Tailwheel Assembly
(Asm-0050) To assemble the Mower’s TailWheel, follow the procedures listed below.
NOTE: Certain steps may have been performed by the manufacturer before delivery.
1. To attach the tailwheel assembly (2) to the
tailwheel beam (1), place a 1-1/2” flat washer
(16) on the tailwheel assembly shaft. Insert the
shaft, starting at the bottom of the tailwheel
beam weldment (end opposite of brace and
grease fitting), completely through tailwheel
beam weldment hole and bushings. Place
another 1-1/2” flat washer (16) onto shaft top.
Insert retaining pin (17) through shaft above
washer (16) to retain tailwheel assembly (2) to
support beam (1).
2. One side at a time, align the bottom holes of the
left and right tailwheel beam support brackets
(3 and 4) with mower deck rear center holes.
Position the brackets with the long sides facing
one another. For each support bracket, place a
1/2” flat washer (13) on two 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts.
From inside the deck, insert the bolt ends
through the deck and support bracket holes.
Install a 1/2” locknut (15) onto each bolt to
secure the support bracket to the mower deck.
Do not completely tighten bolts and nuts at this
time. Repeat procedure for other side bracket.
3. Place tailwheel positioning bracket (5) onto
tailwheel beam with bracket holes to the
bottom. Side the bracket to opposite end of
beam.
4. Place bushing (6) into tailwheel beam (1) end
holes. Position tailwheel beam end between
set of upright lugs behind mower gearbox.
Align holes of lugs, tailwheel beam (1), and
bushing (6) and retain with a 5/8” x 5” bolt (8)
and 5/8” locknut (12). Do not tighten at this
time.
5. Pull tailwheel positioning bracket (5) against
support brackets (3 and 4) and align holes of
positioning bracket and support bracket at
desired tailwheel height. Insert 1/2” x 1-1/2”
bolts (7) through each side of support bracket
and positioning bracket of selected hole setting.
Place 1/2” lockwasher (10) and nut (11) on bolt
to secure brackets in position.
NOTE: The rear deck height is set by raising or lowering the tailwheel beam to the desired height. Raise
the positioning bracket on the support brackets to reduce the height of cut, lower the positioning bracket to
increase the height.
6. Tighten all bolts, lockwashers, and nuts to their recommended torque
