Tractor Hookup
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Back the tractor up to the tongue until holes in draw-
bar and cutter hitch are aligned. Raise or lower tongue
jack to correct height.
2. Attach cutter with 1" hitch pin and secure with lock pin.
Always use a pin that contains a safety locking device
to prevent it from falling out.
3. Lower tongue jack until weight of cutter is fully re-
moved from jack, then remove the jack. Store the jack
on the left hand wing deck. A storage base is located
near the front edge of the wing.
4. Attach safety chain on tongue hitch to tractor. Adjust
chain length to remove all slack except what is neces-
sary to permit turning of the cutter. Lock hook securely
on chain.
Refer to Figure 1-6:
5. The PTO shaft from the tractor may be a constant ve-
locity type or conventional. Attach the 1 3/4-20 splined
end to the input side of the power divider gearbox. At-
tach end with the quick disconnect to the tractor.
NOTE: Each pair of outlets on your tractor can only
operate one remote cylinder. All three cylinders on
the cutter are single action (one-way) type cylinders
and should not be plumbed for two-way operation.
6. Secure chain on PTO around cutter tongue to restrict
outer shield of PTO from rotating.
7. PTO should now be moved back and forth to insure
that it is secured on the shaft of the tractor and power
divider input shaft on the cutter.
8. Should the PTO shaft require shortening:
a. Hold the half shafts next to each other in the short-
est working position and mark them.

shields of each PTO shield and to an anchor ring on
the cutter deck or hitch
