Specifications General Specifications Reel Drive Reduction, Reel to Wheels Reel driven by wheels 75T ring gear to 10T pinion through 14T disengaging idler gear. 7.5:1 Welded Reel Medium carbon steel, induction hardened blades are welded to seven steel spiders which are mounted on a 1–1/2” (38 mm) diameter shaft. Tapered roller bearings support reel shaft, and an adjusting nut compensates for bearing wear. Diameter of 11 blade reel is 7 inches (17.8 cm). 5 and 7 blade reels are 8” inches (20.3 cm).
General Specifications (continued) General Specifications (approx.) Width 41–1/2” (1.054 m) with iron wheels, 45” (1. 1 43 m) with semi–pneumatic tires. Height 16” (0.406 m) or 18” (0.457 m) depending on tires. Weight 11 Blade – 252 lbs. (114 kg) 7 Blade – 248 lbs. (112 kg) 5 Blade – 243 lbs. (110 kg) All with 16” (0.406 m) semi–pneumatic tires (without draw bars). Note: Specifications and design subject to change without notice. Optional Equipment 16” (0.406 m) cast iron wheel Model No. 01336 16” (0.
4. Install drive wheels with capscrews and lockwashers (Fig. 2). Do not try to install wheels over the shipping caps. Setting Up Instructions Remove Mower From Carton 1. Slit four corners of carton so sides lie flat. 2. Remove shipping caps from wheel hubs. Note: Keep the shipping caps. They can be installed on wheel hubs to prevent grinding dust from entering wheel bearing whenever reel is ground. Check Wheel Hubs And Install Wheels Figure 2 1. Rotate wheel hub (Fig. 1) to check bearing adjustment.
Important Check for oil leaks caused by a defective or improperly installed O–ring or gasket, and loose side plate bolts. Make all repairs before adding oil to gear cases. 4. Continue to check for light contact across full length of bedknife using paper. If light contact is not evident, bedknife is not parallel to reel. 4. If level of oil is low, fill gear case to point of overflowing with SAE 80–90 gear lube and reinstall filler plug. DO NOT OVERFILL. 5.
Set Height Of Cut Reel Bearing Adjustment The height of cut is adjustable in approximately 3/32” (2.38 mm) increments by raising or lowering rear roller. If end play is evident in reel or if mower has been disassembled, an adjustment to the reel bearing may be necessary. 1. Loosen capscrews securing adjusting nuts in roller brackets (Fig. 6). 1. Remove (4) four screws securing left wheel to wheel hub and remove wheel. Place wheel under gear case for support. 2.
Operating Instructions 5. Check the reel “carry over” by spinning reel backward again. Reel should rotate one to two complete revolutions. Less than one revolution indicates heavy contact, which means the bedknife and reel must be readjusted for light contact; refer to steps 1, 3 and 4. Adjust Bedknife To Reel For Light Contact 6. At the beginning of the cutting day, when reels are cold, engage the reel throwout knobs (Fig. 7).
mower is equipped with pneumatic tires, pressure must be maintained at 35 psi (241.3 kpa) (Fig. 8). Low tire pressure can cause bedknife to dip into the grass and scalp the turf. An uneven cut will likely result. Figure 9 Note: Rifling is the uneven or wavy condition that develops on bedknife and reel when there is heavy contact between these two parts (Fig. 10). Streaks of uncut grass and an overall poor quality of cut are signs of rifling.
bedknife and reel (Fig. 11). Use a ball peen hammer to straighten any reel blades that may be bent. Since bedknife usually springs away from the reel upon impact, bedknife must be adjusted; refer to Parallel Bedknife to Reel, page 6. Figure 11 Figure 12 Important Do not use high pressure hose to clean areas where there are seals or bearings because foreign matter will likely be forced into the bearing. The result will be rapid seal and bearing deterioration. Grease the mower immediately after cleaning.
