DESCRIPTION

The Model MC400 Tree Farm Mower is designed to fit the 420 tractor equipped with standard tires or

optional 20 X 8.00-10 turf type tires. The mower is easy to attach and detach in a minute or less allowing

interchange with many other front mounted attachments. Cutting height is controlled by the front caster

wheel. Exceptional visibility and maneuvering is possible with this front mounted design mower. Shielded

tractor wheels keep the unit from damaging the lower branches of young trees or shrubs. Two mowing

blades discharge grass to the rear and enable the mower to cut tall grass. This is an ideal unit for mowing

between closely spaced rows of trees or shrubbery.

TREE FARM

MOWER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove mower from crate.

2. Remove top shield and remove bag of small fastener parts. Separate according to size.

3. If optional 20 X 8.00-10 turf-type tires are being used, move each wheel hub in toward the center of the

tractor a distance of 3/4 inch or a total distance of 1-1/2 inches from the end of the axle. Mount optional

tires in the usual manner.

4. Remove the drive pulley shield and install drive belt Part No. 81-A040. Replace shield. Attach the

mower to the tractor quick-hitch front lift in the usual manner.

5. Fill gearbox to 1/8" pipe plug on front of gearbox with 80/90 gear oil.

6. To install front skirts - Mount directly on deck mounts using a 3/8 x 3/4 flange bolt and nut at the front.

When using standard tires, fasten skirts to rear of mower at desired height with 2" spacers and 5/16 X

2-3/4 bolts and nuts on each side. If optional 20 x 8.00-10 tires are used, fasten skirts to rear of mower

at desired height using two 5/16 X 3/4 bolts and nuts on each side. (See Parts Figure 3)

7. To install rear wheel skirts - Remove front and rear fenders saving the bolts and nuts. Replace the

fenders with the skirts using the same bolts and nuts. Two sets of mounting holes are provided. One

set is for narrow setting with the 20 x 8.00-10 turf-type tires. The other set of holes is for use with

standard bar type tires. (See Photo 5 and Parts Figure 4) Install support brackets from parts package

to tread plate using the same bolts which fastened the fenders to tread plate. Attach brackets to skirts

with 1/4 x 3/4 flange bolts and nuts.

8. Do not use both bar tires and turf tires at the same time. This is important because the tires are not the

same size and the rolling radius is different. Different size tires could cause premature failure of the

transaxles.

4. Release idler assembly to facilitate easy installation of the drive belt.

5. Put belt over drive pulleys and engage idler assembly.

6. Set mower to desired cutting height by moving the 3 clevis pins at the 3 attaching points of the support

frame. See photos below for front and rear height adjustment.

7. Start engine and engage PTO slowly to prevent shock load on mower components.

8. Mow with front lift lever in “FLOAT” position only.

MOWER OPERATION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

- Set mower cutting height. See Installation Page 6.

- Mow with front lift lever in “FLOAT” position only.

- Engage PTO slowly at low engine r.p.m.

- Mower is designed to operate at full throttle for heavy mowing, but 3/4 throttle is adequate for average

conditions.

- Set mower blade speed with the throttle and control ground speed with the Forward - Reverse control

lever.

- Trimming can be done along either side of the mower deck. Wheel shields keep the unit from

damaging the lower branches of young trees.

- Use extreme caution when operating on hills.

- A roll bar is recommended.

- Mow up and down hills whenever possible.

- A rear weight bar with 2 weights is recommended.

Observe all Safety Decals.

Keep all Shields in place.

Do not operate mower with other persons in the area. Irregularities in

ground surface can permit foreign material to be propelled from

beneath deck to cause serious injury or death.

Before leaving tractor, move Forward - Reverse control to neutral

position, disengage PTO, set parking brake, lower mower deck and

stop engine.

Remove key from ignition if maintenance procedures are to be

performed or tractor is to be left unattended.

The mower deck is enclosed on all sides to prevent foreign material

from being propelled from beneath deck toward operator or

bystanders. Keep all shields in place!

MOWER

SERVICE

MAINTENANCE

Daily maintenance:

Visual inspection for loose parts and accumulation of grass and dirt.

Clean accumulation of grass clippings from beneath deck daily for better mowing performance.

Keep blades sharp. Check the tips of the blades for wear.

25 hour maintenance:

In addition to daily maintenance, grease caster, slip yoke and all bearings.

Remove top shield and grease spindle bearings. Grease the spindle bearings beneath the deck also.

Do not overgrease.

Check gearbox oil level, fill to 1/8" pipe plug on front of gearbox with 80/90 gear oil.

Annual Maintenance:

In addition to daily and 25 hour maintenance, check the drive belts for cracks or wear. Rotate each

spindle to check for roughness which would indicate bearing wear. Remove and sharpen blades, clean

and wash deck prior to storage. The acid in grass clippings causes premature corrosion and rusting of

mower parts.

ADJUSTMENTS

Sharpening blades:

Be careful while sharpening blades that the corners of the blade do not become rounded at the tips. This

reduces the blades overlap and will cause skipping. While sharpening, it is essential to ensure the balance

of the blades is maintained to prevent vibration. Blade bolt torque should be 75-85 foot pounds. Rotate

blades after re-installing to check for bent or bowed blades and blade alignment.

Blade alignment:

When installing sharpened blades or new blades be sure the mating surfaces are clean and the retaining

washer is not bent. Check for bent blades by rotating blades until tips are near each other.

Leveling mower deck:

The front to rear and side to side leveling adjustment is provided by 3 clevis pins.

Example for low cutting: If rear pins are in the top hole, the front pin will be in the bottom hole.

If the rear pins are moved down one hole, the front pins will be moved up one hole.
