Page 14: Welding & Grinding Work Precautions
Inspect tires daily for wear or damage. Check tire pressures weekly with an accurate pressure gauge. Do not inflate tires beyond 35 psi. Mounting and dismounting tires from rims can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools, equipment and procedures. WELDING AND GRINDING WORK PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT! A fire extinguisher should be easily accessible during all welding work. -
Page 15: Safety Chains

Page 21: Assembly Instructions
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS; TD65 MOWERS 1) Some assembly is necessary prior to pre-delivery inspection and delivery to the customer. 2) The TD65 requires rear deck to be lifted from the frame assembly. Secure the deck with lifting straps over the forks of a lift truck. 3) Lift the deck away and install the front castor wheels. -
Page 22: Operation Of The Mower
OPERATING THE MOWER A careful and knowledgeable operator is the best insurance against an accident. Allow no riders on any equipment. If tractor is equipped with R.O.P.S., use the seat belt for maximum protection. Make sure that everyone is clear of the tractor and mower before starting the engine or operating. -
Page 23: Hitching Mower To Tractor
HITCHING MOWER TO TRACTOR Attach mower to drawbar only. A & C MODELS ONLY Drawbar should be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the center line of the draw pin hole to end of PTO shaft. This is critical for proper PTO shaft operation. -
Page 24: Leveling The Mower & Pto
LEVELLING THE MOWER & PTO For proper mower operation and maximum PTO life, the mower hitch and PTO driveline must be setup correctly. a) When the mower is connected to the tractor, the mower hitch frame “A”, should be as close to level with the ground as possible. b) The connecting hitch “B”... -
Page 25: Installing Pto Shafts
INSTALLING PTO SHAFTS The three identical PTO shafts are used to drive the mower decks. Each PTO shaft will have one end designated a tractor end. This end should be hooked up to the main gearbox. The PTO shafts from the two wing decks must be timed when mounted to the gearbox. -
Page 26: Checking Pto Length During Turns
CHECK PTO LENGTH DURING TURNS During the mowing operation the tractor should be able to make turns without damage to the driveline. To ensure proper setup, check the following conditions: a) With the tractor and mower aligned, and the input PTO straight, turn the shields on the input PTO to check that the holes line up for greasing the input shaft tubes. -
Page 27: Cutting Height Adjustment
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Mower cutting height adjustment is made by removing lynch pin from the top of each castor stem (square or round) and corner support and moving the spacers either above or below support tube as required for your selected cutting height. -

LUBRICATION A properly maintained lubrication schedule will provide a smooth running machine for many years. All pivot locations have grease fittings. The following information shows and describes where all lubrication points are located. DECKS P.T.O. SHAFTS FRAME 8 Pivot Locations* Main Input*(See Spindles* (See Manual) -
Page 30: Gearbox Oil Level
GEARBOX OIL LEVELS IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERFILL! MOWER MUST BE LEVEL WHEN CHECKING GEARBOX OIL LEVEL DECK GEARBOXES: Gearboxes all have an oil level plug located on the side of the gearbox. Oil should reach the bottom of this hole. If oil level is low, add oil through top plug hole of casing until oil just starts to flow out of side oil level hole. -
Page 31: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Turn tractor engine off before performing any maintenance. Always use personal protection devices such as eye and ear protectors when performing maintenance functions. When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields are installed before placing mower in service. BLADE SERVICING Be sure safety locks are in place when working on decks in the raised position. -
Page 32: Blade Removal & Installation
BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Two, 1/2” X 1 3/4” grade 5 bolts with lockwashers and nuts hold blade to blade spindle support bar. When changing blades, be sure that these fasteners are in good condition so they will not come loose during operation. BLADE SHARPENING IMPORTANT - When sharpening blades be sure to balance them. -
Page 33: Spindle Inspection
SPINDLE INSPECTION Spindles are equipped with two roller ball bearings. Adjustment is set by tightening the 1” left hand nut to 60 ft-lbs. torque for proper setting. Periodically inspect blade spindles by grasping blade, and moving from side to side. -
Page 34: Assembly Of Spindles
ASSEMBLY OF SPINDLE Only use a press that has the ram and bed 100% square to each other. If bearings are not square in housing, bearings will wear out prematurely. Press on outer race when inserting into hub and press on inner race when installing on spindle. -
Page 35: V" Belt Adjustment
“V” BELT ADJUSTMENT Begin by loosening 4 bolts at the base of the gearbox. Adjusting long threaded bolt slides the gearbox back, tightening belt. After proper tension is achieved, tighten 4 bolts at base of gearbox. You may have to place a ½” nut under the head of the long threaded bolt to increase your adjustment length. -
Page 36: Hydraulics
HYDRAULICS: The hydraulic system on your Progressive mower is a simple cylinder system used to raise and lower the cutting decks into position. Each cylinder contains a .035 diameter restrictor orifice, which is located on the rod end to slow the speed of travel. -

- Page 72 See diagrams below on page. If your Progressive Mower has an intermediate shaft with shielding as seen in "Diagram 2B", the parts breakdown listing for the inner yoke found in your machine parts book is incorrect. Part #521721 (Yoke - Outer Tube) must be changed to Part #521721.50 (Yoke - Inner Tube).
