USE AND CARE OF ATTACHMENTS
LUBRICATION OF
ATTACHMENTS
1.
TILLERS, ROTARY MOWERS, SNOW THROWERS
AND POWER SWEEPERS:
Remove the pipe plug on top of the attachment gear
housing. If the oil level is more than 2 inches (50
mm) below the filler hole, fill to the top with SAE 80/
90 or SAE 90EP (extreme pressure) gear oil. Main-
tain at the nearly full level.
2.
MOWER BARS:
These require no gear oil but need frequent greasing
with a lithium based (general purpose) grease pum-
ped through two "zerk" type fittings on the housing.
3.
ALL ATTACHMENTS:
Remove dirty grease and lubricate the PTO coupling
of the attachment with bearing grease whenever
greasing the unit PTO. For other points of lubrication,
see the particular attachment.
COUPLING ATTACHMENT
TO PTO
When the PTO flange of the attachment is coupled to
the unit PTO flange and the PTO is engaged, the spli-
ned shaft slides out to engage the splined (grooved)
shaft of the attachment.
Then the shafts rotate as a single member until the PTO
shift lever is used to retract the drive shaft.
Although the attachment may be coupled directly to the
unit PTO, there is a quick hitch that can shorten the time
for coupling and uncoupling attachments. There are al-
so PTO extensions in lengths of 3" and 6" which can be
coupled between the PTO and attachment for better ba-
lance with certain attachment and engine combinations.
A.
DIRECT COUPLING:
1.
Remove the lock nuts and washers from the
tractor PTO studs.
2.
Align the tractor PTO with the connecting flange
of the attachment. Always bring the tractor to the
attachment. If necessary use props to level the
attachment.
3.
Slide the PTO studs into the attachment flange
and secure with the washers and lock nuts.
B.
QUICK HITCH:
1.
The hitch consists of two parts held together by
a captive T-handled pin. Pull and turn pin side-
ways to separate the parts.
2.
Remove the two nuts from the tractor PTO studs
and the two bolts and nuts from the quick hitch.
3.
Attach the female part, pin-side-up, to the tractor
PTO. Attach the male part, hole-side-up, to the
attachment connecting flange. Install and tighten
the four nuts.
4.
Fit the attachment part into the PTO part. Twist
the pin so it drops down into locking position, se-
curing the two parts together.
5.
To uncouple, pull the pin.
