ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-3
with the offset side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount, DO NOT
tighten.
Install pump and align so that splined coupling can be moved (FREE PLAY) back and
forth by hand. Rotate coupler and check free play every 1/4 turn. Tighten pump mounting
bolts in succession rechecking for spline coupling free play. Remove the pump mounting
bracket bolts one at a time and apply a thread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in
succession, again checking for free play in the drive shaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end
play on the drive shaft should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand
pressure. If end play is less than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end
play. If there is more than 1/4” of end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer
shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED,
TANK IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! STARTING AT
THIS TIME WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.

ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Raise rear of tractor onto jack-stands.
Follow the instructions in the tractor owners
manual for adjusting tires and rims . The back wheels MUST be adjusted to the widest
setting. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of tractor. Also take
note of any width restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of installation, it is best to
leave the rear wheels removed during installation of the mower.)
(ASM-B-0001)
4WD FRONT TIRE ADJUSTMENT
In order to prevent interference with mounted equipment, the front wheels on a 4WD
5101E tractor will have to be adjusted to approximately 64” center to center distance as
shown below. Please refer to your John Deere Maintenance Manual to see the correct
rim and tire configuration to achieve this. Double check the wheel spacing after
adjustment by oscillating and turning the tires fully to check for any interference.
