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 />
