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.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible
inline production changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and
change the machines as may be necessary without
notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left directions. These are determined by standing
behind the tractor facing the direction of forward travel.
Blade rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the
top of the mower.
■

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Make sure all safety decals are installed.
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for
location.)
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.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing
injury or damage.
OPERATION
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.
You may not be able to stop the tractor safely if
the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms are improp-
erly adjusted, allowing them to contact mower
components.
TRAINING
When the mower lift stops are installed as
instructed in this manual, properly adjusted clutch
and brake pedal mechanisms will not contact
mower components. You should frequently check
that the tractor clutch and brake pedal mechanisms
are in adjustment.
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. To locate your nearest dealer, check
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
If the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms can
contact mower components, do not put mower into
service until properly adjusted.
Do not put mower into service unless discharge
chute is installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

inserting lift chains into keyhole lift lugs. Raise the
mower, checking to ensure it does not contact any part
of tractor. Take up links, one or two at a time, until the
desired height is obtained.
depends on it being operated within the limitations as
explained in the manual. Be familiar with and follow all
safety rules in this manual, the tractor manual and
safety decals on the tractor and mower.
There is a long and short slot in the rear lift lugs. Level
mower by using these slots as needed.
A WARNING
After setting upper lift limit, lower mower to desired cut-
ting height. Set lower stop of mower hydraulic control
lever at this point. This will allow you to raise the mower
when necessary and return to the pre-set cutting
height.
■
Do not exceed PTO speed of 1000 rpm maxi-
mum.
The safe operation of this machine is the responsibility
of the operator. The operator should be familiar with
the mower and tractor and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read and follow the safety rules on
page 5 through page 7.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH
CASTERS
The caster arm has five holes for adjustment. Cutting
height is adjusted by changing the adjustment bracket
hole alignment with the caster arm.
The mower is designed for lawn or grass mowing. It is
not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed mow-
ing.
There are two holes on the frame rail to mount the
caster arm. Use the rear hole for settings up to 3". Use
the front hole for settings above 3".
It is equipped with suction type blades for best results
in lawn mowing. Optional low suction blades are avail-
able for use in sandy conditions.
Whenever adjustments are made to the casters, care-
fully raise mower to ensure casters do not come in con-
tact with any part of tractor. Should any interference
occur, readjust lift chains.
The warranty for this mower appears on the inside
back cover of this manual. Record the model and serial
numbers of your mower in the spaces provided above
the warranty. Provide this information to your dealer to
obtain correct repair parts.
Set lower stop of tractor hydraulic control lever to pre-
vent chains rubbing belt.
Take all possible precautions when leaving tractor
unattended: disengage PTO, lower mower, shift into
neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key
from ignition.
IMPORTANT
■
Be sure lift chains do not interfere with drive
belt.
DAILY CHECK LIST
■
Always raise mower off casters when backing
up and turning at the same time to prevent casters
from locking up on front tires.
___ Check that mower is properly and securely
attached to tractor.
Attitude Adjustment
___ During inspection, check that all nuts and bolts
are secure and clevis pins are properly cotter
pinned.
___ Check condition of blades and security of attach-
ment.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH-
OUT CASTERS
Figure 1. Attitude Adjustment
Mower cutting height is raised, lowered and maintained
using tractor hydraulics and lift chains. Proper lift chain
adjustment is essential. The chains must be adjusted
so that tractor lift arms are in their highest position
before the lift or any part of mower is within 1/4" of con-
tacting tractor or mower lift stops. Improper lift chain
adjustment could result in damage to lift mechanism or
tractor.
Place tractor and mower on a level surface to check
and adjust mower attitude. For best mowing results,
dimension “A” should not be more than 1/2" higher and
never lower than dimension “B” (except when using a
leaf mulcher or with some tractor tire configurations, it
may be necessary to adjust rear of mower approxi-

