Inspection (Fig. 56)

1.Remove all nicks and burrs from all parts with an emery cloth

CAUTION

Use eye protection such as goggles when using compressed air

2.Clean all parts with solvent. Dry all parts with com- pressed air.

3.Inspect drive gear (9) shaft for a broken or chipped keyway.

4.Inspect drive gear (9) and idler gear (8) shafts at the bushing points and seal area for rough surfaces and ex- cessive wear.

5.Replace drive gear (9) or idler gear (8) if the shaft in the bushing area diameter measures less than 0.748 in. (19.0 mm). A single gear may be replaced separately.

6.The drive gear (9) and idler gear (8) face should be free of excessive scoring and wear.

7.Replace drive gear (9) or idler gear (8) if gear width is less than 1.140 in. (29.96 mm).

8.Make sure that retaining rings are in the grooves on both sides of the gear for both the drive gear (9) and idler gear (8).

9.Break sharp edges of gear teeth with emery cloth.

10.Replace backplate (7) and frontplate (14) if bushing inside diameters exceed 0.755 in. (19.2 mm). The bush- ings are not available as replacement items.

11.The face of the backplate (7) and frontplate (14) should be free of excessive scoring. Replace if scoring a depth of 0.0015 in. (0.038 mm).

12.Replace body (12) if the inside diameter of the gear pockets exceeds 1.713 in. (43.5 mm).

13.Make sure both plugs (1) are secure if they or the backplate is not being replaced.

Reassembly (Fig. 56)

1.If replacing the relief valve assembly (19), install ball (5), spring (4), shim (3), O±ring (2), and plug (1) into the backplate (7). Hand tighten plug (1) and then torque from 10 to 12 ft±lb (1.38 to 1.66 kg±m).

2.Coat O±ring (11) lightly with petroleum jelly and install in groove on the front plate (14).

3.Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to both gear pockets of the body (12). Install alignment pin (13) into body (12).

4.Align matchmarks and slip body (12) onto front plate (14) until alignment pin (13) is engaged.

5.Dip idler gear (8) and drive gear (9) into clean hy- draulic oil and slip into front plate (14) bushings.

6.Coat O±ring (11) lightly with petroleum jelly and install in groove on the back plate (7).

7.Install alignment pin (13) into back plate (7).

8.Align matchmarks and slip back plate (7) over gear shafts onto body (12) until alignment pin (13) is en- gaged.

9.Hand tighten cap screws (15) and torque in a criss- cross pattern from 25 to 28 ft±lb (3.46 to 3.87 kg±m).

10.Place washer (18) over the drive shaft into the front plate (14) housing. Apply a liberal coat of hydraulic oil to the oil seal (17). Install oil seal (17) over the drive shaft being careful not tho cut the rubber seal lips.

11.Place 1±1/16 inch O.D. sleeve over the drive shaft and press in the oil seal (17) until the retaining ring groove appears.

12.Press retaining ring (16) into the housing using the sleeve until it seats in the groove.

This capability ensures extended operation periods, allowing grounds crews to maintain pristine conditions across large areas without frequent refuelling stops.

Both models are equipped with Toro’s exclusive DPA (Dual Precision Adjust) cutting system, providing precise cutting heights for optimal turf health. This system allows for adjustments from 1/8 inch to 1 inch, enabling operators to achieve the correct level for various grass types and turf conditions. This level of precision ensures a clean cut and promotes the overall health of the grass.

Another notable characteristic is the ergonomic design, which includes a comfortable operator station to reduce fatigue during extended use. The controls are intuitively located, enabling easy access and operation, and the mower's compact design allows for nimble maneuverability around obstacles, ensuring that every inch of turf can be accurately maintained.

In terms of technology, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D feature advanced traction control systems that provide excellent grip and stability on slopes and uneven terrain. The lightweight alloy construction of the frame contributes to this stability, giving operators confidence whether they are working on flat surfaces or more challenging landscapes.

Furthermore, these mowers are designed with sustainability in mind. The diesel engines not only offer efficiency but also are compliant with strict emissions standards, making them an environmentally responsible choice for turf maintenance.

The Toro 2300-D and 2600-D also feature a robust maintenance management system that alerts operators of necessary maintenance tasks, promoting longer lifespans for components and enhancing overall performance.

In summary, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D deliver cutting-edge technologies and features, including powerful engines, versatile cutting systems, ergonomic design, advanced traction control, and sustainability focus. These models represent the pinnacle of reel mower engineering, making them ideal choices for professionals dedicated to maintaining the finest playing surfaces.
