9.Once blade deflection is correct, replace used nut with new locknut (#6) and torque to 450 ft-lbs.

10.If replacing dishpan (#4), nut on gearbox output shaft should be torqued to 450 ft-lbs. minimum and cotter pin installed in nut with legs securely bent around nut.

!CAUTION

Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor, and remove key before making any of the following adjustments.

Figure 5-2

Driveline components are protected from shock loads by a two plate slip-clutch. The clutch must be capable of slippage during operation to protect the gearbox, driveline and other drivetrain parts. The slip-clutch driveline is secured to the cutter with a grade 8 bolt.

The clutch should be “run-in” prior to initial operation and after long periods of inactivity to remove any oxidation that may have accumulated on the friction surfaces. Repeat “run-in” instructions at the beginning of each season and when moisture and/or condensation seizes the inner friction plates.

!CAUTION

Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor, and remove key before making any of the following adjustments.

Shearbolt Protected Drivelines

The Standard Shear Bolt Driveline is secured to the cutter with a shearbolt for protection of driveline and gearbox. The shearbolt is designed to shear off when the blade impacts objects that the cutter is not designed to cut through. Replace shearbolt with Land Pride part #802-264C. Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 10.

IMPORTANT: A snap ring is installed so that the driveline does not come loose from the gearbox should the shearbolt shear. (Replace damaged or worn snap ring with Land Pride part #800-079C)

Clutch Run-In

Refer to Refer to Figure 5-3:

1.Using a pencil or other marker, scribe a line across the exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction discs.

2.Carefully loosen each of the 8 spring retainer nuts by exactly 2 revolutions. It will be necessary to hold hex end of retainer bolt in order to count the exact number of revolutions.

3.Start tractor and engage PTO drive for 2-3 seconds to permit slippage of the clutch surfaces. Disengage PTO, then re-engage a second time for 2-3 seconds. Disengage PTO, shut off tractor and remove key.

Wait for all components to stop before dismounting from tractor.

4.Inspect clutch and ensure that the scribed markings made on the clutch plates have changed position. Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the friction disc and plate are still aligned. A clutch that has not slipped must be disassembled to separate the friction disc plates. See “Clutch Assembly and Disassembly” on page 21.
