3-Point Hitch Adjustments

Refer to Figure 3-1:

The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been designed for front to back flotation when mowing on uneven terrain. On the two wheel mower with fixed lower hitch pins and the four wheel mower with floating lower hitches in a mid position, adjust the tractor’s top link to place the upper hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch pins as shown below.

6.Rotate blades parallel to direction of travel.

7.Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the ground at front and rear of the blade. This measurement should be equal or have the blade at the front of the mower not more than 1/2" lower than the blade at the rear of the mower.

Cutting Height Adjustment

!CAUTION

Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and disengage PTO before making any height adjustment!

Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and support under it with secure blocking so not to let the mower drift down during maintenance.

Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick-lock pin from top of gauge wheel spindle. Position full length spacers and half spacer as required. All spacers on top of spindle tube allows for approximately 1" cutting height. Adjustments range from 1" to a maximum of 4" in 1/2" increments. Refer to "Leveling the Mower" beginning on this page.

NOTE: If equipped with only rear gauge wheels, the mower must be leveled front to rear each time this adjustment is made.

4.Set park brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from ignition.
