 SETTINGUP MOWER FOR OPERATION , I
PRUIING HYDRAULICS

Ensure shipping stop has been removed from the tongue jack
cylinder.
Connect both hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulics; do not hitch
tongue to tractor.
Operate tractor hydraulics and extend the centre axle cylinder
sufficiently to remove transport clamp and fully back off
adjustable stop.
Fully raise skids -- release all tension from tongue jack and
disconnect transport latch.
Operate tractor hydraulics until both cylinders are fully closed
- drawbar will rise as tongue cylinder closes up.
Hold hydraulics in-this position for a few moments. Hith control
valve fully open and tongue cylinder fully closed, oil will be
forced through internal valve in tongue cylinder into top of
centre cylinder. (See ria2',}
Open both cylinders momentarily then repeat the above proced"re.

NOTE: The above mentioned procedure of ope.ning anc, closing cylinders

should be repeated until the piston movement of both cylinders is
synchronised.

Fully cycle hydraUlic system and recheck that cylinders are

synchronised.
Recommended operating hydraulic pressure - 1800 psi (12.4 mPa).

HITCHING No\-lER TO TRACTOR

Connect as per ASAE tractor. hitch (Fig. 3 ). Lock drm,bar in

central position. (Preferred drawbar height 16" - 17" [450mm
430mm]). See ",\so f,:'l 4-.
\ Connect tongue, hydraulic hoses and PTO shaft to tractor.
Align PTO and secure'hoses.
Locate tongue in appropriate field work position._ (See Fig. 5).

Page 111
 Disconnect transport latch.
Set skids to desired cutting height (12-15mm) on level ground.
NOTE: Skids should be set approx 12mm LOHER at REAR to achieve
correct rotor tilt.
Adjust centre ram adjustable stop until cutting platform is
slightly raised at rear.
Adjust tongue jack to achieve correct flotation (20-35kg)
measured at front edge of cutting platform.

NOTE: With correctly primed hydraulics and properly adjusted flotation,

platform should be level when raised.

NOTE: Where difficulty to achieve satisfactory flotation is~

encountered, perhaps due to low tractor drawbar or because a~high

cutting height is required, or simply due to torsion bar fatigue,

shift the torsion lever to the upper pair of holes and adjust the
torsion bar anchor for~maximum,twist.

P.T.O. SPEED
Always maintain 540 r.p.m. on the tractor P.T.O. shaft. Slower P.T.O. speed will result in ragged I

cutting and excessive power consumption. Higher speed may produce excessive crop laceration.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE TRACTOR P.T.O. SHAFT BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR'
SEAT. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE THE ROTARY HAY MOWER OR TO STAND NEAR THE
MACHINE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.

TIPPING BEARING ADJUSTMENT

The height of the tipping bearing support can be adjusted to eight positions to ensure correct
P.T.O. shaft alignment on various tractors. The tipping bearing should be adjusted so that the drive line
is as straight as possible when the machine is in the operating position.

After altering the height of the tipping bearing support, make sure the nut on the adjusting bolt is
firmly tightened and check that the upper and lower supports are 'free to turn on their pivots. Ensure that
the rear P.T.O. shaft can telescope freely.

MOWER SUSPENSION ,
The front of the main platform is suspended by a torsion bar and lever suspension system to
provide flotation over uneven ground. •

TORSION BAR LATCH

To allow the torsion bar to function correctly during normal operation, the spring loaded latch must
be in the disengaged position (Figure :.
The only time the latch should be engaged is when the mower is being transported.

I
Page 13
TORSION BAR ADJUSTMENT (Figure irA)
(
To check the torsion bar adjustment, hitch the mower to the tractor and ensure the transport fink is
in the disengaged position.
Raise the mower so th.at it is approximately 152 mm from the ground and front and rear height is
equal.
Bounce the mower to settle the suspension and check dimension 'H' (Figure ~'::'i from the top of the
platform to the centre of the jack mounting bolt which should be 257 mm to 270 mm.

