REPLACING DRIVE BEARING HOUSING

6.

Remove the capscrews holding the motor to the drive bearing housing, and remove the motor,

setting it into a clean container to help prevent any contaminants from entering the hydraulic

system. Check motor O-ring for damage and replace if required.

7.

Remove the hex nuts securing the drive bearing housing to the cutter deck and install new

housing using the existing hardware. Torque to specification. See Bolt Torque Specifications

8.

Remove plugs from top of housing and fill with a mild extreme pressure lubricant

API-GL-5, No. 80 or 90 weight gear lubricant. Replace plugs.

9.

Install the motor assembly and O-ring onto the drive bearing housing using the existing

hardware.

10.

Re-install motor cover using existing hardware and torque to specification. See Bolt Torque

Specifications.

11.

Re-attach the hoist to the push bar and slowly lift the rotary cutter and place it upside down.

NOTE: 

Be prepared for possible shifting of the rotary cutter as it is clears the ground.

Block the cutter to ensure it is completely stable before proceeding.

12.

Attach the hoist to the blade carrier assembly and set it into place aligning the holes on the blade

carrier to the ones on the bearing housing.

(NOTE: The blade carrier weighs approximately 400 lbs.)

13.

Reinstall the eight 5/8” capscrews securing the drive bearing housing to the blade carrier.

Torque to specification. See Bolt Torque Specifications

14.

Attach the hoist onto the push bar and set the unit back onto the skid shoes.

Follow the installation procedure for attaching the unit onto your prime mover.
