6.3 REEL BEARING ___________________________________________________________
1. Remove both bedknife adjusting handles, springs,
spaces and screws (D~G - Figure 6A) to allow the
bedknife to swing free of reel.
2. Remove right side drive wheel.
3. Remove screws (J) and the right side reel bearing
cover (H).
4. Block the reel and tighten reel nut (K) until all end
play is eliminated and the reel turns freely.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten nut. If nut is
overtightened the gear housings will be drawn inward
and cause the bedknife backing to bind. The bedknife
backing must swing freely between gear housings at all
times.
5. Assemble all components in reverse order of
disassembly. Adjust bedknife.

6.4 WHEEL BEARING _________________________________________________________
1. The bearing nut (S) must be adjusted so that there is
no end play (too loose) or so tight that it creates drag.
Either condition will create wear to the entire gear
train.
2. Remove lock screw (N) and retaining tab (M) from
the wheel hub cap (L). Remove hub cap.
NOTE:
The wheel hub (L) has been tightened to 300 ft-lb
(540 Nm) and will require some force to remove.
3. Remove and discard cotter pin (P). Adjust nut (S) as
required and assemble new cotter pin.
4. Apply a non hardening gasket compound, such as
Permatex No. 2, to threads of hub cap (L).
Assemble to mower and torque to 300 ft lb (540
Nm).
5. Assemble retaining tab (M) and screw (N).
