MAINTENANCE
Paint
If there are areas where the paint has peeled or
flaked, these should be sanded down to bare
metal. New primer and paint should be applied to
this area. Decomposing grass can be a very
caustic substance. It will eat away the paint and
metal and allow rust to set in. Repainting areas
will assure longer deck life. See Image Mnt-R-
0237.
BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes are made of a hardened steel to
reduce wear and increase their service life.
Premature wear can be caused by the mower
wings being set too low, allowing the wing shoes
to drag on the ground continuously. See Image
Mnt-R-0238.
Tongue Bolt
Remove the bolt. Examine for signs of abnormal wear and cracks. If any of these parts are worn, bent, or
deformed, replace them. These parts hold the tractor and mower together and must be maintained in good
working condition. See Image Mnt-R-0241.
