Maintenance Instructions<br />

REPLACING/REPAIRING<br />

NOTE: With oil flow throughout the unitized<br />

gear drive assembly; if one gearbox has internal<br />

damage or excessive wear, the remaining gearboxes<br />

and connector tubes should be completely<br />

disassembled and thoroughly flushed out with<br />

solvent before reassembly.<br />

Gearboxes<br />

5. Drain and properly dispose of oil.<br />

6. Remove the four (4) bolts mounting the gearbox<br />

to the connector tube and slide the gearbox off<br />

the splined drive shaft coupling.<br />

7. Install the new gearbox on the spline coupling<br />

of the drive shaft. Establish correct timing of<br />

the blade drive gearboxes by setting flats on<br />

the output shaft at 90 degrees when connecting<br />

the gearbox(es) to the spline coupling. Make<br />

sure the timing is correct before proceeding<br />

with assembly.<br />

8. Reinstall the four (4) bolts mounting the gearbox<br />

to the connector tube but do not tighten them<br />

at this time; leave connector tube bolts fingertight.<br />

9. Position the gear drive assembly on the deck<br />

and install the 3/8-16 bolts mounting the entire<br />

assembly. Leave the mount bolts finger-tight.<br />

1. Remove the mower deck. Refer to Deck Installation<br />

in Assembly Instructions and reverse the<br />

procedure to remove the deck.<br />

Connector Tubes<br />

10. Torque all the connector tube bolts to 80 in-lb<br />

(9 N⋅m); then tighten the deck mount bolts.<br />

NOTE: This fastener tightening sequence aligns<br />

the gearbox assembly with the deck housing and<br />

eliminates the possibility of mounting the unitized<br />

assembly in a bind.<br />

11. Fill gearbox assembly with oil. Refer to Mower<br />

Deck Gearbox Lubrication in this section for<br />

instructions.<br />

12. Reassemble remaining items onto deck to complete<br />

installation. After installing blades, check<br />

that the blade timing is correct by moving the<br />

blades through one (1) complete revolution.<br />

Make sure blade tips pass clear of each other.<br />
