IMPORTANT: Do not use 1/2" extension on end of
reel drive shaft when loosening or tightening
drive shaft. The 1/2" hex is intended for backlap-
ping only.
E. Position the pry bar in the same manner on the
opposite end of the reel and use the appropriate
wrench or socket on the 1" hex portion of the shaft to
loosen the reel drive shaft.
F. Tip the cutting unit back onto its rollers.
5. Remove the bedbar pivot bolt and washers from the
RH side plate. Note location of plastic and steel washers
for assembly purposes (see Bedbar Removal in this
section).
6. Loosen fasteners that secure front and rear rollers to
RH side plate (see Front Roller Removal and Rear Roll-
er Removal in this section).
7. Support cutting reel to prevent it from shifting or fal-
ling.
8. Remove shoulder bolts (item 4) and flange nuts (item
5) that secure the RH side plate to the cutting unit cross-
member. Remove the RH side plate from the reel shaft,
rollers, bedbar and cutting unit crossmember. Remove
pitch arm (item 7) and compression spring (item 3) from
RH side plate.
9. Carefully slide the cutting reel assembly (with
flocked seals, reel bearings, bearing lock screw and reel
drive shaft) from the LH side plate. Locate and remove
flat wire spring (item 14).
Reel Assembly Installation (Fig. 27)
1. Thoroughly clean side plates and other cutting unit
components. Inspect side plates and pitch arms for
wear or damage and replace components if needed.
2. Make sure that flocked seals, reel bearings, bearing
lock screw and reel drive shaft are properly positioned
on cutting reel (see Reel Assembly Service in this sec-
tion).
CAUTION
Contact with the reel, bedknife or other cutting
unit parts can result in personal injury. Use
heavy gloves when installing the cutting reel.

3. Position the cutting unit on a flat work area. The roll-
ers, bedbar and cutting unit crossmember should be at-
tached to LH side plate. Make sure that pitch arm (item
15) and compression spring (item 3) is fitted to LH side
plate.
4. Place flat wire spring into bearing bore of LH side

flocked seals, reel bearings, bearing lock screw and reel
drive shaft) into the LH side plate. Make sure that bear-
ing is fully seated into side plate.
5. Carefully slide the RH side plate with pitch arm (item
7) and compression spring (item 3) onto the cutting reel
assembly, front roller and rear roller. Make sure that side
plate is fully seated onto bearing on reel shaft.
6. Install shoulder bolts (item 4) and flange nuts (item
5) to secure the RH side plates to the crossmember.
Torque the shoulder bolts from 210 to 240 in- lb (24 to
27 N- m).
7. Secure front and rear rollers to RH side plate (see
Front Roller Installation and Rear Roller Installation in

bearing lock screw and the reel drive shaft (Fig. 29).
A. Insert a long- handled pry bar (3/8 x 12 inch with a
screwdriver handle recommended) through the front
of the cutting unit. The pry bar should pass between
the top of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel
blades so that the reel will not move (Fig. 31).
