16.Check that the gear backlash is between 0.006” and 0.016”. You should not have to adjust the backlash.

17.Press in input oil seal (19), using tube of correct diameter. Be careful not to damage seal lip.

18.Press oil cap (20) on to cover the rear of housing, using a tube of the correct diameter.

19.Check gearbox housing for leaks by plugging all holes except one. Apply 4 psi compressed air and immerse the gearbox in water to verify that there are no leaks.

20.Remove gearbox from water and dry off with compressed air. Add SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until it runs out of side level hole. Tighten all plugs.

Gearbox Installation

NOTE: Gearbox is heavy: do not attempt to move with- out mechanical assistance.

1.Set gearbox on gearbox stand and fasten with bolts and nuts. Torque bolts to 175 lbs-ft.

2.Attach drive sheave to output shaft. Secure using castle nut and hardware previously removed. Torque castle nut to 170 lbs-ft.

3.Attach gearbox stand to mower using four flanged 1/2" cap screws.

Drive Sheave Installation

Refer to Figure 21.

1.When gear stand is installed on mower, the distance from the top of the mower deck to the center line of the lower groove on the drive pulley must be 2-21/32" (±1/32"). This is a critical dimension and must be carefully adjusted for proper belt life.

2.Tighten gear stand hardware.

3.Fill gearbox half full with SAE 90W gear lube.

4.Check level after waiting five minutes to permit lube to work through bearings. Add lube, if necessary, until gearbox is half full.

5.Replace driveline shield. Attach driveline to gearbox.
