Ransome Models
Your new units come with the parts to fit all styles of Ransome Triplex Mowers.
Tools Required:
½” Combination Wrench and Socket 9/16” Combination Wrench
2-3/4” Combination Wrenches
5/32” Allen Wrench
1. Read these instructions carefully, and familiarize yourself with the parts and assembly drawings before starting.
2. Loosen and/or remove the retaining nuts from the hydraulic motors on the cutting units, and remove the
motors.
(Spline coupler and retaining nuts are not needed for the roller, so keep them with the cutting unit) .
3. Remove cover cap, and the 3/8” retainer pin from the 1” vertical lift pin on the cutting unit, raise the lift
arm off of the cutting unit, and slide the cutting unit out of the way.
4. After unpacking all the rollers and identifying all the hardware, remove the 5/16” nuts from the four
mounting bolts for the lift plate (31A-7086B).
5. Install this plate as shown, replace bolts and nuts, and tighten securely.
6.
Remove the 1/2” bolt from the lift plate and install the lift pin (37P-7517) as shown; be sure the pivot
limiter is forward.
7. Reinstall the bolt, with one spacer on either side of the lift pin, replace the nut, and tighten until some
resistance is noticed yet does not restrict the pivot action of lift pin.
NOTE: Generally all Ransome
Models will require this pin to be mounted in the rear most hole of the lift plate; however, some early
model G-Plex II models require the center unit to be mounted in the forward hole.
8.
On the belt guard side, remove the 3/8” bolt securing the endplate to frame that is located directly above the
roller. Install the rubber mount (37P-7046) as indicated on the drawing.
9. On the opposite end of the roller, install the rubber mount (37P-7046). This is now the center unit.
10. Install the remaining rubber mounts (37P-7046), one per unit, on the other units. One will go above the
belt guard on the Right Unit. One will go above the hydraulic motor location on the Left Unit.
11. Place the rollers under the machine in their respective positions: left, right, center.
12. Raise the lift arm and the tube and install it over the lift pin (37P-7517).
13. Replace the 3/8” retaining the pin and the cap.
14. Loosen and/or remove the motor mount nuts and washers, fit the motor into place and replace the washers
and nuts then tighten.
15. Check that all rubber stops contact their respective positions and do not interfere with any of the
mechanical workings of the mower. Adjust if necessary.
16. Check the operation of the rollers.
The pivot limiter on lift pin will need to be adjusted to fit your needs, i.e. undulations on your greens, ground
clearance while in transport, etc.
Other hardware included:
12-5/16” x 1-3/4” flathead screws with nuts are used for four bolt motor units. Remove the two 3/8” studs from the
aluminum housing, thread and tighten the four 5/16” screws into the pre-tapped holes per each roller, and secure the
motor on the outside with the four units.
1” flat washers are needed in the event that your rollers twist, or travel at an angle. Install these washers on the lift
pin (37P-7057) and under the lift arm tube, so the 3/8” diameter retainer pin is as near the bottom of the V-groove in
the lift pin as possible. This will control the twisting of the roller on the green.
Hydraulic motor spacer (30M-7730) may be required between the endplate and hydraulic motor due to the design of
the motor on the new G-Plex II models. If there is a gap between the motor and the endplate when installing the
motor and contact between these two surfaces cannot be made by hand, then install one spacer to each roller.
DO NOT FORCE THE MOTOR INTO THE END PLATE WITH THE RETAINING NUTS.