If the reel blade edges and bedknife edge are slightly rounded and do not have severe nicks, lapping only with a lapping compound may restore the edges and match. Oftentimes a mower is deemed by users to need grinding when reel bearing adjustment, bedknife adjustment and/or lapping is all that is necessary. Lapping Mowers are set up as follows: Figure 13 1. Remove the right hand wheel. 2. Place wheel under gear case for support. The land area and relief angle of reel blade are pointed out in figure 14.
Mower Servicing Procedure Disassembly Note: If the cutting edges are severely rounded, both sharpening and lapping may be required. 4. Wash off all lapping solution. Using paper, check for sharpness along entire length of each reel blade. If paper cannot be cut cleanly along entire length of each reel blade, continued lapping is necessary. 1. Remove four (4) capscrews securing wheel to wheel hub. Remove wheel from hub. 2. Remove O–ring from inside of hub (Fig. 16). Bedknife Replacement 1.
Figure 18 1. Mounting capscrews 5. Separate cover from gear case and allow oil to drain. Remove cover and discard gear case gasket (Fig. 19). Figure 20 1. Drift pin punch 2. Bearing cups 3. Hub 8. Remove inner cone and O–ring from axle shaft (Fig. 21). Figure 19 1. Gasket 2. Double lip seal 6. Remove double lip seal (Fig. 19) from cover if worn or damaged. The ring gear hub and gear assembly can be removed from axle shaft as soon as gear case cover is removed. 7.
Using a socket wrench, remove ratchet gear stud securing ratchet gear (Fig. 22). Remove left–hand ratchet gear stud by rotating it clockwise. Remove right–hand ratchet gear stud by rotating it counterclockwise. Removal of the ratchet gear stud will free ratchet gear (Fig. 22). Figure 24 1. Splined shaft 12. (Right end) Remove nut securing pinion gear to reel shaft. Insert a pry bar in groove provided and pry off pinion gear. Remove woodruff key from key way in reel shaft (Fig. 25). Figure 22 1.
13. Remove the lower compression spring. Disassemble the ratchet ring from the ratchet gear ring by removing three (3) locknuts and prying equally around the ratchet ring (Fig. 26). Be extremely careful to prevent damage to the mating surfaces. 14. For removal of the throwout handle (Fig. 27), O–ring and finger, drive pin from throwout handle. Remove throwout sleeve by turning counterclockwise. Figure 27 1. Throwout handle Note: When replacing O–ring, sleeve must be removed (Fig. 28).
Figure 29 17. Loosen locknuts allowing removal of Allen head set screws securing bedbar to bedbar retainer (Fig. 30). Figure 31 Note: When reinstalling bedbar to bedbar retainer, center bedbar retainer, tighten setscrews until seated and tighten locknuts. 1. Bearing removal tool, part no. 49–8060 Note: Remove any rust from cross tube shaft to prevent binding. Clean gear case with solvent. If studs have been removed, apply Permatex No. 2 to threads. 22.
Gear Case And Frame Assembly 15. Place O–ring into groove on right hand throwout finger, coat ring with heavy oil or grease, and slide through sideplate, making sure that O–ring does not get damaged. Install throwout sleeve over throwout finger and tighten securely in gear case. 1. Apply Permatex #2 to serrations on drive tube studs and press into gear case. 16. Slide throwout handle over finger and secure in place with drive lock pin. 2.
29. Position right hand and left hand roller adjusting nuts on roller bracket assemblies. Secure in place with capscrews and lockwashers. 5. Remove bearing cones from each end of roller. 30. Press bearing cups in ring gear hub. Assemble bearing cone to left side of stub shaft. Place large ring gear and hub assembly over stub shaft and bearing cone. 7. Remove inner seals by using a seal remover. 6. Remove bearing cups with caution. Roller Assembly 31.
Figure 35 Important After the mower has been completely assembled, perform the following critical adjustments: A. Check Reel Bearings and Mower Fasteners, page 6. B. Set Height–of–Cut, page 7. C. Parallel Bedknife to Reel, page 6. When the adjustments have been completed, move the mower to a turf area and adjust the bedknife to reel (See Adjust Bedknife to Reel For Light Contact, page 8).