mately 1/4" lower than front to prevent belt from rub-
bing on mower.)
■
Do not operate mower in vicinity of other per-
sons.
■
Do not allow riders on tractor or mower.
Dimension “B” is set by adjusting optional casters or lift
chains.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
Dimension “A” is set by raising or lowering channel
arms in push bars.
___ Check to ensure blades are sharp and secure
and cutting edge is positioned in the direction of
blade rotation (counter-clockwise as viewed from
top of mower).
IMPORTANT
■
Any adjustment to either dimension “A” or “B”
will require checking the other adjustment.
___ Always operate tractor PTO at 1000 rpm maxi-
mum when mowing.
Set desired cutting height with casters or lift chains
then adjust for dimension “A”.
___ Check to make sure all safety shielding is prop-
erly installed and is in good condition. Be sure
discharge chute or side shield is installed.
Check attitude by placing a straight edge along outside
edge of mower as shown in Figure 1. Measure from
bottom of straight edge to ground. The measurement at
dimension “B” should be level with or approximately
1/2" lower than the rear. The measurement at dimen-
sion “A” should never be lower than the one at dimen-
sion “B” (except when using a leaf mulcher or with
some tractor tire configurations, it may be necessary to
adjust rear of mower approximately 1/4" lower than
front to prevent belt from rubbing on mower.)
___ Check cutting height adjustment.
___ Clear area to be mowed of debris that could be
picked up and thrown by mower.
___ Place tractor transmission in neutral and be sure
PTO is disengaged before attempting to start
tractor engine.
___ Make sure all critical tractor adjustments such as
brake and clutch pedal travel, etc., are set to trac-
tor manufacturer’s specifications.
To determine cutting height, it is necessary to subtract
the distance the blade is below mower from the mea-
surement at dimension “B”. Subtract 4-7/8" from
dimension “B”; the remainder is the cutting height.
STARTING & STOPPING MOWER
Power for operating the mower is supplied by tractor
power take off (PTO). Refer to your tractor manual for
PTO operating instruction.
Be sure mower is level side to side using these mea-
surements. If it is not, check to be sure casters are set
in same hole, and that channel arms and push bars are
set in same hole on each side. Minor adjustments can
be made by using slots in rear lift bracket for adjust-
ments.
A WARNING
When making cutting height or attitude changes, be
sure to check belt alignment. (Refer to Belt Alignment
in Assembly section on page 23.)
■
Do not exceed PTO speed of 1000 rpm maxi-
mum.
IMPORTANT
Improper belt alignment or tension can cause
A CAUTION
■
premature belt failure.
■
Stop mower and tractor immediately upon
striking an obstructions. Inspect mower and repair
any damage before resuming operation.
Side Skid Adjustment
With cutting height established, adjust side skids at
least 1/2" above ground level. Properly adjusted side
skids are designed to carry mower over uneven ground
and minimize scalping. Never adjust side skids to be in
constant contact with ground.
Should mower become plugged, causing belt to slip
over two seconds, raise mower just enough to clear
plug and continue running for 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.
Do not raise mower higher than necessary, to reduce
the risk of thrown objects.
A WARNING

increase PTO speed to 1000 rpm and maintain
throughout cutting operation.
Before mowing, analyze the area to determine the best
mowing procedure. Consider the height, type of grass
and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough).
During operation mowing vibration tends to loosen
hardware. All hardware should be checked regularly to
maintain proper torque. It is good practice to check
mower before each operation to ensure all hardware is
tight.

installed.
■
A DANGER
MOWING TECHNIQUES
Mowing Speed
■
Keep hands and feet away from discharge
opening.
The condition of the terrain to be cut will determine the
smoothness of final results. For best results, mower
blades should be kept sharp at all times and the mower
as level as possible. When mower blades show exces-
sive wear, they should be replaced.
A WARNING
■
Pick up all rocks, twigs and other debris before
Proper ground speed for mowing will depend on the
height, type and density of grass to be cut. Normally,
ground speed will range from two to five mph. Tall,
dense grass should be mowed at lower speeds, while
thin, medium height grass can be cut at a faster ground
speed.
mowing. Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass
higher the first time to allow mower to clear unseen
objects. Never assume an area is clear. Always
check!
■
Clear mowing area of all people when operating
mower. Thrown objects could injure bystanders.
Always operate tractor PTO at 1000 rpm maximum
when mowing. This is necessary to maintain proper
blade speed to produce a clean cut. Under certain sea-
sonal conditions, front tractor tires may roll some
grasses down and prevent them from being cut to the
same height as the surrounding area. When this
occurs, reduce the tractor ground speed, operating
tractor PTO at 1000 rpm. The slower speed will permit
grasses to at least partially rebound and be cut.
Mow with uncut grass to the right. This will distribute
the clippings over the cut area. Discharging clippings
over uncut grass will cause a buildup and may prevent
uniform cutting.
For a professional touch in large open areas, try the
mowing pattern in Figure 2. Make two passes counter-
clockwise to discharge clippings away from bordering
objects. Then cut the lawn in half by mowing down the
center. Turn clockwise to the right at end of area over
grass previously mowed.
Under some conditions, the grasses will not rebound
enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven
appearance. In general, lower mowing heights give a
more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward
whenever possible.
It is better to mow grass more often rather than too
short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather
and invites weed growth during growing seasons. Fol-
low local recommendations for the suitable cutting
height in your area.
Mowing Tips
Extremely tall grass should be mowed twice. Cut grass
higher on first pass. Cut the second time at desired
height at 90° to the first pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
use less power.
10 Operation

