CENTER & WING GEARBOXES
The Gearboxes have been filled with lubricant to the Test Plug Level prior to shipment. However, you
should check the oil level at Test Plug before operating, and frequently thereafter.
The gearbox should not require additional lubricant unless the box is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is
recommended that the oil level plug be removed after every 8 to 10 hours of operation and oil added until it
runs out Test Plug hole. The Test Plug on the Center Gearbox, Right & Left Wing Gearbox is located on the
side of the Gearboxes. Filler Plugs are located on top of all Gearboxes. FIGURE 3.
Recommended lubricant is a SAE EP85W14OT (PN 00769031) with EP additives for extreme pressure and
temperature, with a APL-GI-5 Service rating. This tube has a tack agent added so oil sticks to parts when box is
not running. The gearbox capacity is two quarts.
TONGUE
The Tongue Hitch Pins attach the Tongue to the Center Section and should be checked for signs of wear
or cracking. Replace as needed. The Drawbar 1" Bolt fastens the cutter to the tractor Drawbar. When the
cutter is unhitched and this 1" Bolt is removed, examine for signs of cracking or wear. Replace the Drawbar
1" Bolt at first sign of either problem. Attach Safety Chain securely to cutter and tractor.
