MOWER SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES
Mower spindles are equipped with two tapered roller
bearings. The proper adjustment is held by a spring
pin. It is not intended that these bearings be adjusted
during their useful life. When difficulty is experienced
with the mower spindle assembly, time and trouble will
be saved by buying a completely new spindle assem-
bly.
However, if bearings must be adjusted, the spring pin
can be driven out, the sleeve pulled loose, and a
washer shim placed under the sleeve to tighten the
bearings.
SERVICING CUTTING BLADES
Blades are made of heat-treated alloy steel and are
designed to produce the most satisfactory results. For
a good mowing job, always keep blades sharp.
NOTE: On left hand models (L - White Frame) the
blade bolts have left-hand threads.
MODEL 59 MOWER
This mower does not have friction blade clutch. The
bolt which is used to fasten the blade to the mower
spindle shaft has a nylon insert to prevent it from black-
ing out too easily. Do not substitute an ordinary bolt.
When replacing the blade, tighten the bolt tight enough
so that the blade will not slip.
CLEANING
After Each Use
Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.
Periodically or Before Extended Storage
Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.
1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn
safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
of the pressure washer manufacturer.
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.
Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of
missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of
matching color (purchase from your Woods
dealer).
Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable (supplied free by your Woods dealer).
See Safety Decals section for location drawing.