Avoid sudden starts and stops when traveling up or
down hill. Always mow down steep slopes, never up or
across the face.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tip-
ping or loss of control.

Shims should be added to blade installation to leave
approximately 1/32" cup in cup washers when blade
bolt is torqued to 170 lbs-ft.
A CAUTION
Excessive blade slipping can cause the cup washers to
burn and lose their clamping force. If this happens, the
cup washers must be replaced.
■
Always use personal protection devices such
as eye and ear protectors when performing mainte-
nance functions.
This blade friction clutch disc allows the assembly to
slip when hitting a solid object. If slippage occurs dur-
ing normal mowing, it may be necessary to add an
additional shim washer (6).

The information in this section is written for dealer ser-
vice personnel. The repair described herein requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.
SPINDLE INSPECTION
Spindles are equipped with two tapered roller bearings.
Adjustment is set by pressing a sleeve on the shaft
until all end play is removed. Adjustment is maintained
with a roll pin driven through the sleeve and shaft.
Periodically inspect blade spindles by grasping pulley,
moving from side to side and up and down. Also rotate
spindle. If end play or wobble is detected or if it feels
rough when rotated (indicating bad bearings), repair or
replace.

Remove bearing cups from housing by placing a punch
in slots provided and drive out. Alternate punch posi-
tion from side to side. Take care to prevent housing
damage.
Place seal squarely on housing and select pipe or tub-
ing with an OD that will set on outside edge of seal. A
tubing with an OD that is too small will bow seal cage.
Carefully guide seal lip over shaft and carefully press
seal into housing. Be careful to prevent distortion to
metal cage. Seal should seat firmly and squarely
against machined shoulder in housing.
Assembly
Bearing cones and cups are designed to mate. It is
important to position them so bearing cones taper
mates with cup taper.
Make sure seal lip did not roll under. Distortion to seal
case or damage to seal lip will cause seal to leak.
Damaged seals must be replaced.
Lubricate new cups with a light oil. Place them in spin-
dle housing with tapers toward the outside.
Carefully press top seal into housing with spring up and
away from center of housing. Top seal should be flush
with up to 1/16" above housing.
Seat cups securely with a press or place a large soft
drift on the flat lip of cup and drive them into housing
until seated against machined shoulder of housing.
Drill a 3/16" hole 9/32" down from top of sleeve and
drive roll pin through sleeve and shaft to hold bearing
adjustment.
Polish areas of shaft and sleeve where seals will seat
with emery cloth.
Place bottom bearing cone on spindle shaft so it will
mate with cup, and press on until it seats on bottom
shoulder of shaft.
Lubricate spindle with a medium grade grease. Turn
spindle bottom up and vent bottom seal with a dull
instrument such as a tongue depressor or letter
opener.
Insert shaft and bearing through bottom of housing and
seat against cup.
Apply grease until it comes out where you are venting
seal. Use care to prevent cutting or nicking seal.
Fill housing cavity with a medium grade grease.
Rotate spindle housing on shaft, checking for free
movement.
Install top bearing on shaft to mate with top cone and
press on shaft until there is room for sleeve.
Apply a thin coat of Permatex to shaft area where
sleeve will seat. Install sleeve on shaft and press
sleeve and bearing down shaft until all end play is
removed (similar to adjusting front wheel bearings on
an automobile). Check by spinning spindle. It should
turn freely. If it is too tight, hold spindle housing and hit
spindle shaft with a lead hammer. Press again until the
proper adjustment is obtained.
Spindle Installation
Insert spindle up through bottom of mower frame. Posi-
tion grease fitting for proper lubrication access and
install the four mounting bolts.
PULLEY INSTALLATION
Install pulley onto spindle shaft. Install split taper bush-
ing and key. Alternately tighten bolts to 12 lbs-ft. Check
to be sure pulley is located on shaft to the dimensions
shown in Figure 8. Dimensions are from top of mower
frame to pulley center line.
Be careful not to over-tighten bearings. Proper bearing
adjustment is essential to good bearing lift.
IMPORTANT
■
Improper positioning of seals can cause seal
and spindle damage.
Proper seal installation is important. An improperly
installed seal will leak and could cause bearing failure.
Pull the rubber portion of seal back and locate spring.
Lightly coat area of housing where seals seat with Per-
matex.
Install bottom seal with spring up toward center of
housing.