To adjust the torsion bar, slacken off the locknut and screw the adjusting bolt down to raise the
mower platform or up to lower the mower platform.
When adjustment is complete, tighten the locknut, bounce the mower and recheck dimension 'H'.

 OPERATION AND FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
HEIGHT CONTROL (Figure b)
The Mower hydraulic lift system is designed to operate on a mimimum tractor hydraulic pressure of
126,5 bar.

Front height is altered by means of a double acting cylinder fitted to tongue screw jack and rear
height is controlled by a double acting cylinder connected to the axle.

The two cylinders operate simultaneously to provide a parallel lifting action to raise the mower
from 13-158 mm for operation and to a maximum height of 375 mm for transportation.

The axle cylinder is fitted with an adjustable stop to allow the mower to be lowered to a pre-set
position. This enables the correct relationship between blades and the ground to be maintained at all
times.

To adjust the stop, screw out until desired cutting height is achieved when the axle cylinder is fully
retracted against the stop and secure with the locknut.

The relationship between the front and rear height of the mower can be regulated with the tongue
screw jack. .

CUTTING HEIGHT
Con;ect cutting height is achieved when the mower is set up so that the blade tips are 13 to 25 mm
higher at the rear than the f r o n t . . .

When the rear sweep of the blades drags on the cut stubble the power requirement increases
greatly. If the rear of the mower is too high an uneven stubble height will result.

Page 15\
 SKID ADJUSTMENT (Figure7)
The full length steel skids fitted to each side of the ,main platform can be adjusted to contact the (,
ground for all cutting heights from 13 mm to 158 mm. The skids are flanged to eliminate any tendency
to dig in on corners.
To adjust the skids, raise the mower to the desired cutting height and lower each skid evenly until it
is just clearing the ground. Then use the tongue screw jack to lower the mower until the skids settle on
the ground.
When the adjustment is correct the front of the skids should be bearing lightly on the ground and
the rear clearing by approximately 13 mm. .
CAUTION: IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SKIDS CONTACT THE GROI.JND AT ALL TIMES DURING
OPERATION.

EXWJS!ON SKtO .

TRANSPORTING THE MOWER

>
The spring loaded torsion bar latch, (Figure 9) engages into a telescoping transport link. When
engaged, the latch locks the link and stops the torsion bar from operating. The mower may then be
transported over rollgh ground without it pitching excessively.
The safety clamp, (Figureq';), should be fitted to the axle cylinder to hold the mower in a raised ,
position in case of hydraulic leakage or to enable the mower to be towed by a vehicle not fitted with a '
hydraulic lifting device.
When the clamp is not in use it can be stored on the mower by placing it over the torsion bar and \
. fitting the bolt and nut to secure it in position,

Page 16 \

WINDROW SHIELDS (Figure 6)
The mower is fitted with two windrow shields which are adjustable for varying crop conditions.
Each shield is fitted with a flexible flap to ensure a clean windrow by preventing any cut hay from
passing under the shield. .

The windrow shield on each side is provided with two front pivot points and five locating holes in
the rear edge of the main frame. A single nut and clamp is used on each shield for simple adjustment.

Slacken nuts at the front pivot points when changing rear position of windrow shields. Ensure that
the locating pin on the windrow shield is correctly seated in the rear locating hole.

INSTALLING THE BLADES (FigureIO)
CAUTION: DON'T OPERATE THE MACHINE WITH DAMAGED BLADES AS THIS CAUSES THE
ROTORS TO BECOME UNBALANCED AND WILL RESULT IN UNDUE VIBRATION.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY BLADE ADJUSTMENT MAKE SURE THE TRACTOR ENGINE IS SWITCHED
OFF AND THE P.T.O. DISENGAGED.

INSTALL SAFETY CLAMP ON AXLE CYLINDER.

