INTRODUCTION

CONTENTS
This manual contains repair instructions for major trac-
tor components, attachments and options. The Table of

This manual is to be used in conjunction with the Oper-
ator’s Manual and Parts Catalog.
Normal maintenance, adjustment, and operating proce-
dures are also covered in the user Operator’s Manual

not consider yourself or your repair facilities capable
of a given procedure, please consult your dealer or
distributor.
Information, specifications, illustrations, and procedures
in this manual are based on information in effect at the
time this manual was published. Improvements and
product changes due to continual advancements of the
product design may cause changes to your product
that may not be included in this manual. Each manual
is reviewed and updated as required to include changes
and product improvements.
Read each section completely before proceeding with
specific repairs in that section. You will minimize errors
by understanding what you will be doing and how the
component relates to others in its system. Lists of
repair tools and materials for each section of the man-
ual are given at the start of that section.
The designations L.H. (left hand) and R.H. (right hand)
used throughout this manual refer to the operator’s left
or right when sitting in the normal operating position.

GENERAL CLEANING
Improper cleaning and lubrication of your machine
results in many equipment failures. Before any repairs
are undertaken, thoroughly clean the exterior of the
component to be removed.
Use a clean surface to lay out parts being removed.
Keep lubricants clean and cover containers not being
used. Plug or cap all hydraulic lines and ports to hy-
draulic components immediately after disconnecting.
SAFETY
Safety should always be the rule when working on or
with machinery. Always use safe practices and com-
mon sense when using hand or power tools. Use the
suggested procedures in this manual when working
with the tractor.
Throughout this manual signal words will be used to
highlight special procedures. The signal words and
their meaning are as follows:
NOTE
Any procedure needing special care when per-
forming a procedure.
Decals on the machine denote cautions, warnings and
dangers. These cautions, warnings and danger decals
must be on the machine at all times. If they become
worn, torn or painted over, new decals should be in-
stalled as shown in Section 14 of this manual.
TORQUE VALUES
Torque values are given in the following “Torque Speci-
fication Chart”. Special torque values are called out on
illustrations and text throughout this manual.

! CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result
in personal injury or product or property damage.
! WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result
in severe personal injury or death.
! DANGER
Imminent hazards which will result in severe per-
sonal injury or death if precautions are not taken.
! CAUTION
Disconnect leads at alternator before electric
welding is done on components in common
ground with engine.
! DANGER
This machine is equipped with an interlock sys-
tem which is intended to protect the operator
and others from injury, by preventing the engine
from starting, unless the reel switch is in the “Off”
position, traction pedal is in the “Neutral” position
and the brake set. The system also shuts off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat with the
reel switch in “Cut” position. In the interest of safe
operating conditions, this machine must never be
operated with the interlock relays or interlock sys-
tem disconnected or malfunctioning.