ASSEMBLY
DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of this mower is the responsibility of the
Woods dealer. The mower should be delivered to the
owner completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted
for normal cutting conditions.
Using these instructions, set up mower as received
from the factory.
Complete check lists on page 27 when set-up is com-
plete.
The mower 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 on page 35.

2. Side Shield
3. Side Skid
Select a suitable working area. Open parts boxes and
lay out parts and hardware to make locating easy.
Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and
exploded view drawings.
Figure 9. Discharge Chute, Side Shield &
Side Skid Installation
A CAUTION
Crosswise Support Installation
Attach crosswise support to mower deck, welded lug
forward. The lug has two holes. Use bottom holes for
low cutting heights and top holes for higher cutting
heights. Install spacer bushing into appropriate hole.
Insert bolt through deck and slide crosswise support
onto bolt. Secure with nut.
■
Always use personal protection devices such
as eye and ear protectors during assembly.
MOWER PREPARATION
A DANGER
■
Keep away. To avoid serious injury or death
from thrown objects or blade contact, never oper-
ate mower without discharge chute in place.
Side Skid Installation
Attach side skids to outer frame rail with 1/2 x 1-1/4"
bolts. Final adjustment of skids will be necessary when
cutting height is established.

with 5/8 x 1-1/2" clevis pins and secure with safety
pins. Attach channels to crosswise support with clevis
pins and secure with safety pins.
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before you install a new belt, check pulley
shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for
cleanliness and be sure pulleys turn freely and with
only slight wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten
a cloth with a non-flammable, non-toxic, degreasing
agent or commercial detergent and water.
Lift Chain Installation
See Figure 10. Lift chains are inserted in keyhole
brackets on mower deck and secured with caplugs.
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. Always loosen idler pulleys prior
to belt installation.
There are two sets of three keyhole brackets. Use the
front outside brackets.
Belt Take-Up Assembly
The belt may be completely installed with mower
mounted on tractor. However, it is easier to install belt
on mower frame with mower detached.
Be sure belt clears belt guides by 1/8". Reform guide if
necessary. This should be checked with belt com-
pletely installed.
Step 1: Insert belt in bottom right hand groove of center
pulley and route toward take-up assembly. Tip take-up
assembly forward and route belt through idler pulleys
as shown in Figure 12.
1. Left Blade Spindle
2. Front Side Idler
3. Back Side Idler
The belt take-up assembly replaces left belt shield. To
install, remove left belt shield and replace with take-up
assembly. Do not tighten hardware until belt is
installed.

