Install Attitude Rods (Figure 23)
Figure 23. Attitude Rods Attached to Wheel Yoke
1. Insert attitude rods (4) through front of center
section frame, out the center of the deck and
through pivot casting in wheel yoke arm assembly.
The rod is a very tight fit; use care to prevent
thread damage during installation.
2. Slide spacers (21) over rods and install washers
(33) and two nuts (34) per rod.
3. Tighten nuts until there is approximately 1 inch of
thread exposed past the nuts. Further adjustment
will be needed once cutter is attached to tractor
drawbar. See Cutting Height Adjustment, page 15.
Install Height Adjustment Cylinder
(Figure 24)
1. Attach base end of cylinder (3) to the cylinder lugs
on the rear of the deck using clevis pin (18) and
two cotter pins (63).
2. Extend cylinder rod and place transport lock
bracket (5) over cylinder rod clevis.
3. Position cylinder rod and transport lock bracket
between lugs on wheel yoke tube and align holes.
4. Secure cylinder rod and transport lock bracket to
the wheel yoke tube using clevis pin (19) and two
cotter pins (63).
5. Install cylinder spacers (6) over cylinder rod as
needed. Spacers are used to set cutting height.
6. Install bushing (24), elbow, (23) and hose (22) to
the base end of cylinder (3).
NOTE: Make sure a breather fitting is installed in
the rod end port of the wheel yoke cylinder.
Optional Ratchet Jack: An optional ratchet (7) is
