Tractor Hook-up

Refer to Refer to Figure 1-3:

4.Back the tractor up close to the hitch. Level the mower frame with the tongue jack.

5.Adjust the mower’s hitch to the tractors draw bar height.

6.Attach the mower with a 3/4" hitch pin and secure it with the lock pin. Always use a pin that contains a safety locking device to prevent it from falling out.

7.Retract the tongue jack until the weight of the mower is fully removed from the jack, then remove the jack. Store the jack on the storage tube located on top of the divider gear box.

8.Attach the safety chain on the frame tongue to the tractor. Adjust the chain length to remove all slack except what is necessary to permit turning of the mower. Lock the hook securely on the chain.

9.The driveline shaft from the tractor is a constant velocity type. Always attach the end with the constant velocity joint to the tractor output shaft. Attach the other end to the splined input shaft on the divider gear box on the transport frame.

10.Move the driveline back and forth to insure that it is secured on the shaft of the tractor and power divider input shaft on the mower.

11.Secure the chain on the driveline around mower frame to restrict the outer shield of the driveline from rotating.

NOTE: A chain is supplied with each driveline. This chain must be attached to the shield cone of each driveline and to an anchor on the mower deck or hitch.

12.Should the driveline shaft require shortening:

a.Hold the half shafts next to each other in the shortest working position and mark them.

b.Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.

c.Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the same length as the guard tubes.

d.Proper overlap is a minimum of one-half the length of each tube, with both tubes being of equal length.

e.Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles.

13.Route the cylinder hoses through the hose support loop and connect to tractor remote outlets. Refer to Hydraulic Plumbing, this section on page 13, for proper hookup. Quick disconnect hydraulic fittings for your tractor are supplied with mower.