Push Channel Attachment
Select desired cutting height (refer to Operation sec-
tion), and attach push channel arms to idler bracket
with 5/8 x 1-3/4 clevis pins (installed from outside in)
and secure with safety pins.
Belt Installation
Figure 19. Best Possible Alignment of Left Idler
Pull belt to rear of tractor. Give belt a 3/4 clockwise
twist between center pulley and left idler. Install belt
under idler and route over drive pulley. A 1/4 clockwise
twist should occur between right idler and center pulley.
If any twist occurs other than these, the belt is incor-
rectly installed. Recheck installation steps and correct
as necessary.
Lift Chain Installation
Figure 20. Maximum Left Idler Should be Raised
Figure 21. Maximum Left Idler Should be Lowered
Straighten lift chains so links are flat (without twist) and
thread through front lift bracket chain idlers mounted
directly above mower frame.
Route chain under tractor and through rear chain idlers
mounted on idler bracket. Make sure chain remains
flat. A twisted chain will not roll smoothly through chain
idler. Insert end of chain into rear lift lugs mounted on
tractor rockshaft arms. When cutting height is adjusted
and installation complete, cut off excess chain leaving
over 4".
Adjust cutting height (refer to Operation section, page
8).
Figure 22. Best Possible Alignment of Right Idler
Figure 23. Maximum Right Idler Should be Raised
Belt Alignment
See Figure 19 through Figure 24. Belt alignment and
tension should be set at the same time. It is suggested
that you read both the Alignment and Tensioning sec-
tions on page 23 before attempting either. Improper
tension or alignment will affect belt life.
With mower level and cutting height set, check belt
alignment.
Belt alignment is accomplished by adjusting idler pul-
leys and/or moving the mower forward or to the rear
with push channel adjustment.
Alignment tolerance are shown in Figure 19 through
Figure 24. The best idler alignment is shown in Figure
19 and Figure 22. However, it is not always possible to
achieve. Alignment may be set within the tolerances
given but the left idler must always be at least 1" higher
than the right.
Figure 24. Maximum Right Idler Should be Lowered
Belt Tension
Set belt tension using a spring scale or other force
measuring device. Remove right belt shield and attach
scale between the center and right pulley. Apply
between three and four pounds of force. Belt deflection
should measure 5/16" for normal conditions.
Be sure belt does not rub on rear apron of mower. If
mower is set to high cutting heights, it is sometimes
necessary to run back of mower 1/4" lower than front to
prevent this.
Tension may be increased if necessary to prevent belt
from slipping in heavy mowing conditions.
IMPORTANT
■
Belt must not rub deck or crosswise support.
Assembly 23

When checking tension without a force measuring
device, the belt, when properly set, should feel very
tight.
Attach the right and left adjustment brackets, offset
down and inward, and in front hole as shown in Figure
25 on each side of the deck angle and inside side skid.
Use two 1/2" flat washers as spacers at the rear side
skid hole.
Cycle belt through at least two revolutions after any
adjustment before checking tension. These belts are
very strong and need to be adjusted very tightly. Belts
are more likely to be damaged by excessive slippage
than from being overtightened.
Select the desired cutting height and install adjustment
brackets to caster arm with 1/2" x 1-3/4" bolts and
secure with 1/2" flange lock nuts.
Minor tension adjustments are made by moving the
idler pulleys up or down. Major tension adjustments are
made by moving the mower deck forward and rear-
ward.
Adjust side skids to ride at least 1/2" above ground
level.
IMPORTANT
■
Alignment must be rechecked if it is necessary
to move idler pulleys or the mower deck to get
proper belt tension.
■
Tension on a new belt should be readjusted
every half hour for the first two hours and then
checked every eight hours of operation.

Front Roller
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
The front roller should be used when scalping occurs.
Side skids and casters effectively reduce scalping in
most cases. You may encounter areas where the side
skids or casters will drop into depressions and allow
the center of the mower to contact the ground and
scalp. When this occurs you should install a front roller
in the center of the mower.
A leaf mulcher, low suction blades, extra-suction
blades, front roller and casters are offered as optional
equipment for this mower. Some options may not be
available for some mountings.
Blades
Low suction and extra suction blades are optional for
this mower. In sandy areas where abrasive action
could cause excessive blade wear, low suction blades
are recommended.
Extra suction blades are designed to lift up fragile
downed grasses for better cutting results. They are
also recommended for use with leaf mulcher attach-
ment.
Figure 26. Scalping Without Front Rollers
Casters
Casters are used to adjust cutting height.
Mount casters on mowers to the outside deck rails and
over side shield or discharge chute. Attach rear of
caster arm in fourth hole from front of deck rail with a
3/8" x 1-1/2" bolt and secure with lock washer and nut.
The arm may be mounted in the third hole to obtain
more height and caster adjustment.
