GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It fur-
nishes information and instructions that will help you
achieve years of dependable performance. These
instructions have been compiled from extensive field
experience and engineering data. Some information
may be general in nature due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience
and these instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situation.
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without notification.
WARNING
„ Some illustrations in this manual show the
mower with safety shields removed to provide a
better view. The mower should never be operated
with any safety shielding removed.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left direction. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel. Blade rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed
from the top of the mower.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing, but due to possible inline
production changes, your machine may vary slightly in

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
„ Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-
ation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
„ Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
„ Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer.) Failure to follow instructions or safety
rules can result in serious injury or death.
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
„ When attaching a pull-type unit to the tractor
drawbar, always use a high-strength drawbar pin.
The drawbar pin must have a device that will lock it
into position. Secure safety chain to attachment
and tractor.
„ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
„ Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instruc-
tions.
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
„ Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
„ Make sure driveline shield tether chains are
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in
this manual. Replace if damaged or broken. Check
that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline
before putting equipment into service.
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
„ Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-
lines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.
„ Inspect chain, rubber, belt, or curtain shielding
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to
before each use. Replace if damaged.
operate equipment.
„ Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
(Safety Rules continued on next page)
PREPARATION
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
„ Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,

ATTACHING MOWER TO TRACTOR
Hitch Point Distance and PTO Clearance
(Figure 1)
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this mower. The operator must be properly qualified
and trained. Operators should be familiar with the
mower, tractor and all safety practices before starting
operation. Read the Safety Rules and Safety Decals on
page 3 through page 8.
This mower is designed for light brush shredding and
grass mowing. It is especially useful in cane, berry,
grape and vegetable crops for mowing and shredding
prunings.
18 - 21 in.
(457-533 mm)
Recommended mowing speed for most conditions is
from two to five mph.
Figure 1. PTO to Mounting Point Distance
DANGER
The standard drive is intended for use with tractors that
have from 18 to 21" (457 to 533 mm) between the end
of the tractor PTO shaft and the mounting pin holes on
lower lift arms when they are horizontal (refer to Figure
1).
„ Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding,
designed to reduce the possibility of thrown
objects, must be installed when operating in popu-
lated areas or other areas where thrown objects
could injure people or damage property. If this
machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or
steel band shielding, operation must be stopped
when anyone comes within 300 feet (91.4 m).
When the PTO/mounting pin distance is less than 18"
(457 mm), the slip tubes of the PTO shaft can bottom
out. When it exceeds 21" (533 mm), there may not be
sufficient engagement when operating on uneven ter-
rain.
When the PTO/mounting pin distance is under 18" (457
mm) or over 21" (533 mm), shorter or longer drives are
available. Contact your Frontier dealer for assistance.
WARNING
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Standard Category 1 mounting pins are used when
attaching the mower to the tractor. Check to be sure
the mounting pins are properly torqued to 300 lbs-ft
(407 Nm).
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.
„ Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-
ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-
tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
Attach mower hitch pins to lower tractor lift arms and
secure. Attach tractor top link to mower top clevis. Con-
nect driveline to tractor PTO shaft. Top link adjustment
will be required (refer to instructions on page 11).
„ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
The standard 1-3/8" 6B spline driveline with a QD yoke
is used to connect mower to tractor.

prevents mower dropping due to hydraulic leak
down, hydraulic system failures, or mechanical
component failures.
After mower is attached to tractor, carefully raise
mower and check for driveline clearance between drive
shielding and front of mower frame; a minimum of 1/2"
(13 mm) clearance is required. Adjustment to tractor
upper lift stop may be required to prevent driveline from
coming in contact with mower frame.

Figure 2. Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height will be the distance between the
blade and the ground. The blades are approximately 5
(127 mm) below the top of the mower frame. To check
cutting height, place a straight edge along top edge of
mower frame as shown in Figure 2.
Cutting Height Adjustment for Mounted
Mowers (Figure 2)
IMPORTANT
„ Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the
ground with blades produces one of the most dam-
aging shock loads a mower can encounter. Allow-
ing blades to contact ground repeatedly, will cause
damage to mower and drive.
Measure from bottom of straightedge to the ground at
locations “A” and “B”. Subtract 5" (127 mm) from mea-
surement “B” to determine cutting height.
Remember, measurement at location “A” should be at
least 1/4" (6 mm) greater than location “B”, and not
more than 1/2" (13 mm) greater than location “B”.
WARNING

