MAINTENANCE

Paint

If there are areas where the paint has peeled or flaked, these should be sanded down to bare metal. New primer and paint should be applied to this area. Decomposing grass can be a very caustic substance. It will eat away the paint and metal and allow rust to set in. Repainting areas will assure longer deck life. See Image Mnt-R- 0237.

BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

Skid Shoes

The skid shoes are made of a hardened steel to reduce wear and increase their service life. Premature wear can be caused by the mower wings being set too low, allowing the wing shoes to drag on the ground continuously. See Image

Mnt-R-0238.

Tongue Bolt

Remove the bolt. Examine for signs of abnormal wear and cracks. If any of these parts are worn, bent, or deformed, replace them. These parts hold the tractor and mower together and must be maintained in good working condition. See Image Mnt-R-0241.
