ASSEMBLY CRANKSHAFT ADAPTER INSTALL Before installing the crankshaft adapter on the JD5075E, loosen (but do not remove) the tractor’s cooling unit fasteners and slide the cooling unit forward as much as possible without removing any attached hoses or cables. The following are the John Deere parts required for the front, crankshaft adapter on the JD5075E: Part Number: Description: Quantity Details:...
Page 32
ASSEMBLY CRANKSHAFT ADAPTER INSTALL, CONT. 1) Remove plastic cover over flywheel access at left, rear of engine, front of flywheel housing. 2) Use Crankshaft Turning tool #JDE83 to turn flywheel in “engine operating direction” (turn tool counter-clockwise when viewing aft into flywheel housing) until timing pin engages timing hole in flywheel.
Page 33
ASSEMBLY CRANKSHAFT ADAPTER INSTALL, CONT. 18) Then install the remaining six (6) Cap Screws. Evenly tighten two (2) Cap Screws 90° from the first two (2) Cap Screws, and torque to 24.3 Ft-Lbs. Always tighten Collet Cap Screws in pairs across from each other. 19) If necessary, repeat the torqueing of the Collet Cap Screws until all are torqued to 24.3 Ft.-Lbs.
Page 35
ASSEMBLY DRIVESHAFT AND FRONT PUMP MOUNTING Install driveshaft into the crankshaft adapter. Slide splined driveshaft coupler onto the pump driveshaft. Install the pump onto the mounting bracket. NOTE: the pump is offset to one direction and the pump should be installed with the offset side on top.
Page 36
ASSEMBLY CABLE CONTROL INSTALLATION The switchbox is attached to the cross member on the front of the cab, to the right of the steering console. Cables are routed to the right of the driver’s seat. See the illustration in the Parts Section for hardware used and more information.
Page 37
ASSEMBLY LEFT AND RIGHT MAINFRAME MOUNTING Position the left and right side frameworks as shown below. Raise up to the matching mounting holes in the tractor and rear axle housing. Install the clamp plate with capscrews, washers and nuts as shown in the Tractor Mount Kit pages of the Parts Section. Apply Loctite to the threads and torque to the values noted in the torque chart located in the Maintenance Section of this manual.
Page 38
ASSEMBLY APPLICATION OF LOCTITE 2047 MOWER MAINFRAME MOUNTING BOLTS All mower mainframe mounting bolts shall be secured utilizing Loctite 2047 and torqued per the Torque Chart in the maintenance section. Shake bottle for 60 seconds before use. To prevent clogging of nozzle, do not allow tip to touch metal surfaces during application.
Page 39
JD5075E tractor has three remote valves available. (ASM-JD-0068) A relief valve is located on the Tiger framework to control hydraulic pressure going to the mower cylinders. More information on hoses and adapters is available in the Parts Section of this manual.
Page 40
ASSEMBLY FENDER CUT FOR WHEEL WELL TANK A notch will have to be cut into the left rear fender to allow room for the hydraulic tank filler neck. The notch should be cut as shown below to allow room for the filler neck and easy visual access to the temperature gauge.
Page 41
ASSEMBLY FILLING HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR Refer to the Maintenance Section for filling specifications and hydraulic oil requirements. NOTE: Starting or running your Tiger mower before filling reservoir will cause serious damage to the hydraulic pump. (ASM-C-0004hydro resrv) WHEEL WELL HYDRAULIC TANK INSTALLATION Install all fittings and tubes into tank and tank filter as shown in the Parts Section illustration.
Page 43
ASSEMBLY DRAFT BEAM INSTALLATION Install ½” O-ring breather into butt port of inboard cylinder. Install fittings in the rod end of the cylinder according to the diagram in the Common Parts section. These fittings should be positioned to face the butt end of the cylinder. The inboard cylinder can now be installed into the main frame mast with the pin, flatwasher and R-clip as shown below.
Page 44
ASSEMBLY MOWER MOUNTING Check that all grease zerks have been installed in the draft beams pivot arm, left linkage arm, right linkage arm, and cylinder mounting ears. Using a clevis pin and roll pins, connect the pivot arm to clevis on draft beam. NOTE: Make sure the longer distance between the cutout and the end of the pivot arm is closest to the draft beam pivot ears on the center tube as shown in the diagram below.
Page 45
ASSEMBLY DECK / MOTOR FEEDLINE Install the 1” hoses from the motor to the solenoid valve. Refer to the Parts Section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this application. Install split hoses around hydraulic hoses where they contact sharp edges, or any other edges that may rub hoses.
Page 46
ASSEMBLY FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION Place operator’s safety and operation decals on the steering column and side console where they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be understood by each operator of the machine in conjunction with the Safety and Operation Sections of this book. The decals are to be maintained in good condition as a reminder to the operator, and should be replaced if damaged.
Page 54
OPERATION 5.1 Connecting the Rear Flail to the Tractor Note: Set the 3-point lift control to “Position Control” so that the lift arms maintain constant height when attaching the mower. See the tractor Operator’s Manual for correct settings when attaching 3- point equipment.
Page 56
OPERATION 6. SETTING THE MOWER NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height which causes the blades to contact the ground.
Page 59
OPERATION Shorten the driveline profiles as follows: Engagement Check Procedure NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must be made aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging the driveline.

OPERATION Tractor PRE-OPERATION Inspection Mower ID#________________ Make ____________________ Date: ________________ Shift ____________________ Before conducting the inspection, make sure the tractor engine is off, all rotation has stopped and the tractor is in park with the parking brake engaged. Make sure the mower is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and all hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
Page 72
OPERATION NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate height, inspected closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again at desired final height.
Page 73
OPERATION 10.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). However, to achieve optimum cut quality, it may be necessary to slow down to 2 mph.
Page 84
Regular maintenance at the intervals mentioned will result in the maximum efficiency and long life of the Tiger Mower. When you purchase a Tiger Mower you also acquire another valuable asset, Tiger’s parts organization. Our rapid and efficient service has guaranteed the customer satisfaction for many years.
