10. Remove the protective covers from the cutting units and
the reel drive motor shafts.
Note: Retain the protective covers for the cutting units.
Install them whenever the reel drive motors are removed to
protect the cutting unit bearings from contamination.
11. Coat the spline shaft of the motor with clean grease and
install the motor by rotating the motor clockwise so the
motor flanges clear the studs. Rotate the motor
counterclockwise until the flanges are encircling the
studs and tighten the mounting capscrews (Fig. 20).
12. Using a hand pump grease gun, fill the cavity at the end
of the cutting unit with #2 general purpose grease.

Adjusting the Transport Height

Check the transport height (Fig. 21) and adjust, if required,
as follows:
1. Position the tractor on a level surface.
2. Verify that the distance from the top of the carrier frame
adjusting screw (Fig. 21) and the back of the carrier
frame is 7/8 in. (22 mm).
3. Loosen the transport plate mounting screws (Fig. 21).
4. Raise the cutting units to the transport position.
Important Do not raise the suspension to the transport
position when the reel motors are in the holders in the
traction unit frame. Damage to the motors or hoses could
result.
5. Ensure each carrier frame is at the same height from the
ground. If they are, proceed to step 7.
6. If the carrier frames are not at the same height, loosen
the jam nut on the carrier frame adjusting screw
(Fig. 21). Rotate the screw outward to raise and inward
to lower. Tighten the jam nut after the proper height is
obtained.
