CRANKSHAFT ACCESS
(continued)
Find the center punched marking on the front end of the tractor(shown below), and use it as a
guide for cutting. Use a 1-3/4” hole saw to cut a hole for the driveshaft. Once the hole is cut you
will be able to look through the hole and see the driveshaft cover.
The driveshaft cover is held on by two bolts. To remove these bolts take off the panel
covering the fan. Then you will have access to the bolts on the driveshaft cover.
The battery plate will need to stay elevated for the crankshaft adapter to be installed on the
crankshaft pulley. Tilt the crankshaft adapter and slide it into place.
Before inserting the driveshaft into the crankshaft adapter, apply Anti-Seize lubricant to
the splines of the driveshaft. Re-apply Anti-Seize once a year after that.
After the crankshaft adapter is installed & torqued, remove blocks and re-install bolts that
were removed to prop up the battery plate.