STARTING AND STOPPING MOWER
Figure 5. Tractor Stability
Power for operating the mower is supplied by tractor
PTO. Do not exceed tractor manufacturer's rated PTO
speed of 540 rpm maximum. Know how to stop tractor
and mower quickly in case of an emergency.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER RESPONSIBILITY)
___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal
instructions on page 3 through page 8.
Should mower become plugged, causing belt to slip,
immediately maneuver equipment into a previously cut
area and allow mower to clear accumulated material.
Continue running at least two minutes, allowing pulleys
to cool. Stopping the mower with belt in contact with a
very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.
___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in
good condition. Replace if damaged.
___ Check that all shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
___ Check that all hardware and cotter pins are prop-
erly installed and secured.
CAUTION

Operation 11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
„ Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
Optional Blades
The mower is equipped with free-swinging suction type
blades as standard equipment when shipped from the
factory. If you are operating in a sandy area or where
high abrasive wear occurs and causes damage to the
fin of the standard suction type blade, an optional low
suction type blade is available.
OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain and
the height, type and density of material to be cut. Nor-
mally, ground speed will range from two to five mph.
Tall dense material should be cut at a low speed, while
thin medium-height material can be cut at a higher
ground speed.
Optional Front Roller
The tailwheels and side skids effectively reduce scalp-
ing in most cases. However, you may encounter areas
where the tailwheels and/or side skids drop into
depressions and allow center of mower to contact
ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be
installed to minimize scalping.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm; this is neces-
sary to maintain proper blade speed and produce a
clean cut.
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some
grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same
height as the surrounding area. When this occurs,
reduce tractor ground speed but maintain 540 rpm PTO
speed. The lower ground speed will permit grass to at
least partially rebound.
Uneven Terrain
WARNING
„ Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Under some conditions, grass will not rebound enough
to be cut evenly. In general, lower cutting heights give a
more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.
However, it is better to cut grass frequently rather than
too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot
weather and invites weed growth during growing sea-
sons. Follow local recommendations for the suitable
cutting height in your area.
„ Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
„ Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
„ Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Tips
REMOVING MOWER FROM TRACTOR
Place tractor and mower on a solid level surface. Raise
mower and block securely.
WARNING
Disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key.
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
STORAGE
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Cut mate-
rial higher the first pass. Then cut at desired height, at
90° to first pass.
Clean equipment before storage. See instructions on
page 16.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
require less power.
WARNING
Analyze area to be cut to determine best procedure.
Consider height and type of material and terrain type:
hilly, level or rough.
„ Block equipment securely for storage.
„ Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward
whenever possible.

OWNER SERVICE
jackstands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports
because these components can rotate.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
Do not work underneath unless it is properly attached
to tractor (see Operation section), the brakes set, key
removed, and the mower blocked securely. The
mounted unit will be anchored to minimize side to side
and front to rear movement. The pull-type unit will be
anchored front to rear.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway mecha-
nisms to prevent side to side movement.
When blocking, you must consider overall stability of
the unit. Just placing jackstands under the unit will not
ensure your safety. The working surface must be level
and solid to support the weight on the jackstands.
Ensure jackstands are stable both top and bottom, and
mower is approximately level. With full mower weight
lowered on jackstands, test blocking stability before
working underneath mower.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
WARNING
„ Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplug-
ging, stop tractor engine, place all controls in neu-
tral, set park brake, remove ignition key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
„ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
CAUTION
„ Your dealer can supply original equipment
hydraulic accessories and repair parts. Substitute
parts may not meet original equipment specifica-
tions and may be dangerous.
CD4015
Figure 6. Jackstand Placement
(Tractor and connection not shown)
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
LUBRICATION INFORMATION (Figure 7)
Figure 7 shows the lubrication points. The accompany-
ing chart gives the frequency of lubrication in operating
hours, based on normal conditions. Severe or unusual
conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need
help, your dealer has trained service technicians avail-
able. For your protection, read and follow all safety
information in this manual.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Use SAE 90W gear lube in gearbox. Check gearbox
daily for evidence of leakage at both seals and the gas-
ket between the housing and cover. If leakage is noted,
repair immediately. There may be a small amount of
lube emitted from the vent plug; this is not considered
leakage. Check the gearbox every day using the dip-
stick. Oil level is to be up to the ring but not over. Over-
filling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube to
blow out vent plug. The gear lube could then ruin the
belt.
NOTE: Clean off mower deck before servicing.
BLOCKING METHODS
Jackstands, with a load rating of 1,000 pounds (454 kg)
or more, are the only approved blocking device for this
mower. A minimum of four jackstands, located under
the mower as shown in Figure 6, must be installed
before working underneath this unit. Do not position

