MAINTENANCE
Tractor Shaft
-Constant Velocity Body: 60 pumps every 50 hours
-Cross Journals: 4-8 pumps every 50 hours
Lubricate until grease purges from underneath all four needle bearing caps
Shield Retaining Bearings: 1 pumps every 50 hours.
-Telescoping Tubes: 5-8 pumps every 50 hours
Occasionally (monthly) pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the shaft. At least
once per year (more often in dusty or dirty conditions) the shielding should be removed and the old grease
wiped from the shaft. Do not use an alcohol or acid based solvent to remove the grease. A fresh coat of grease
should be applied to the entire surface of the inner tube.
If sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where the two halves cannot slip
freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
- Rapid fit yoke: Every two days
