13.Remove bottom bearing (13) by using a punch and hammer from the top, outside the housing.

14.Support housing upside down (top cover surface) and remove top bearing (10) by using a punch and hammer from the bottom side of the housing.

15.Inspect gears for broken teeth and wear. Some wear is normal and will show on loaded side. Forged gear surfaces are rough when new. Check that wear pattern is smooth.

16.Inspect vertical and horizontal shafts for grooves, nicks, or bumps in the areas where the seals seat. Resurface any damage with emery cloth.

17.Inspect housing and caps for cracks or other damage.

Assemble Gearbox

1.Clean housing, paying specific attention to areas where gaskets will be installed.

2.Wash housing and all components thoroughly. Select a clean area for gearbox assembly. Replace all seals, bearings, and gaskets. All parts must be clean and lightly oiled before reassembling.

3.Insert both output bearings (10 & 13) in the housing, using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press.

4.Slide output shaft (14) through both bearings (10 &

13)until it rests against top bearing (10).

5.Slide shim (9) over output shaft (14).

6.Press gear (1a or 17) onto output shaft (14) and secure with washer (19), castle nut (8), and cotter pin (15).

7.Apply grease to lower seal lips (12) and press seal (12) over output shaft (14), using a tube of the correct diameter. Be sure not to damage seal lip.

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.
