Motor Spindle Hub
Refer to Figure 8-7:
The motor spindle hub (#1), has two cavity plugs (#2)
located on one side of the housing.
1. Disengage PTO driveline.
2. Position cutter deck in transport position and secure
with deck safety chain.
3. Set tractor park brake, shut engine off and remove
switch key before continuing.
4. Remove one of the cavity plugs (#2) to check fluid
level. Fluid level should be within 1/2" from top of port
opening.
5. Add 80-90 weight gearlube as required. Full capacity
of motor housing is approximately 1/3 pint.
6. Install cavity plug and tighten.
Hydraulic Reservoir
Refer to Figure 8-8:
The hydraulic reservoir has an effective capacity of 35
gallons. A dipstick located on the fill cap indicates correct
reservoir fluid level. Disengage PTO driveline and shut
tractor engine off before checking fluid level. Add
hydraulic fluid as needed to fill to full mark on dipstick.
A filter mounted on the hydraulic reservoir is used to
clean the return hydraulic fluid to the reservoir tank.
Replace filter element every 2 years with a conventional
10 micron filter.
Speed Increaser
Refer to Figure 8-9:
The speed increaser is mounted between the PTO
driveline and hydraulic pump. It is used to increase PTO
speed from 540 rpm or 1000 rpm to approximately 2000
rpm at the pump.
Check oil level by removing level plug located on the
gearbox side.Oil level should be level with bottom of plug
hole. Add oil if low through the breather/fill cap opening.
Change oil after the first 100 working hours. Make
successive changes every 1500 hours thereafter or
every year, whichever comes first. Drain old oil through
the drain plug hole located at the bottom. Be sure to
reinstall drain plug and tighten before filling gearbox. Fill
gearbox with 80-90W EP gearlube. Reinstall level plug
and tighten. Replace breather/fill cap.
NOTE: To check fluid level, ports (#2) in motor
spindle hub must point to the right side of the deck.
