Woods Equipment TS1680Q manual Side Drive Service, Crossbar Removal

immerse the gearbox in water to verify that there are no leaks.

23.Remove gearbox from water and dry off with compressed air. Add SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until level is between rings of dipstick (26) with dipstick seated. Tighten all plugs.

Reinstall Gearbox

NOTE: Gearbox is heavy: do not attempt to move it without mechanical assistance.

1.Install flex coupler driveline between side gearboxes and center gearbox.

2.Set gearbox on cutter and fasten with bolts and nuts. Torque bolts to 300 lbs-ft.

SIDE DRIVE SERVICE

Figure 16. Side Drive Assembly

The drives between the center and side gearboxes contain rubber shock-absorbing discs. To service or remove the side drives or remove a gearbox, the flexible coupling must be disassembled. See page 25 for rubber disk replacement.

Remove end yokes by removing nuts (9) and sliding bolt (8) inward to clear yoke. Do not remove bolt unless rubber disks (5) are to be serviced. Remove complete center section by lifting straight up on center shaft (2). The outer yoke can be slid off gearbox shaft. The inner yoke is held by two set screws (11).

Reassemble shaft as shown in Figure 16. End yokes (3

&4) do not bolt directly to center shaft (2). Use the special formed washer (6) and bushings (7) between the rubber disks (5) and under bolt head or nut near rubber disc. Tighten nuts (9) and bolts (8) to 85 lbs-ft. Tighten set screw (11).

NOTE: Crossbar must be re-timed anytime a crossbar or a side drive is disconnected. (See page 36.)

CROSSBAR

Crossbar Removal

3.Remove cotter pin and castle nut from bottom of crossbar.

4.Refer to Figure 18. Attach a clevis (1) to each end of crossbar, using blade pins and nuts.

5.Position tube assembly (5) with threaded nut toward crossbar for puller screw removal or down for hydraulic jack removal.

6.For removal with puller screw, attach tube (5) to each clevis with bolts (2) and nuts (3). Place pad

(4)in nut and thread puller screw (6) into nut from bottom. Tighten until pad is solid against gearbox shaft. For best results, strike head of puller screw with a hammer while tightening with a wrench.

7.For removal with a jack, attach tube to each clevis with puller links (7), bolts (2), and nuts (3). Place jack on tube with end of jack pressing against gearbox shaft. Slowly apply force with jack.

NOTE: Hydraulic jack will not operate if tipped more than 90-degrees. Use care to prevent bend- ing crossbar during removal.
