MOWER SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES

Mower spindles are equipped with two tapered roller bearings. The proper adjustment is held by a spring pin. It is not intended that these bearings be adjusted during their useful life. When difficulty is experienced with the mower spindle assembly, time and trouble will be saved by buying a completely new spindle assem- bly.

However, if bearings must be adjusted, the spring pin can be driven out, the sleeve pulled loose, and a washer shim placed under the sleeve to tighten the bearings.

SERVICING CUTTING BLADES

Blades are made of heat-treated alloy steel and are designed to produce the most satisfactory results. For a good mowing job, always keep blades sharp.

NOTE: On left hand models (L - White Frame) the blade bolts have left-hand threads.

MODEL 59 MOWER

This mower does not have friction blade clutch. The bolt which is used to fasten the blade to the mower spindle shaft has a nylon insert to prevent it from black- ing out too easily. Do not substitute an ordinary bolt. When replacing the blade, tighten the bolt tight enough so that the blade will not slip.

CLEANING

After Each Use

Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable.

Periodically or Before Extended Storage

Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water spray.

1.Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn safety decals or near edges of decals as water spray can peel decal off surface.

2.Be careful when spraying near chipped or scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.

3.If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice of the pressure washer manufacturer.

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of matching color (purchase from your Woods dealer).
