3-Point Hitch Adjustments
Refer to Figure 3-1:
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been
designed for front to back flotation when mowing on
uneven terrain. On the two wheel mower with fixed lower
hitch pins and the four wheel mower with floating lower
hitches in a mid position, adjust the tractor’s top link to
place the upper hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch
pins as shown below.
Leveling the Mower
1. Set the lower hitches and upper floating hitch as
shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Start tractor and raise mower, watching that tractor
draw bar (if not removed) does not interfere with
mower.
3. Slowly lower the mower until gauge wheels touch the
ground and the lower mower 3-point hitch bars are
parallel to the ground in floating position. Set tractor 3-
point stop.
4. Set park brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from
ignition.
5. Adjust the tractor top link in or out to place the upper
hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch pin asto allow
mower flotation.
6. Rotate blades parallel to direction of travel.
7. Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the
ground at front and rear of the blade. This
measurement should be equal or have the blade at
the front of the mower not more than 1/2" lower than
the blade at the rear of the mower.
Cutting Height Adjustment
!
CAUTION
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and
disengage PTO before making any height adjustment!
Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and
support under it with secure blocking so not to let the
mower drift down during maintenance.
Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick-lock
pin from top of gauge wheel spindle. Position full length
spacers and half spacer as required. All spacers on top of
spindle tube allows for approximately 1" cutting height.
Adjustments range from 1" to a maximum of 4" in 1/2"
increments. Refer to "Leveling the Mower" beginning on
this page.
