Rear Deflector Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-1:
Rear deflector (#2) can be adjusted closer to the ground
to produce a fine soil texture or raised to produce a
coarse soil texture. Adjust rear deflector up or down by
repositioning chain (#1) in slot “A”.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The skid shoes can be adjusted to the desired tilling
depth by raising or lowering them:
1. Raise tiller off the ground high enough to place
support blocks under the tines.
2. Without lowering the tiller, shut tractor down before
dismounting using “Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 8.
3. Place support blocks under the tiller (not under the
skid shoes).
4. Start tractor and lower tiller onto the support blocks.
5. Shut tractor down before dismounting using “Tractor
Shutdown Procedure” on page 8.
6. The park stand should be in transport position. If it is
not, move it to transport position now. Refer to “Park
Stand Operation” on page 18.
7. Make certain the tiller is securely resting on the
supports before working on or around the tiller.
8. At the front of the right-hand skid shoe, loosen pivot
bolt (#2).
9. Remove adjusting bolt (#3), lock washer (#4), and
flat washer (#5) at the rear of the skid shoe.
10. Adjust skid shoe (#1) to the desired tilling depth.
11. Install removed flat washer (#5), lock washer (#4),
and adjusting bolt (#3). Tighten 1/2"-13 GR5 hex
head bolts (#2 & #3) to the correct torque.
12. Repeat steps 8-11 on the left-hand side of the tiller.
NOTE: Tilling depth is the vertical distance from
bottom of skid shoes to bottom of lowest tine. Make
certain both skid shoes are adjusted the same.
