LUBRICATION

Grease blade spindle shaft every 24 hours of operation until some grease is forced out around top of shaft. This is necessary to ensure that enough grease has been forced in to reach top bearing of spindle. V-belt idlers have sealed ball bearings and do not need lubri- cation.

V-BELT

Belt should be adjusted so it is tight enough to hold power of tractor when mowing. When belt replacement is necessary, use only the belt recommended by your Woods dealer. These belts are of special construction for shock loading and severe use. Idler pulleys must be kept in proper alignment so that V-belt will run smoothly.

MAIN SPINDLE ASSEMBLY

The spindle assembly is equipped with two tapered roller bearings. Proper adjustment is maintained by a sleeve welded on the shaft. These bearings are not intended to be adjusted during their useful life.

BLADE SERVICING

Removal

Loosen locking bolt, rotate blade retainer and drive blade pin up out of crossbar and blade. Slide blade out of crossbar. Always sharpen or replace blades in pairs to maintain proper balance. Use genuine Woods blades for replacement. They are made of special steel alloy and are subjected to rigid heat-treat and inspec- tion requirements. Substitute blades may not meet these rigid specifications and could be dangerous.

Installation

LA1

Figure 1. Clockwise Rotation Crossbar

NOTE: On 42-6 mowers, all crossbars rotate in a clock- wise rotation except models L42AC/B & C-6 C L42A-6. Ensure you order correct replacement blades and install them correctly for your machine. Insert blade into crossbar; ensure cutting edge points in direction of crossbar rotation. Install blade pin into crossbar through blade; rotate blade retainer over blade and tighten locking bolt.

LUBRICATION OF OVERRUNNING CLUTCH

Oil only occasionally and just enough to keep a film of oil on internal parts. Excess oil will prevent ratchet teeth from fully engaging, resulting in premature failure.
