Refer to Figure 1-7 on page 13:
A 3-Point Category I or Category II hitch is required. The
lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized
to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have
sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1. Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower
3-Point arm holes with clevis lug holes “C”.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Attach lower arms to clevises with hitch pins (#9) and
secure with hairpin cotters (#6) as follows:
a.
Cat. l 3-Point Hitch:
Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in
hole “A”.
b.
Cat. ll 3-Point Hitch and Cat. l & ll Quick Hitch:
Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in hole “B”.
c. See also Figure 1-5 & Figure 1-6 for illustration of
hitch pin positions in clevis.

4. Connect top center 3-Point link to upper pivot hitch:
a.
Cat. l Hitch:
Connect center link with clevis
pin (#8) and hairpin cotter (#7).
b.
Cat. ll Hitch:
Connect center link with clevis
pin (#8), pivot tube (#2), and hairpin cotter (#7).
5. The length of the top center link will be adjusted later
after the tail wheel has been installed.
6. The arm lift cylinders on your tractor’s 3- point hitch
should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please
consult your tractor’s manual for adjusting
instructions.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and bodily
injury or death to anyone nearby.
Refer to Figure 1-4:
1. Remove rubber sleeve (#3) from gearbox input shaft.
2. Remove coupling bolts (#1) from end of
driveline (#5).
3. Unsnap access doors (#4) on both sides of gearbox
shield and rotate doors open.
4. Slide slip-clutch end of driveline (#5) onto gearbox
input shaft until holes in slip-clutch align with notch in
gearbox shaft.
5. Insert coupling bolts (#1) through driveline yoke and
gearbox input shaft.
6. Secure with removed hex nuts (#2). Tighten hex nuts
to the correct torque.
7.
Close access doors (#4) on gearbox shield.
8. Raise driveline (#5) up and rotate driveline hook (#6)
down.
9. Lower driveline (#5) until resting in driveline
hook (#6).
