Nuts And Bolts
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness after the first 8 hours of operation then weekly. Check thecondition of cotter
pins, roll pins and other fasteners weekly and replace if necessary.
Bolt Grades and Torque
When replacing damaged bolts use only plated Grade 5 bolts unless otherwise specified. Use only bolts of the
correct length [ Refer to the “Parts Manual” ]. Do not replace lock nuts with nuts and lock washers. Use only
original equipment lock nuts.
Recommended Torques in foot pounds for SAE Grade 5 bolts, based on dry assembly:
Drive Chain
The drive chain is tightened by loosening the 3/4" bolt holding the idler sprocket and forcing it down until the chain
is at the proper tension. Allow 5/8" of movement up or down at the center of the
bottom chain section.
Clean out any dirt accumulated in the chain case. Use a brush to spread an even coat of lubrication over the entire
length of chain.
Windrower Teeth
Hard surfacing applied to the windrower teeth should be reapplied before the original hard surface material has
been worn off. Once the hard surface material is gone wear to the base metal of the teeth will be very rapid. CX170
hard surfacing electrodes are recommended.
Driveline Shields
The plastic cones shielding the slip clutch and shear bolt need to be periodically/ frequently cleaned. Stop the
tractor engine, disconnect the PTO shaft and remove any debris that has accumulated inside the shield.
