FLEXIBLE COUPLER

RUBBER DISK REPLACEMENT

The flexible coupler side drive is designed to flex when striking heavy objects or during start-up to protect gear- boxes. The rubber disks will wear out over time and require replacement much like slip clutch disks. To maximize rubber disk life, lower tractor engine speed to an idle when engaging the PTO and avoid striking the ground with cutter blades.

Periodically inspect the disks for signs of cracking. A disk may run for some time after a crack starts but this is the first sign that disk replacement is required in the future.

To replace the disks, remove hardware items 6, 7, 8, and 9. Remove sleeves (7) from old disk and install in new disk. Reassemble and torque bolts to 85 lbs-ft. See Figure 14. Take special care not to rotate gearbox shaft and throw blades out of time. If rubber disks have failed and blades are hitting, you will need to re-time the blades per instructions on page 36.

SERVICING TIRES SAFELY

Used Aircraft Tires (Figure 15)

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

WARNING

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten- sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side

—not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam- aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

TS1680, TS1680Q specifications

Woods Equipment has long been a prominent name in the agricultural and landscaping sectors, and its TS1680Q and TS1680 models further cement this reputation. Designed for versatility and reliability, both models shine in various applications, ranging from mowing to maintaining landscapes.

One of the standout features of the Woods TS1680Q and TS1680 is their robust build quality. Crafted with heavy-duty materials, these models are engineered to withstand the rigors of tough terrain and demanding workloads. The TS1680Q, being the quieter variant, employs advanced sound-dampening technologies, ensuring that operators can work without the disruptive noise typical of many competitors.

With a cutting width of 68 inches, both models are designed for efficiency. The wide cutting deck not only allows operators to cover more ground quickly but also ensures a clean and even cut on various grass types. The TS1680Q further enhances mowing precision with its unique floating deck design. This feature enables the cutting deck to follow ground contours, reducing scalping on uneven surfaces.

Another notable characteristic is the versatility of attachment options. Both models come equipped with a category 1 three-point hitch which allows for easy attachment of numerous implements. This adaptability means operators can use the TS1680Q and TS1680 for other tasks, such as tilling or hauling, making it a multi-functional powerhouse for any farm or landscape project.

The hydraulic system on these models is engineered for high performance. With user-friendly controls and responsive feedback, operators can adjust settings with ease. Combined with a powerful engine, the TS1680Q and TS1680 offer reliable performance and energy efficiency, contributing to reduced fuel expenditure in the long run.

Safety features are also a priority, with shields and guards designed to protect operators during use. The controls are ergonomically situated to minimize potential hazards. Additionally, the low center of gravity design ensures stable operation, reducing the risk of tipping especially while working on inclines.

In conclusion, the Woods Equipment TS1680Q and TS1680 models are designed with the modern user in mind. Their blend of durability, innovative technology, and operational versatility makes them a top choice for both agricultural use and landscaping projects. Whether you're a farmer looking for reliable mowing solutions or a landscaper in need of a versatile implement, these models deliver exceptional performance and value.
