ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for the assembly of the TS1680 mounted and pull-type cutter. Many of the procedures apply to all units. When an instruction applies to a specific unit, the section heading will indicate which unit. Assembly of options may not apply to all units.

Assembly of the cutter is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. It should be delivered to the owner completely assembled, lubricated, and adjusted for normal cutting conditions.

The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly will be easier if components are aligned and loosely assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for hardware are located in the Bolt Torque Chart, page 77.

Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface, such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker. Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.

Complete check lists on page 48 when you have completed the assembly.

TS1680 PULL-TYPE CUTTER - REAR HALF

(Figure 28)

Place jackstands under cutter to raise it off the ground to provide clearance when assembling cutter. See “BLOCKING METHOD” on page 21 for jackstand placement.

Install Rear Tailwheel

1.Attach tailwheel arms (1) to the tailwheel using eight (four per arm) cap screws (18) and lock nuts (19).

NOTE: Position tailwheel arms on tailwheel to desired location (usually on row crop centers).

2.Install wheel hubs (28) to tailwheel arms using caps screw (20) and lock nut (21). Wheel hubs should be positioned to the outside of the cutter.

3.Attach solid or aircraft tires to wheel hubs using five lug nuts (29). Install the chamfered side of the lug nut toward the inside for steel rim for pneumatic tires and rims (shown).

NOTE: Install the flat side of the nut toward the inside for solid tires and aircraft tires.

Install Attitude Rod

Slide attitude rod (3) under right spindle driveline and through pivot block on the tailwheel. Loosely install sleeve (4), washer (22) and two hex nuts (23).

Install Height Adjustment Device

Ratchet

1.Place one end of ratchet (10) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (16) and cotter pins (17).

2.Attach opposite end of ratchet (10) between lugs (Position A) on tailwheel and secure with pin (30) and two cotter pins (17).

Cylinder

1.Place base end of hydraulic cylinder (6) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (16) and cotter pins (17).

2.Place hydraulic cylinder (6) between lugs (Position A) on tailwheel.

3.Extend cylinder rod, place transport lock bracket

(5) over cylinder rod end and between lugs on tailwheel.

4.Align holes of cylinder rod, transport lock bracket and lugs on tailwheel. Secure assembly using pin (30) and cotter pins (17).

Install Hydraulic Hose

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

NOTICE

■If using a cylinder other than the one supplied by Woods, make sure a breather fitting is installed in the cylinder rod end port. Use a restricter fitting in the base end port to dampen the cutter lowering action.

1.Install reducer bushing (7) and restricter elbow (8) in port at base end of cylinder (6). Position elbow to point toward front of cutter.

NOTE: Make sure there is a breather fitting installed in the rod end port.

2.Connect hose (9) to elbow (8).

3.Install optional stroke control kit (11) to cylinder rod. Stroke control kit is used to set cut height.
