Rear Deflector Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Rear deflector (#1) can be adjusted closer to the ground
to produce a fine soil texture or can be raised to produce
a coarse soil texture. Adjust rear deflector by
repositioning chain (#2) in slot “A”.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-4:
The skid shoes can be adjusted to the desired tilling
depth by raising or lowering them as follows:
1. Raise tiller off the ground. Place a support under the
tiller (not under the skid shoes) and lower the tiller
onto the support. Make certain the tiller is secure
resting on the support before working on or around
the tiller.
2. Always place tractor in park, set tractor brakes, shut
tractor engine off, and remove switch key before
dismounting the tractor.
3. Loosen pivot bolt (#4) at the shoe’s front.
4. Remove adjusting bolt (#2) and lock washer (#3) at
the shoe’s rear.
5. Adjust skid shoe (#1) to the desired height.
NOTE:
Tilling depth is the vertical distance from
bottom of skid shoes to bottom of lowest tine. Be
certain both skid shoes are adjusted the same.
