GENERAL INFORMATION  
may be general in nature, due to unknown and varying  
operating conditions. However, through experience  
and these instructions, you should be able to develop  
procedures suitable to your particular situation.  
„ Some illustrations in this manual show the  
equipment with safety shields removed to provide  
a better view. This equipment should never be  
operated with any necessary safety shielding  
removed.  
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-  
rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible  
inline production changes, your machine may vary  
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and  
change the machines as may be necessary without  
notification.  
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating  
and maintaining your mower. Read it carefully. It fur-  
nishes information and instructions that will help you  
achieve years of dependable performance. These  
instructions have been compiled from extensive field  
experience and engineering data. Some information  
Throughout this manual, references are made to right  
and left directions. These are determined by standing  
behind the tractor facing the direction of forward travel.

SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.  
Safety is a primary concern in the design and  
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our  
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped  
out by an operator’s single careless act.  
„ Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
„ Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,  
judgement, and proper training of personnel  
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance  
and storage of equipment.  
„
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  
„ A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a  
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front  
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.  
Do not estimate.  
It has been said “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that  
kind of operator.  
TRAINING  
„ Safety instructions are important! Read all  
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all  
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-  
ment manuals and safety decals are available from  
your dealer.) Failure to follow instructions or safety  
rules can result in serious injury or death.  
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
OPERATION  
„ If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
„ Do not put mower into service unless discharge  
chute is installed and in good condition. Replace if  
damaged.  
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
„
Operators must be instructed in and be capable  
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-  
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to  
operate this equipment without proper instructions.  
„ Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
„ Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
„ Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
„ Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
PREPARATION

equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
„ Always comply with all state and local lighting  
and marking requirements.  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
„ Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.  
„ Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death  
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable  
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.  
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
„ Always sit in power unit seat when operating  
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat  
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,  
and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.

OPERATION  
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of  
the mower. The operator must be properly trained.  
Operators should be familiar with the mower, tractor,  
and all safety practices before starting operation. Read  
the safety rules and safety decals on pages 5 to 8.  
This mower is designed for lawn and grass mowing. It  
is not designed for rough conditions or heavy weed  
mowing. It is equipped with suction type blades for best  
results in lawn mowing.

2. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.  
NOTE: Best mowing results will be obtained with  
front of mower level with or slightly lower than the  
rear.  
TRACTOR TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT  
When the cutting height is set, adjust tractor top link  
until mower top link attachment point A is aligned verti-  
cally with mower hitch pin B.  
3. Control cutting height with tractor 3-point arms and  
front and rear caster wheel adjustment.  
4. Raise rear of mower, move caster adjustment  
spacers under caster arms. Hex opening of blade  
wrench fits bolts on top of caster shaft.  
Adjust tractor top link so mower is level between caster  
wheel and ground (dimension C, Figure 6). This will  
allow the mower to follow ground contour.  
5. Raise front of mower with tractor 3-point arms.  
Move spacers under front caster wheel arms.  
NOTE: Cutting height is the distance between the  
blade and the ground. The blades are 7-3/4" below  
the top of the deck rail on the GM1060 and 8-3/4"  
below the top of the deck rail on the GM1072. To  
check cutting height, place a straight edge along top  
edge of deck rail as shown in Figure 4.

2. Continue running at least two minutes, allowing  
pulleys to cool. Stopping the mower in contact with  
a very hot pulley will bake and ruin belt.  
FRONT CASTER WHEEL INTERFERENCE  
CHECK  
NOTICE  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the terrain, the  
height, and type and density of material to be cut.  
■
Do not operate tractor and mower until this  
interference check has been performed. If you  
change tractors, you must perform the check for  
that mounting.  
Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall  
dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin  
medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground  
speed.  
Perform this check with all of the spacers and springs  
above the caster wheel arm. This will place the caster  
wheels in their highest position and provide the lowest  
cutting height for the mower.  
OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
Raise mower with tractor hydraulics to 16" at dimen-  
sion C or maximum height of tractor lift, whichever is  
less.  
CAUTION  
„ Stop power unit and implement immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Dismount power unit,  
using proper procedure. Inspect and repair any  
damage before resuming operation.  
Pivot both front caster wheels forward and check that  
there is clearance between caster wheels and tractor  
tires. If there is interference, you must not use front  
caster wheels on the mower with this tractor.  
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain  
proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.  
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some  
grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same  
height as the surrounding area. When this occurs,  
reduce your ground speed, but maintain PTO at 540  
rpm. The lower ground speed will permit grass to par-  
tially rebound.  
In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut  
and leave less tire tracks. However, it is better to cut  
grass frequently rather than too short. Short grass  
deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed  
growth during growing seasons. Follow local recom-  
mendations for the suitable cutting height in your area.  
Figure 7. Front Gauge Wheel Interference Check  
OPERATING TIPS  
FRONT ROLLER (OPTIONAL)  
The caster wheels and side skids effectively reduce  
scalping in most cases. However, you may encounter  
areas where the caster wheels and/or side skids drop  
into depressions and allow center of mower to contact  
ground and scalp. An optional front roller may be  
installed to minimize scalping.  
„ Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.

operation. All hardware should be checked regu-  
larly to maintain proper torque. It is a good practice  
to check mower before each operation to ensure all  
hardware is secure.  
Power for operating mower is supplied by tractor PTO.  
Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and  
mower quickly in an emergency.  
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Set mower  
at a higher cutting height for the first pass. Then cut at  
desired height, 90 degrees to the first pass.  
If mower becomes plugged causing belt to slip for over  
two seconds, follow these steps:  
1. Maneuver equipment into a previously cut area and  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
require less power.

