3-Point Hitch Mounted Assembly Instructions

1. Mount the hitch assembly (#7) to the deck using the category 1 lift arm pins (#32) supplied. The

bushings (#34), and the 1" I.D. washer (#73) should allow the hitch to swivel freely.

2. The ends of the two pivot arms (#5 & #6) with the offset holes bolt to the hitch using a 5/8" x 4"

bolt and lock nut. The offset should be turned down. The lift arm (#4) bolts between the ends of

the pivot arms and the brackets at the top of the center mount (#2) using 5/8" x 2" hex bolts and

lock nuts. Do not over tighten the lock nuts. The entire hitch assembly should swivel freely if

properly assembled. Assemble chain PTO holder (#104) to 3-point hitch (#7) using one 3/8" x 1

1/2" hex bolt (#103), lock washer and hex nut.

3. Bolt the tail wheel arm (#8) to the center mount (#2) using a 5/8" x 4" bolt and lock nut. The tube

welded to the outside end of the tail wheel arm is offset 2-1/4" past the edge of the tube. The

2-1/4" offset is turned down for 5' and 6' cutters and up for 7' cutters. Assemble the tail wheel

(#11) in the wheel yoke (#10) using axle pin (#12) and a 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin. Mount the yoke

in the sleeve at the end of the tail wheel arm. Use an 18 gauge washer on each side of the

sleeve and lock in place with a 1/4" x 1-3/4" cotter pin. The adjustment arms (#9) hold the tail

wheel arm in place and also set the cutting height of the cutter. Bolt arms to the deck using hex

bolts (#15) and lock nuts and to the tail wheel arm using 5/8" x 4" hex bolt and lock nut.

4. Connect the PTO shaft to the gearbox. A snap ring holds on the PTO shafts with a shear pin.

The clutch must be engaged on PTO shafts with a slip clutch as per operating instructions so

the clutch will slip if you hit a hard object. After engaging clutch, bolt the PTO guard (#3) to the

center mount using 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

5. Re-check all the fasteners. There should be free movement of all pieces held together by a bolt

and lock nut.

Trailing Model Assembly Instructions

1. Mount the swivel tube assembly (#47) to the cutter deck by bolting to the outside edge of the

deck reinforcement using 1/2" x 1-3/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

2. The wheel yoke arms (#48) may be assembled to cutter in two ways:

- Wheels trailing behind mower. Assemble as shown in drawing. Bolt the yoke arms (#48)

to the tube assembly using 1/2" x 2" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts with the wheels

turned to the inside of the mower. With the wheels in this position, the control rod clevis

(#53) attaches to the top bracket on the tube assembly as shown in drawing. Use a 1" I.D.

ﬂat washer and a 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pin to mount the wheels.

- Wheels forward at side of cutter. Bolt the yoke arms to the tube assembly so the wheels

are on the outside of the cutter. With the wheels in this position, the control rod clevis (#53)

attaches to the bottom bracket on the tube assembly.

3. Bolt the tongue assembly (#63) to the cutter deck using 7/8" x 2-1/2" bolts, lock washers and

hex nuts. The 1-1/4" diameter x 5/8" long bushings (#58) held in place by a 1" I.D. ﬂat washer

(#73) should allow the tongue to swivel.
