TS1680 MOUNTED CUTTER (FIGURE 30)

Place jackstands under cutter to raise it off the ground to provide clearance when assembling cutter. See “BLOCKING METHOD” on page 21 for jackstand placement.

Install A-Frame

1.Attach A-frame weldment (3) to the lower (square) hole of the cutter mast plates. Secure using carriage bolts (26), bushing sleeves (17), washers

(25)and lock nuts (24).

2.Remove two lock nuts (22) from rear of cutter. Slide washer (34), rear A-frame bar (2) and second washer (34) over bolt and re-attach with lock nuts

(22).

3.Attach the two rear A-frame bars (2) together at the top rear hole using cap screw (33), spacer sleeve

(9)and lock nut (24).

4.Place both break links (7) together and position between front holes of rear A-frame bars. Secure rear A-frame bars and break links together using cap screw (33), spacer sleeve (9) and lock nut

(24).

NOTE: Break links must rest on top of rear spacer sleeve (9).

5.Place spacer sleeve (8) through front holes of break links. Align break links with rear holes of A- frame weldment (3) and secure together using cap screw (30), sleeve (6) and lock nut (31).

Install Tailwheel Arms

Attach tailwheel arms (1) to tailwheel using eight (four per arm) cap screws (20) and lock nuts (21).

NOTE: Position tailwheel arms on tailwheel to desired location (usually on row crop centers).

Install Height Adjustment Device

Ratchet

1.Place one end of ratchet (16) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (18) and cotter pins (32).

2.Attach opposite end of ratchet (16) between lugs (Position B) on tailwheel and secure with pin (42) and two cotter pins (32).

Cylinder

1.Place base end of hydraulic cylinder (12) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (18) and cotter pins (32).

2.Place hydraulic cylinder (12) between lugs (Position B) on tailwheel.

3.Extend cylinder rod, place transport lock bracket

(11)over cylinder rod end and between lugs on tailwheel.

4.Align holes of cylinder rod, transport lock bracket and lugs on tailwheel. Secure assembly using pin

(42)and cotter pins (32).

Install Hydraulic Hoses

On mounted units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a double-acting cylin- der with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

NOTICE

■If using a cylinder other than the one supplied by Woods, make sure a breather fitting is installed in the cylinder rod end port. Use a restricter fitting in the base end port to dampen the cutter lowering action.

NOTE: Mounted units must use a double-acting cylinder to prevent damage to tailwheels during transport.

1.Connect hoses (15) to elbows (14).

2.Install reducer bushing (13) and restricter swivel elbow (14) in port at each end of cylinder (12). Position elbows to point toward front of cutter.

3.Install optional stroke control kit (19) to cylinder rod. Stroke control kit is used to set cut height.

Install Driveline

1.Coat input shaft of gearbox with a light coating of grease.

2.Attach slip clutch on driveline (5) to input shaft of gearbox. Tighten cap screws (28) and lock nuts (29).
