DIVIDER GEARBOX

The Test Plug for the Divider Gearbox is located on the right side of the input shaft. The filler pressure relief
Plug is on top of the Gearbox. FIGURE 4.

CAUTION

Do not over-fill. If Gearboxes are filled above Test Plug Level, pressure under working
conditions may cause the Grease Seals to leak.

Recommended lubricant is a SAE EP85W140T (P/.N 00769031) with EP additives for extreme pressure and
temperature, with a APL-GI-5 Service rating.

DRIVELINES

The Drivelines and U-Joints should be inspected each morning before the Cutter is started. FIGURE 5 & 6.

The U-Joint and CV Joint on the Driveline undergo extreme forces when the unit is turning or when the Wings
are being raised. It is important that the U-Joints and CV Joint be greased each day before the unit is started.
The U-Joints are located at each end of the Center and Wing Drivelines. The CV Joint is located at the end
of the Main Driveline. The U-Joint and CV Joint assemblies are accessible by rotating the Driveline Safety
Shield until the hole in the Shield matches up with the Grease Fitting. Use #2 Bearing Grease for lubrication.
Inspect the U-Joint for wear by holding the shaft on one side of the U-Joint while trying to rotate the shaft on
the other side of the U-Joint. If there is noticeable movement in the Driveline replace the U-joint before it
causes severe damage to the Driveline.,