Analyze area to be cut to determine the best proce-  
dure. Consider height and type of grass and terrain  
type: hilly, level, or rough.  
2. Collapse driveshaft as far as possible and store it  
in PTO hanger bracket to prevent ground contact.  
3. Place blocks under mower side skids. Lower  
mower onto blocks, disconnect mower from tractor  
3-point hitch, and carefully drive tractor away from  
mower.  
Plan your mowing pattern to travel straight forward  
whenever possible. Mow with uncut grass to the right.  
This will distribute the clippings over the cut area.

OWNER SERVICE  
The information in this section is written for operators  
BLOCKING METHOD  
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,  
your dealer has trained service technicians available.  
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-  
tion in this manual.  
Jackstands, with a load rating of 1,000 pounds or  
more, are the only approved blocking device for this  
mower. A minimum of four jackstands, located under  
the mower as shown in Figure 9, must be installed  
before working underneath this unit. Do not position  
jackstands under wheels, axles, or wheel supports  
because these components can rotate.  
CAUTION  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
Do not work underneath unless it is properly attached  
to tractor (see Operation section), the brakes set, key  
removed, and the mower blocked securely. Tighten  
tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway mechanisms to pre-  
vent side to side movement.  
When blocking, you must consider overall stability of  
the unit. Just placing jackstands under the unit will not  
ensure your safety. The working surface must be level  
and solid to support the weight on the jackstands.  
Ensure jackstands are stable both top and bottom, and  
mower is approximately level. With full mower weight  
lowered on jackstands, test blocking stability before  
working underneath mower.  
„ Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the  
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and  
secured. Never place any part of the body under-  
neath equipment or between moveable parts even  
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic  
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,  
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers  
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-  
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-  
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath  
and blocking requirements or have work done by a  
qualified dealer.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
„ Before working underneath, carefully read Oper-  
ator’s Manual instructions, disconnect driveline,  
raise mower, securely block up all corners with  
jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking  
prevents equipment from dropping due to hydrau-  
lic leak down, hydraulic system failures, or  
mechanical component failures.  
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION  
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,  
particularly when operating in sandy areas.  
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY  
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be  
sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching  
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication  
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient.

Use SAE 80W or 90W gear lube in the gearbox. Fill to  
plug on side of gearbox.  
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use  
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over  
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and  
premature belt failure.  
Check gearbox daily for evidence of leakage at both  
seals and the gasket between the housing and cover. If  
leakage is noted, repair immediately. There may be a  
small amount of lube emitted from the vent plug; this is  
not considered leakage.  
Belt Installation  
Overfilling the gearbox will cause the excess gear lube  
to blow out vent plug and ruin the belt.  
Refer to Figure 11.

Driveshaft Lubrication  
■
Use care when installing or removing belt from  
spring-loaded idler at step 5. Springs store energy  
when extended and, if released suddenly, can  
cause personal injury.  
Lubricate the driveshaft slip joint every 8 operating  
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could  
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveshaft.

Spindle Repair Tips  
„ Before working underneath, read manual  
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.  
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-  
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system  
failure, or mechanical component failure.  
As a reference point, the top of spindle housing is the  
short portion.  
To minimize wear, bearing cups, cones and sleeves are  
press fit to shaft and will require a press or similar  
device for removal.  
„ Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
When disassembling, support housing casting to pre-  
vent damage.  
Remove bearing cups by placing a punch in housing  
slots and drive cup out. Alternate punch positions from  
side to side. Use care to prevent housing damage.  
CAUTION  
Bore-tite® sealant is used on the outer diameter of the  
seals. Substitute seals may not meet original equip-  
ment specifications and could cause leakage.  
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

with top bearing cup.  
14. Carefully press seal into housing, preventing dis-  
tortion to metal seal cage. Seal should seat firmly  
and squarely against machined shoulder in hous-  
ing.  
7. Install sleeve (3) on shaft and press sleeve and  
bearing cone onto shaft until all bearing free play is  
removed and there is a slight drag (similar to  
adjusting the front wheel bearings on an automo-  
bile).  
15. Make sure seal lip did not roll under. Distortion to  
seal cage or damage to seal lip will cause seal to  
leak. Damaged seals must be replaced.  
8. Check by spinning spindle. It should turn freely.  
16. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to top seal (2) and  
install with spring up away from center of housing.  
Top seal should be flush with top of housing.  
9. Be careful not to overtighten bearings. Proper  
bearing adjustment is essential to good bearing  
life.  
17. Lubricate spindle with a lithium grease of #2 con-  
sistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) addi-  
tive. Vent top seal with blunt edged tool, such as a  
letter opener, while filling with grease. Rotate hous-  
ing on spindle shaft, checking for free movement.

GEARBOX REPAIR  
NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing  
bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears, shafts,  
and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a com-  
plete gearbox is more economical.  
Read this entire section before starting any repair.  
Many steps are dependent on each other.  
Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it  
runs out the side level plug.  
Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.  
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be cor-  
rected immediately.  
Bearing failure is indicated by excessive noise and  
side-to-side or end play in gear shafts.  
Seal Replacement  
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Perma-  
tex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.  
Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets  
and shaft seals.  
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be  
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.
