LUBRICATION AND STORAGE
L
UBRICATION
Economical and efficient operation of any machine
depends upon regular and adequate lubrication of
moving parts. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency,
premature wear, breakdown, and needless and costly
replacement of parts.
CAUTION: KEEP WELL CLEAR OF MOVING
PARTS. BE SURE TO SHUT OFF THE
TRACTOR AND PLACE KEY IN POCKET
WHILE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. WAIT FOR
ALL MOVEMENT TO STOP BEFORE
APPROACHING MACHINE.
Lubricate Every 10 Hours
•
U-Joints at the gearbox.
•
Belt drive idler pivot points.
•
Belt drive spring bolt slide areas.
•
Scalper lift support pivots, if so equipped.
•
Steerable wheel pivots if so equipped.
CV PTO
A high quality general-purpose grease may be used;
however, a lithium based grease is recommended.
Lubricate every 8 hours of operation.
1.
Cross & Bearings (2 places - 4 to 5 pumps).
2.
CV, Cross & Bearings (1 place - 8 to 12 pumps).
3.
Telescoping Members (1 place), fill until grease
fills the telescoping area. Disassemble
occasionally to ensure components are clean and
adequately greased (4 to 8 pumps).
4.
Shield Bearings (3 plastic zerks), 2 pumps.
IMPORTANT: When making many sharp turns, grease
the CV, Cross & Bearings at 4-hour intervals.
IMPORTANT: Failure to grease the CV,
Cross &
Bearings,
and telescoping members will reduce the life
of the CV.
Lubricate Once Per Season Or Every
300 Hours
1.
Wheel bearings – clean and repack with wheel
bearing grease.
Figure 25 - Center Rotor Bearing
2.
Center rotor coupler – See Figure 26
Figure 26 - Center Coupler Lube
Ball Bearings
See
Figure 25
for center rotor bearing.
NOTE:
The flanged bearings are sealed bearings.
Lubricate sparingly, seal damage may result with over
greasing. One or two pumps every 20 hours max. Diesel
fuel squirted on the seals at the end of the season will
help to keep seals soft and flexible.

EARBOX
1. Drain and refill the gearbox with 3.5 quarts of
85W-140 oil.
