO and raise mower with the
3-point hitch.

In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut
and leave less 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 seasons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable cutting height in your area.

2. Disconnect mower driveshaft from tractor PTO.

Operating Tips

5. Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower
mower onto blocks, disconnect mower from tractor
3-point hitch, and carefully drive tractor away from
mower.

WARNING

3. Collapse driveshaft as far as possible and store it
in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.
4. Before extended storage, see page 19 for cleaning
instructions.

„ 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. Set mower
at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at
desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
require less power.
Analyze area to be cut to determine the best procedure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain
type: hilly, level, or rough.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward
whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the right.
This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.

NOTES

MAN0475 (9/21/2005)

Operation 15

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual.

WARNING

„ Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.
„ Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,
raise mower, securely block up all corners with
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or
mechanical component failures.
„ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
„ Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

CAUTION

Figure 11. Blocking Method

LUBRICATION INFORMATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 12 shows the lubrication points. The accompanying chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating hours, based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Some reference numbers have more
than one location; be sure you lubricate all locations.

„ 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.

Use a lithium grease of #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.

BLOCKING METHOD

Use SAE 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to plug on
side of gearbox.

Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly
attached to the tractor and blocked securely. When
properly attached, the unit will be anchored to minimize
front to rear movement.

Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both
seals and the gasket 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.

Raise mower completely, set tractor brakes, turn
engine off, remove key, block tractor wheels front and
rear, and disconnect mower driveline from tractor.

Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube
to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt.

The only approved blocking device for this mower is a
jackstand with a load rating of 1000 pounds or more.
One jackstand under each corner of the mower (four
total) must be installed before working underneath.
When blocking, you must consider overall stability of
the unit. Just blocking under the unit will not ensure
your safety. The working surface must be level and
solid to support the loaded weight of the jackstands.
Test jackstands stability before working under any portion of the mower.

16 Owner Service

Driveshaft Lubrication
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.
1. Lower mower to ground.
2. Apply grease at three locations shown in Figure 12.
3. Raise and lower mower several times to distribute
grease.

Figure 13. Belt Routing

BELT SERVICE
Belt Replacement
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before installing a new belt, check the following:
1. Check pulley shafts and bearings for wear.
2. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness.
3. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble.
If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a nonflammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial
detergent and water.

5. Grasp belt between spindle pulley E, spring loaded
idler F and spindle pulley D. Pull spring loaded idler
with belt to obtain enough belt length to route it
over pulley E. Make sure spring-loaded idler pivots
freely with belt installed.

NOTICE
■ Use care when installing or removing belt from

spring-loaded idler at step 5. Springs store energy
when extended and, if released suddenly, can
cause personal injury.
6. Adjust belt guide G to provide 1/16" to 1/8"
clearance from belt. Tighten bolt to 85 lbs-ft.

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.

BLADE SERVICE

Belt Installation

„ Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.

1. Disconnect idler spring from deck lug I.
2. Slide belt under drive pulley A and over idler arm.
Position belt around drive pulley A.
3. Loosen bolt holding belt guide G and swing it away
from pulley B. Route belt around pulley B, idler C
and pulley D as shown.
4. Make sure belt is on drive pulley A, route around
idler F, and connect idler spring to lug I on deck.

MAN0475 (9/21/2005)

„ 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).
Check that chain shielding is in good condition and
replace any damaged chain links.

CLEANING
After Each Use
● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
● Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
● Replace any safety decals that are missing or not

GEARBOX REPAIR
Read this entire section before starting any repair.
Many steps are dependent on each other.
Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings,
seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts, and a
housing is not cost effective. It is more economical to
purchase a complete gearbox if repair to anything other
than replacement of bearings, seals or gaskets is
required.
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the side level plug.
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be corrected immediately.
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and side
to side or end play in gear shafts.

24 Dealer Service

Seal Replacement
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets
and shaft seals.
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

Seal Installation
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing

MAN0475 (9/21/2005)

with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the
seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD
that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using the tractor 3-point, or suitable lifting device, carefully lower deck onto 4" - 6" high blocks
at each corner.
2. Make sure deck is stable before proceeding.
3. Wear safety glasses or goggles to prevent eye injury while drilling holes.
4. Clamp mulching kit in place. Make sure baffles are completely closed-off by the kit.
5. Inspect fit-up to confirm that there will be no contact between blades and kit at any time. Failure
to do so will result in product damage and possible injury.
6. Mark the holes to be drilled.
7. Once marked, remove the kit and carefully drill the holes out using a 9/16" drill bit.
8. After holes are drilled, bolt the kit into place torqueing bolts to 85 lbs-ft.