Figure 7. Lubrication Points
Use a lithium grease of No. 2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be
sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Do not
overgrease.
Driveline shield bearings (12) must be greased every
eight hours. This operation requires a needle point
adapter for a grease gun. Insert the needle point into
the bearing hole and apply one good pump.
BELT REPLACEMENT (Figure 8)
Daily lubrication of the driveline slip joint is necessary.
Failure to maintain proper lubrication can result in dam-
age to U-joints, gearbox, tractor PTO and/or the mower
driveline.
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley
shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for
cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without
wobble. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth moist-
ened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing
agent or commercial detergent and water.
Disconnect driveline from the tractor.
To lubricate driveline slip joint, insert a grease gun
through shield slots (keep fingers out of slots to prevent
injury) and apply grease to grease fitting. Move drive-
line in and out to distribute grease over the entire work-
ing area.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and
premature belt failure.
Connect driveline to tractor.

CHAIN SHIELDING REPAIR
IMPORTANT
„ Use care when installing or removing belt from
spring-loaded idler in step 6. Springs store energy
when extended and, if released suddenly, can
cause personal injury.
DANGER
„ Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding,
designed to reduce the possibility of thrown
objects, must be installed when operating in popu-
lated areas or other areas where thrown objects
could injure people or damage property. If this
machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or
steel band shielding, operation must be stopped
when anyone comes within 300 feet (91.4 m).
Belt replacement is accomplished in these steps:
1. Loosen nut and swing belt guide G away from pul-
ley F.
2. Loosen nut on eyebolt H to relax tension in spring.
3. Slide belt under and around drive pulley A.
4. Route belt around pulley F, idler E and pulley D as

are bent, excessively nicked, worn or have any other
damage. Small nicks may be ground out when sharp-
ening.
At least once each mowing season or 250 hours of
operation, whichever occurs first, the bearings in the
tailwheel should be removed, cleaned and repacked.
Replace bearings and cones if broken or worn exces-
sively.
Replace blades on a spindle in pairs; an old blade and
a new blade may vary excessively in weight and cause
vibration. Never mix blade types.
Install the wheel in the wheel yoke and tighten the inner
nut until there is a slight bearing drag (similar to auto-
mobile wheels). Hold the inner nut and tighten the lock-
nut against it to maintain bearing adjustment.
Blade Sharpening (Figure 10)
Follow the original sharpening pattern. Make an effort
to maintain balance on both blades from a spindle by
grinding the same amount from them. Blades that vary
excessively in weight can cause vibration.

Blade Spindle Repair Tips
As a reference point, the grease fitting is in the top por-
tion of the spindle housing.
BLOCKING METHODS
To minimize wear, the bearing cups, cones and sleeves
are press fit to the shaft and will require a press or sim-
ilar device for removal.
Jackstands, with a load rating of 1,000 pounds (454 kg)
or more, are the only approved blocking device for this
mower. A minimum of four jackstands, located under
the mower as shown in Figure 12, must be installed
before working underneath this unit. Do not position
jackstands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports
because these components can rotate.
When disassembling, support the housing casting to
prevent damage.
Remove bearing cups by placing a punch in housing
slots and driving cup out. Alternate punch positions
from side to side. Use care to prevent housing dam-
age.
Do not work underneath mower unless it is properly
attached to tractor (see Operation section), the brakes
set, key removed, and the mower blocked securely.
The unit will be anchored to minimize side-to-side and
front-to-rear movement.
Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket®1 or equivalent is
recommended as a sealant for spindle repair.

