SECTION 1A. GENERAL INFORMATION
CONTENTS
This manual contains repair instructions for major trac-
tor components, attachments, and options. The Table
of Contents at the start of each section lists the con-
tents of that section. Sections are identified by tabs in
the right hand margin.
This manual is to be used in conjunction with the Oper-
ator’s Manual and Parts Catalog.
Normal maintenance, adjustment, and operating pro-
cedures are also covered in the Operator’s Manual and
are only included where appropriate in this Service and
Repair Manual.
Engine repair is not covered in this manual. Refer to
the appropriate engine manufacturer’s instructions for
engine service and repair.
This manual includes all removal, disassembly, inspec-
tion, repair, reassembly, installation, adjustment, and
testing procedures. If you, as the user of this machine,
do not consider yourself or your repair facilities capable
of a given procedure, please contact your Jacobsen
dealer or distributor.
Information, specifications, illustrations, and proce-
dures in this manual are based on information in effect
at the time this manual was published. Improvements
and product changes due to continual advancements
of the product design may cause changes to your prod-
uct that may not be included in this manual. Each man-
ual is reviewed and updated as required to include
changes and product improvements.
Read each section completely before proceeding with
specific repairs in that section. You will minimize errors
by understanding what you will be doing and how the
component relates to others in its system. Lists of
repair tools and materials for each section of the man-
ual are given at the start of that section.
The designations L.H. (left hand) and R.H. (right hand)
are used throughout this manual and refer to the oper-
ator’s left or right when sitting in the normal operating
position.
INDEX NUMBERS
Illustrations showing removal, disassembly, reassem-
bly, and illustration may have index numbers to call out
the sequence of procedures.
Where the sequence of procedures is not important or
self-evident (e.g. linkages, hoses, clamps, etc.) index
numbers are not included.
Repair procedures for items not subject to wear (e.g.
panels, brackets, frames) are not included in this man-
ual except for the general procedures given below.
Exercise common sense during disassembly or reas-
sembly; remove only the items required to accomplish
the necessary repair or service.

replacement parts. Follow the installation instructions
