1. Clean the deck, motor and spindle area of debris
before beginning any dis-assembly. When removing
the spindles it WILL NOT require the removal or dis-
connecting of any hydraulic lines (hoses).
2. Remove the Blade Bar or Pan Assembly ( figure
2). Use caution, make certain blade carrier is sup-
ported before removing the 4 socket head bolts in the
center of the blade carrier. It is recommended a hoist
with sufficient rating for weight be used to hold blade
carriers for wing. Center section blade carrier should
be supported by jackstands (at least 3 jackstands)
while being unbolted and lowered with a jack that has
a large top surface area.
CAUTION: Measure the
length of the socket head bolts that mount the blade
carrier to the spindle shaft. Make certain not to use
bolts that are longer that what was removed. DO NOT
screw the bolts into shaft while the spindle assembly
is completely assembled. If longer bolts or the ones
that came out are screwed in to far the spindle shaft,
bearing ring, bearings or other components can be
damaged.
3. Unbolt the hydraulic motor (figure 3) . Hoses &
Motor can be left connected to motor. Remove the
bolts attaching the motor to spindle. Lift motor up and
off of spindle. Motor can be left sitting on deck with
hydraulic lines attached but make certain not to sit
motor in debris that may be on deck, keep the motor
shaft clean..
