MAINTENANCE
Spindle Housing
Fill with EP#2 Lithium Based Grease until grease is expelled from grease relief.
IMPORTANT: Make sure spindle housing is equipped with a vented breather plug. If breather plug is clogged
or a pipe plug is installed, grease will be forced past the seal. Refer to Spindle Housing disassembly and
assembly instructions if necessary (page 5-13)
Speed Changer
Oil in the speed changer should be maintained up to the level plug located about 1/3 of the way up on either
side of the speed changer. use an SAE EP 90 wt. oil.
Chain Guard Bolts
These bolts fasten the chain guards to the frame. If a chain guard came off and was mowed over, serious
damage could result to the chain guard, blades, or drive train. See Image Mnt-R-0232.
Pins
Many of the pins on the Falcon are made of high strength steel. Always replace pins with genuine Alamo
Group parts. Substitute pins may not have the proper strength.
1. Tongue Clevis Bolt - This bolt holds the tongue clevis in the tongue, and adjusts the tongue clevis spring
tension to hold the tongue clevis in a horizontal position for connecting the tractor to the mower. Inspect this
bolt weekly for any signs of bending or abnormal wear. Replace if needed.
2. Tongue Bolts - These pins fasten the tongue to the machine frame. Inspect these bolts weekly and make
sure they are not excessively worn or loose. If one of these bolts failed, the tongue and suspension system
could be seriously damaged.