A slot is provided in each end of the blade and in each arm of the rotor (Figure 8). The blade is
attached to the rotor by means of the case-hardened blilde pin which'is shaped to enable it to pass
through the blade and rotor slots. The flat spring bolted to the top of each rotor arm locks the pin in
position.

To remove the blades, the spring is levered up with a screwdriver, the blade pin is turned 90° using
the special spanner supplied and pushed back to align with the slot in the rotor. Push the blade in to
align the slot with the rotor slot and remove the blade pin.

To install the blades, reverse the above procedure and ensure that the flat spring is properly seated
behind the head of the blade pin.

After the mower has been oper.ating for some time grass or other foreign matter will lodge in the
rotor arm behind the blade. It is, therefore, necessary to clean this area thoroughly to avoid difficulty in
pushing the blade in to align the slots when removing the blade pin.

NOTE: DULL CUTTING EDGES GREATLY INCREASE POWER REQUIREMENTS; FOR BEST RESULTS

'
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR MOWER BLADES HAVE A SHARP, CLEAN CUTTING EDGE.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING SLIP CLUTCH (Fig. 11)
All mowers with shear bolt and pin protection incorporate a heavy
duty slip clutch which should be checked in the followng manner
prior to each season.
Dismantle clutch and examine discs, plates and bushing. Replace
parts as required.
Thoroughly clean with wire brush, all friction components of
accumulated rust, dust, etc.
If discs are contaminated with grease, clean with suitable
solvent. In extreme cases, replace discs.
Re-assemble clutch and adjust spring tension evenly.
Examine drive pin - if wear is evident or if the pin is the
superseded type, replace it with No 190548 pin assembly.
place measured bar through PTO yoke adjacent to clutch.
Apply measured force on bar and slip clutch - clutch should slip
when a force of 6,800-7,200 ins/lbs is applied. (Nax 44.7kw 60
PTO hp).

NOTE: 1001bs applied 72" from the clutch centre equals 7,20() ins/lb~~

Adjust tension springs ev·enly and in small increments when

nearing the prescribed tension.
Always service the slip clutch if an excess shearbolt failure
problem is encountered. Clutch should operate at skin
temperature.

Fig. 11 Page 19
 TINING ROTORS FOLLOWING SHEARPIN BREAKAGE (Fig. 12)

Rotate the left-hand rotor until a rotor projection is pointing

due left and at the same time, the block on the right-hand
connecting shaft and pin hole is located in the centre of the
right-hand access opening.
Insert special spanner through opening and over block. This will
hold left-hand rotor in position.
Rotate right-hand rotor until the rotor is also pointing left and
·the pin holes in both shafts. are perfectly aligned •.
Install and secure shear pin No 170543.

NOTE: Rotors may require several rotations before achieving correct

timed positions - allow for slack in drive line.

Recheck timing by attempting to manually· force blades from

opposing rotors to touch. If blades touch, timing is incorrect.

RE-ASSE~ffiLY OF ROTOR GEARBOXES
With dial indicator, measure distance inner core of upper bearing
cone No 156326 protrudes through bearing cup No 39937. Compare
measurement with dimension .077 and calculate the difference.
Add differential to number stamped on outer periphery of box,
adjacent to centre stud in side plate. Total figure represents
the thickness of shims to be installed between the bearing cup
and housing. This 'exercise ensures that pinion penetration will
be correct.
Install the required thickness of shims into housing.
Install bearing cup and cone onto pinion shaft and secure with
circlip.
Install spacer and lower.bearing cone onto pinion shaft. If
machined ends of spacer are worn or uneven, replace spacer.
Install pinion shaft, bearings, circlip, spacer, etc., into
housing.
Drive pinion and bearing cup firmly home against shims with piece
of pipe 16" long x 3-3/8" LD.
Ins tall lower bearing cup to end cap.
Install end cap, with new seal, together with sufficient shims to
obtain correct bearing pre-load.
Bearings should be pre-loaded to 16-20 pounds pull when end cap
hardware is tightened to 30-40 ft./1bs. with seal in place.

