Lift-Type Mower - To disconnect the mower, first
extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove
tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is
loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the
mower. Next remove both lower hitch pins.
Pull-Type Mower - To disconnect the mower, first
relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control
lever back and forth several times. Lower the
parking jack and raise the mower until the tongue
clevis in no longer resting on the tractor drawbar
and is supported solely by the jack. Make sure that
the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or
supported by a block. Then remove the hitch bolt,
locknut, and washers. If a hydraulic cylinder was
used, remove its hose end from the tractor port and
secure it to the mower to prevent contact with dirt.
After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the
mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the
driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the
driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall
into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing
and shorten the life of the driveline. OPS-R-0031_A