Blade Spindle Removal
Blade Spindle Assembly (Figure 13)
Remove belt. Remove blades from spindle. Remove
bolt and washer from top of spindle shaft.
Bearing cups and cones are designed to work together.
It is important to position them so bearing cone taper
mates with bearing cup taper.
Remove split taper bushing (located on top of pulley)
by removing the two bolts and inserting them into the
threaded holes in bushing flange. Tighten alternately to
remove split taper bushing.
Lubricate new cups (6) with a light oil. Place them in
spindle housing (5) so they will mate with cones (4).
Seat cups (6) against machined shoulder of housing
with a press or by placing a large soft drift on the flat lip
and driving them into housing.
Remove key and pulley. Remove the four bolts and
nuts attaching spindle to mower frame and remove
spindle.
Pack bottom bearing cone (4) with grease and place it
into housing against bearing cup (6).
Store bushing, pulley and all hardware for reinstalla-
tion.
IMPORTANT
„ Bearing failure is often a result of improper seal
installation and positioning. Follow instructions
carefully.
Blade Spindle Disassembly (Figure 13)
Support housing and press blade carrier and shaft (9)
out. Remove seals, bearing cones, and cups from
housing.
Lightly coat housing area where seals seat with Perma-
tex or equivalent.
Lightly lubricate seal, locate spring and place seal
squarely on housing with spring toward housing center.
Select a pipe or tubing with an outside diameter that
will set on outside seal edge. One that is too small will
bow seal cage.
Carefully press seal into housing, preventing distortion
to metal seal cage. Seal should seat firmly and
squarely against machined housing shoulder.
Make sure seal lip did not roll under.
Distortion to seal cage or seal lip damage will cause
leakage. Damaged seals must be replaced.
Place housing assembly over shaft and blade center
(9) and carefully guide over shaft while pressing shaft
into bearing cup and cone. Assembly should seat firmly
against step in shaft.
Fill housing cavity with a lithium grease of No. 2 consis-
tency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive.
Pack top bearing cone (4) with grease and place it
(taper down) on shaft. Place sleeve (2) on shaft and
press bearing onto shaft until free play is removed and
there is a slight drag (similar to adjusting automobile

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
Read all of this section before starting any repair. Many
steps are dependent on each other.
Remove gearbox from gear stand.
Check gearbox for leakage and shaft side and end
play. If excessive shaft play is found, disassemble
gearbox and inspect bearings and shafts.
Gearbox Disassembly
(Figure 22)
Leakage can occur at top cover and at shaft seals.
Leakage problems should be corrected immediately to
prevent damage to drive belt from gearbox oil.
Remove gearbox from cutter as follows: Disconnect
and remove the rear driveline from the gearbox.
Remove vent plug (27) and siphon gear lube from
housing through this opening. Remove cotter pin,
washer, and nut from vertical shaft and remove cross-
bar. Remove the four bolts that hold the gearbox on the
cutter.
Always clean any spilled lubricant with a cloth moist-
ened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing
agent or commercial detergent and water. Be sure to
clean pulley grooves.
The sealants recommended for gearbox repair are Per-
Remove 3/8" plug from side of gearbox and pour out

Remove oil cap (23) (to be replaced), snap ring (12),
and shim (15) from input shaft (3).
Leakage Repair
Support gearbox in hand press and push on the input
shaft (3) to remove bearing (9) and spacer (14).
Remove top cover (25) from housing and gear (1) from
inside housing.
To repair top cover leakage, clean top cover and hous-
ing sides, then remove cover. Remove old sealant from
cover and housing.
Apply sealant to top cover and replace. Retorque hous-
ing bolts.
Remove oil seal (22) from front of housing (to be
replaced). Remove snap ring (12) and shim (15) from
front of housing.
Horizontal seal leakage should be repaired by replac-
ing the seal. The gearbox should be removed from the
mower to accomplish this. Remove old seal with care
to prevent damage to seal bore and shaft. Sealant
should be applied to the seal bore before installing the
new seal. The new seal should be seated squarely in
the bore against snap ring. Press seal into place with a
piece of pipe or tubing that sets against the outside
edge of the seal. Tubing with an outside diameter that
is too small will bow seal cage and ruin the seal.
Support housing in vise in a horizontal position. The
castle nut (17), cotter pin (28), washer (18), and hub
(24) are already removed with the stump jumper/cross-
bar. Remove the snap ring (10), washer (19), and seal
(21).
Remove cotter pin (11), castle nut (16), and washer
(20) from output shaft (4). Remove output shaft by
using a punch and hammer; tap on the top to drive
down.
Remove gear (5) and shim (15) from inside housing.
Remove bearing (7) by using a punch and hammer
from the top, outside the housing. Support housing
upside down (top cover surface) and remove bearing
(6) by using a punch and hammer from the bottom side
of the housing.
Removing Gearbox from Mower
Remove belt and driveline shields.
Remove rear driveline shield bearings and remove
shield. Remove snap ring from gearbox shaft. Remove
shear bolt from end yoke and remove driveline.
Inspect gears for broken teeth and wear. Some wear is
normal and will show on loaded side. Forged gear sur-
faces are rough when new. Check that wear pattern is
smooth.
Remove drive belt from drive sheave.
Remove gear stand from mower.
Remove drive sheave from mower by removing bolts
from split taper bushing and turning them into threaded
Inspect vertical and horizontal shafts for grooves,
nicks, or bumps in the areas where the seals seat.
Resurface any damage with emery cloth. Inspect hous-
ing and caps for cracks or other damage.

