9.4 Gearbox Lubrication
The gearboxes are lled at the factory and should
require no maintenance. If there is evidence of
leakage, the grease level should be checked. If
required, grease should be added until it comes to the
proper level. Recommended lubricant is EP-0 Grease.
Splitter gearbox capacity is 58 ounces.
Outboard gearbox capacity is 49 ounces.
Note: Make sure the rotary cutter is level when
checking the grease in the gearbox.
Note: Overlling the gearbox will cause pressure to
build up and cause the seals to leak.
9.5 Driveline Lubrication
Lubricate all driveline slip joints, U-joint crosses, and
the center driveline CV joint every eight operating
hours.
1. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, disconnect the
center driveline from the tractor PTO shaft, and slide
the halves apart but do not disconnect from each
other.
2. Apply a bead of grease completely around male half
where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over
each other several times to distribute grease.
3. Disconnect the wing drivelines from the splitter
gearbox and repeat Step 2 for each wing driveline.
4. Rotate the front driveline safety shield until the holes
in the shield match up with the grease zerks in the
CV joint and U-joint.
5. Apply grease to all accessible grease zerks.
6. Rotate the driveline shield 180° until the holes on
the opposite side align with the remaining grease
zerks, and apply grease.
7. Repeat for the U-joint at the rear of the center
driveline,and at both ends of the wing drivelines.
8. Grease the zerks on the splitter cross shaft.
9. Re-connect the drivelines, close the front gearbox
shield, and install the retaining pins.
9.6 Blade Servicing
Inspect blades before each use to determine that they
are properly installed and in good condition. If any
blade is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any
other damage, replace both blades on the spindle.
Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.
Manually rock the blade carriers to check for any
looseness. Recheck torque every fty hours.
Retighten any loose parts.
9.6.1 Blade Removal
To remove the blades for sharpening or replacement,
remove the nut and lockwasher from the blade bolt
through the inspection hole in the deck of the mower
near the gearbox.
9.6.2 Blade Installation
When installing blades, be sure to check the blade bolt
pivot diameter for wear. Replace the bolt if worn more
than 1/4 inch at any point. Tighten nut to 600 ft. lbs.
Always use a new lockwasher and nut when replacing
the blade bolt.
Make sure blades are installed with the cutting edge in
the direction of rotation. The left and center spindles
rotate counterclockwise as viewed from above the
deck. The right spindle rotates clockwise as viewed
from above the deck.
