CROSSBAR REMOVAL

1.It is necessary to gain access to bottom side of cutter for crossbar removal. See Blocking Method, page 18.

NOTE: You will need to use either the puller screw (Item 6, ) or a small hydraulic jack to remove the crossbar.

2.To make crossbar removal easier, remove blades. See Blade Removal, page 19.

3.Remove cotter pin, castle nut, and washer from bottom of crossbar.

4.Attach a clevis (1) to each end of crossbar, using blade pins, spacers, keyhole plates, and blade pin clips. See Figure 19.

5.Position tube assembly (5) with threaded nut toward crossbar for puller screw removal or down for hydraulic jack removal.

6.For removal with puller screw, attach tube (5) to each clevis with bolts (2) and nuts (3). Place pad

(4)in nut and thread puller screw (6) into nut from bottom. Tighten until pad is solid against gearbox shaft. For best results, strike head of puller screw with a hammer while tightening with a wrench.

7.For removal with a jack, attach tube to each clevis with puller links (7), bolts (2), and nuts (3). Place jack on tube with end of jack pressing against gearbox shaft. Slowly apply force with jack.

NOTE: Hydraulic jack will not operate if tipped more than 90-degrees. Use care to prevent bend- ing crossbar during removal.