NOTE Seals and bearings should be lightly oiled, not greased, and
shaft revolved prior to taking reading.•

If bearing pre-load is incorrect, add or subtract end cap shims

as required.

NOTE: On early type gearboxes equipped with 5/16" hardware, tighten to.
20 ft.f1bs. and shim as required to obtain correct bearing
pre-load. With pre-10~d correct, remove studs, cleanse them of
all traces of oil, add loctite to the threads and allow to air
for a few minutes. Re-install and re-tighten to 20 ft./1bs •.

Install gear onto input shaft with' (0) mark on gear in line with
(centre pop) mark on shaft •. Seat gear firmly against circlip.
Install both bearing cones - one up against the gear, the other
flush against shoulder of the shaft.
,
Page 29;
 RE-ASSEHBLY OF ROTOR GEARBOXES (continued •••• )

Face marked pinion spline of both boxes towards the left of the
machine.

NOTE: Remember that both boxes actually face each other when assembled
into machine.

Install centre input shafl: and gear with timing mark facing, down
towards floor.
Install right-hand input shaft and gear with timing mark facing
upwards.

NOTE: If new input shaft bearings are required, replace cups'in housing
and side plate but re-install original thickness shims.

Install side plate complete with originai thickness shims and

evenly tighten ha,dware to 30-40 ft-flbs •• taking care not to jam
gear and pinion in the process.
Bearing pre-load should now read 35-45 pounds 'pull total - with
seals in place.
Add or subtract shims under side plate as required to decrease or
increase pre-load.
Check backlash between gear and pinion. Backlash should not
exceed .003 or be less than .002 and should be gauged at lip of
pinhole in input shaft.
If backlash is incorrect, remove side plate, together with shaft,
gear and bearings.
Remove bearing cup No 156325 from back of gearbox housing, and add
or subtract shims as required to adjust gear backlash.
Adding shims increases backlash - subtracting ?hims decreases
backlash.
Re-install bearing cup No 156325 firmly into recess against
shims.
Re-install shaft, gear, bearings and side plate into housing,
making sure shaft is in the timed position.

I
age 301
NOTE Re-adjustment of pre-loading shims will probably be necessary to
compensate for the re-positioned bearing cup.

Re-checkbacklash.
Replace seals as required. Install 156300 and 28246 seals with
lips towards ,inside of gearbox.

NOTE Servicing procedure for the main (left-hand) drive gearbox is

similar to the rotor boxes but differs in the following
settings:-

(1) Gear and pinion do not require timing.

(2) Pinion shaft bearing should be pre-loaded to a maximum of
4-1/21bs pull ·without seals.
(3) Input shaft bearings should be pre-loaded to a maximum of
14-1/21bs pull - on the input shaft - with seals in place.

CAUTION:
With such low pre-load it is necessary to take great care to
exclude all bearing end float.

(4) Backlash between gears should range from .003 - .009.

INSTALLING AND THIING ROTOR GEARBOXES

N~ke sure surface of gearbox flange and mounting area is clean

and free of all irregularities, before ins.talling boxes.
Install both boxes with side plates facing each other. Slightly
tighten bolts.
Install all connecting shafts and align gearboxes with the aid of
stay bolts and part number 170511 shims, so as unpinned shafts
will turn freely by hand. DO NOT install drive or shear pins.
Tighten bolts to 200 ft./lbs.
Face timing marks on both rotor pinions towards the left.
Face timing mark on centre box input shaft downwards.
Face timing mark on right-hand input shaft upwards.

Secure connecting shafts to centre gearbox with two (2) Part No

190548 drive pin assemblies. Secure connecting shaft to
right-hand box with Part No 170543 shear pin. Secure connecting
shaft to left-hand box with part No 170674 shear bolt.