Gearbox Assembly
(Figure 22)
Press in input oil seal (22), using a tube of the correct
diameter. Be careful not to damage the seal lip. Press
oil cap (23) on to cover the rear of housing, using a
tube of the correct diameter.
NOTE: Repair of this gearbox is limited to replacing
bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts,
and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a com-
plete gearbox is more economical.
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.
Clean housing, paying specific attention to the areas
where gaskets will be installed. Wash housing and all
components thoroughly. Select a clean area for gear-
box assembly. Replace all seals, bearings, and gas-
kets. All parts must be clean and lightly oiled before
reassembling.
Remove gearbox from water and dry off with com-
pressed air. Add SAE 80W or 90W EP oil until it runs
out of side level hole. Tighten all plugs.
Insert output bearings (6 & 7) in the housing, using a
round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press.
Drive Pulley Installation
Slide output shaft (4) through both bearings (6 & 7)
until it rests against bearing (6). Slide shim (15) over
output shaft (4). Press gear (5) onto output shaft (4)
and secure with washer (20), castle nut (16), and cotter
pin (11).
(Figure 21)
Invert gear stand.
Install drive pulley and split taper bushing with key on
gearbox vertical shaft.
Apply grease to lower seal lips (21) and press seal (21)
over output shaft (4), using a tube of the correct diame-
ter. Be sure not to damage the seal lip. Press in hous-
ing so that seal is recessed. Insert protective washer
(19) by hand. Install snap ring (10) and position it
together with dual lip seal (21) by pressing into posi-
tion. Verify that snap ring is seated correctly.
The distance between the centerline of the lower pulley
and the bottom of the gear stand is critical. Place a
straightedge along the bottom of the gear stand and
measure from it to the centerline of the pulley. This
measurement should be 2.35" (60 mm), plus or minus
.03" (0.76 mm). Variation from this dimension could
cause belt misalignment and premature belt failure.
Tighten the bolts in the split taper bushing alternately
until they are torqued to 12 lbs-ft (16 Nm). Check the
dimension when tightening is complete; remove and
realign if the dimension was not held.
Press bearing (8) into the housing, using a round tube
of the correct diameter and a hand press. Secure with
shim (15) and snap ring (12). Secure snap ring (13) on
input shaft (3) if not already secure.
Install the gear stand on the mower frame.
Place gear (1) through top of housing and align gear
(1) and gear (5) so that gear teeth are a match. While
holding gear (1) in place, slide input shaft (3) through
gear (1) and bearing (8). Align splines on shaft (3) and
gear (1).
Install the belts, driveline and driveline shielding.
Slide spacer (14) over input shaft (3) and press bearing
onto input shaft (3), using a round tube of the correct
diameter and a hand press. Slide shim (15) over input
shaft (3) and secure with snap ring (12).
CD3948
Check input shaft end float by moving the input shaft
(3) by hand. If end float is higher than 0.012" (0.305
mm), insert shim between input shaft (3) and rear bear-
ing (8). Repeat until end float is less than 0.012".(0.305
mm) Check rotational torque by hand. The torque
should be less than 2.2 lbs-inch (0.25 Nm). Check that
the gear backlash is between 0.006" and 0.016" (0.152
2.35” .03”

Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list.
Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware: SAE for SAE hardware and Metric for metric hardware.
Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
All torque values are given to specifications used on hardware defined by SAE J1701 MAR99 & J1701M JUL96.