Install No 157001 rotor shield loosely to housing.

Locate timing marks as previously described - pinion marks facing
left - centre input shaft mark facing down - right-hand input
shaft·mark facing upwards. Refer Fig.'s 12 & 16 for correct
timing procedure.

NOTE: One spline in splined hub of rotor aligns with the centre li1)e of
one rotor projection. Chisel mark 01) underside of rotor to
easily identify spline.

Position rotor immediately below the pinion shaft with the marked
spline and rotor projection facing left.
Lift rotor and marry the marked rotor spline to the marked pinion
spline.
Install and tighten flat washer and nyloc nut to 400 ft.fIbs.
Tie rotors together with piece of chain to facilitate tightening.

I;
 Install and tighten bolts securing rotor shield, making sure
shield does not rub on housing.
Re-install top cover after first making sure that all tools have
been removed from housing, all hardware is tight and platform is
level.
Tighten cover hardware securely - 3/8" bolts, 30-40 ft.flbs.
Early type 5/16" bolts, 15-20 ft./lbs.
Lubricate rotor boxes with 3 pints of SAE 90 gear oil. Left hand
()eight angle) gearbox )eequires 1-1/2 pints of sAE 90 gea)e oil.

 ROTOR PULLER I
A simple puller can be fabricated from a piece of 3/8" thick plate 6" in
diameter, a No 156500 bolt and No 87313 nut. Cut hole in centre of plate
large enough to accept bolt. Weld nut flat against plate and over hole.
Install bolt. Drill 3 holes· of • .Y.~" diameter on a radius 2-1/4" from the
centre of the plate and equally spaced. Use 3 x 2"x 7/16" bolts and
nuts.

ROTOR REHOVAL
If removing a rotor use a 1-1/2" A/F socket with a 3/4" drive bar. A
puller is also required as the rotor is fitted to a tapered spline. To
mount the puller remove the rotor hub shield attaching hardware ·and raise
the shield. . Attach the. puller to the 3-10mm diameter in the rotor.

'When re-fitting the rotor tighten the attaching nut to 542 Nm.

1 mm = 0.03937008 inches

To convert mil' meters to inches the millimeter value to be converted should be written down,
carried to as many decimal places as the desired accuracy requires. It should then be split up into
groups of not more than two figures each. The equivalent of each group should then be taken
from the table, proper regard being given to the position of the decimal point in each case, and
the equivalent of the several groups found by addition. This sum win be the inch equivalent
of the millimeter value given.

For example to convert 75.384 millimeters to inches:

75.000 millimeters = 2.9527559 inches

0.380 millimeters = 0.0149606 inches
0.004 millimeters = 0.0001574 inches
75.384 millime.ters = 2.9678739 inches
Correct to five decimal places.
75.384 millimeters = 2.96787 inches

1 inch = 25.4 millimeters

To convert inches to millimeters, the inch value to be converted should be written down, carried
to as many decimal places as the desired accuracy requires. It should then be split into groups
of nolmore than twofrgures each. The equivalent of each group should then be taken from the
table, proper regard being given to the position of the decimal point in each case, and the equi-
valent of the inch value given. ' ,

For example, to convert 2.4635 inches to millimeters:

2.0000 inches = 50.80000 millimeters

.4600 inches = 11.68400
.0035 inches = .08890
\
2.4635 inches = 62.57290 millimeters
Correct to three decimal places.
2.4635 inches = 62.573 millimeters

HODEL 96 ROTARY HAY HOWER

P/N 190548 DRIVE PIN

He have received several reports concerning premature failures of

P/N 190548 drive pin located in the Hodel 96 drive line.'

Our investigation has revealed failures are attributed to a sharp

burr located around the drive pin locating holes in both drive
shafts P/N 170540. This eventually cuts away both the washer and
roll pin allowing the pin to either dislodge from the shafts or
fail.

Should you experience this type of failure, we recommend you carry

out the following fix.

1. Remove the gear box main cover.

CAUTION: Before removing the cover, ensure the machine is

·situated on level ground and resting on both skids.

2. Rework each drive shaft P/N 170540 by grinding a flat surface

across each drive pin hole on both sides of the shaft, as per
the attached diagram.

NOTE: Haximum depth not to exceed 1.5nnn and 30mm diameter.

3. Lubricate all components and rill the cavity of both drive

shafts P/N 170540 w:lth either graphite or wheel bearing
grease.

4. Reinstall drive shafts with new drive pin kit PiN 190548.
However, we suggest deleting the thin washers ;from th" kit and
\ installing thicker ,washer P/N 87364 under each roll pin.
 5. Thread a retaining wire through the centre of each roll pin
forming a tied loop around the shaft to retain the pin in a
central position.

6. Reinstall gearbox top cover ensuring you tighten the hardware

evenly:

SHIPP!NG SPACER

He also remind all field personnel starting new machines not to

overlook the removal of a shipping spacer located on the lower
portion of the tongue jack cylinder rod. Failure to discard this
shipping spacer will render the hydraulics inoperative.

MODEL 96 ROTARY HAY MOWER

Vie have received several reports concerning slow response of the

model 96 Rotary Hay Mower hydraulic system. In each instance it has been
found the poor response, or slow lift, has. resulted fxom the unit opexating
behind a tractor incapable of producing the recommended hydxa·ulicpressure
of 1,BOOpounds per square inch.

As pointed out at this year's Branch Service Schools any drop in

hydraulic pressure will be accompanied by a corresponding drop in the lifting
I
speed of the model 96. Therefore when operating below the recommended pressure
of 1,BOO p.s.l. allowances should be made for the slower lift.

In addition you are advised that the drive pins Part No. 170546
fitted to the drive line of the model 96 will in future carry the same
part number as the clutch retaining pin Part No. 190325. As ixom (l1achine I
serial number M640 the pins will be retained by two 3/16" roll pins Part i
No. 118B27 in piace of the l/B" split pins previously· used. . ,I
The drive pin assembly which will include one drive pin and two
roll pins can be ordered from service parts underPart No. 190486. !
Shear bolt Part No. 170674 and shear pin part No. 170543 are
I
unchanged.

Please amend your parts books accordingly.

TO ALL DEALERS AND FIELD STAFF MACHINE: 96 Rotary Hay Mower

A number of improvements have been introduced on the Model 96 Rotary Hay Mower
from Serial Number A96L0260. These include lock tabs on the rotor gearbox
mounting bolts (the rubber gasket has been discontinued), new type skids supplied
loose which can be fitted over the skids on the unit- when neces-sary, and grade 5
studs on thEi pinion housing on the two rotor gearboxes.

There have been some ihstances of rotor gearbox failure which it has been found
are a direct result of loose hardware. In particular, the pinion bearing housing . I
studs. To prevent further failures we are- shipping under separate cover, sufficient I'

Grade 5 studs (Part Number 88543) and Loctite (Part Number 92114) for fitting to r
all machines shipped to you prior to Serial Number A96L0260. There have been a I
few random machines fitted with Cirade 5 studs,priorto this serial number, but it .-, I
is imperative that all machines prior to A96L0260 be checked and changed when "
necessary. - Prompt immediate action is· required to change these studs on both neVi a.,u,
used machines prior to the above serial number. Fitting ·instructions are attached. ' i
,I
During field observations of the performance of the Model 96 it has been noted that
many operators are oVer-tightening the P. T.0. slip clutch and operating the unit
at excessively high groundspeeds. .
i,
!
Please check these points with operators at all start ups, and when the changeover
of studs is being carried out. Make sure every opex-ator reads his Operators
Manual.

The Model 96 is a winner! Keep it that way by ensuring operators keep hardware
tight, keep the blades sharp, and keep ground speed around 6 to 7 m.p.h.
