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.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation , transport, maintenan ce
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.

NOTICE
■
If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline and gearbox damage is possible when hooking
up the PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the
tractor. The front PTO driveline is long enough to fit
a variety of tractors. It is possible that the front
PTO driveline will need to be cut. There will be NO
benefit by cutting only one telescoping section.
Both sections of the driveline must be cut. DO NOT
FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.
■
WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE
IS TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or
cross bearing damage.
NOTE: The PTO dri v el i n e, wh en at t ach ed t o t h e tr a ct o r
and gearbox, must not extend so there is less than four
inches of overlap within the PTO driveline.

Figure 1. Park Stand - Operating Position
DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Attach the rotary tiller to the tractor 3-point hitch (or
quick hitch if available). Do not attac h dri ve line. Rai se
and lower the tiller to determine maximum and minimum distance between th e tractor PTO shaft and the
gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the
driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If the
distance is too small, th e driveline may bottom out in
operation and damage the tiller or tractor.
If the driveline is too short, please call your Woods
dealer for a longer driveline.
If the driveline is too long, please follow the instructions
for shortening the driveline.
SHORTENING DRIVELINE
1. Move the tiller up and down to get the shortest pos-
sible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Leave the tiller in the minimum
distance position. Install jack stands under the tiller
for support.
2. Separate the drivel ine in to two h alves an d con nect
them to the tractor and the gearbox.

WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, o r
maintenance.
1. Raise the tiller off the ground.
2. Level tiller side to side. Check by measuring from
the forward skid shoe pivot to th e ground on each
side. (Figure 7)
3. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.
NOTE: Keep the front of the tiller parallel to the
ground.
4. Place two jack-stands under the tiller rotor shaft.
Figure 6. Cut Shaft to Length
MAN1249 (2/28/2018)
Figure 7. Leveling the Tiller
5. Loosen the 1/2” cap screws that act as the front
pivots to the skid shoes. Remove the 1/2” capscrews (46) that hold t he rear of the skid shoes to
the tiller frame.
6. Adjust the skid shoe to the desired tilling depth
(Figure 8). Reinstall the cap screws in the rear of
the skid shoe and tighten all cap screws.
NOTE: Tillage depth is dependent on ground hardness, tractor speed, sk id shoe setting, and tractor
hitch adjustment. Multiple passes may be necessary to achieve tillage depth.
TILLER OFFSET
The RT tillers come with a fixed gea rbox offs et, so tha t
the tiller can cover a tract or width l arger than its width .
The offset is to the right as sitting in the tractor seat. By
tilling in a clockwise rotation, tire tracks can be reduced
or eliminated. Below is a chart which outlines the tractor width that can be paired with a tiller.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNING
WARNING
Only engage power when equipment is at
ground operating level. Always disengage power
when equipment is raised off the ground.
Read and understand the rotary tiller and tractor operator's manuals before o perating the tiller. Failure to do
so may result in d eath, se riou s per sonal inj ury or prop erty damage.
Never raise the tiller more than a few inches off the
ground when traveling from job site to job site.
Shut off the engine, set brake, remove key and remove
seat belt. Dismount the tractor.
Tractor Stability
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without this
weight, front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss of steering. The weight may be attained
with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.
Do not estimate.
Figure 12. Tractor Stability (Typical)
Clutch Run-In
Clutch run-in must be done prior to initial use and
before each season or whenever tiller has been setting
idle for more than two months. See Sl ip Clutch Adjust ment page 19for the run-in procedure.
After you have completed the run-in of the clutch,
return to the operating instructions and proceed with
start-up. Failure to run the c lutch in could r esult in pr emature driveline failure and warranty will be voided.
Start-Up Sequence
1. Start tractor engine.
2. Lower tiller slowly, nearly to the ground.
3. Engage tractor PTO.
4. Lower the tiller completely to the ground.
5. Increase engine rpm to n ormal operating sp eed of
540 rpm.
6. Move tractor forward. Select a sl ow tractor speed
and increase slightly until operation is satisfactory.
Rear Shield Adjustment
The rotary tiller tail gate can be adjusted to cont rol the
tilth of the soil. The finest finish is achieved with the
tailgate at the lowest adjustment. As the tailgate is
raised, or adjusted up, the fini sh of the soil will bec om e
more coarse. Raising the tailgate reduces the amoun t
of recirculation that occurs to the soil inside the tiller
housing. If the soil cond itions are very rocky, the tailgate should be run in a raised po sition so rocks may
pass through the tiller more quickly
NOTICE
■
Do not drop tiller to the ground with the rotor
turning. Sudden high speed jolts multiply stress to
the driveline and can cause extreme damage.
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Tilling Sod and Untilled Ground
For tearing up untilled so d or conditioning compacted
soils, several sha llow passes will be most productive.
Set the skid shoes to one of the two most shallow positions. A gear should be selecte d on the tractor for a
slow travel speed. Progressiv e passes can be done at
progressively faster spee ds .
NOTICE
■
After tilling for the first half hour, check for
loose blades and retighten any loose hardware.
Follow the shutdown procedure and blocking
method before checking blades.
Previously Tilled Ground
To pulverize the topsoil and prepare a good seedbed,
set the skid shoes for a tilling depth equ ivalent to your
deepest roots. Ad just the tailgate to the fully l owered
position. A tractor gear should be selected such that
the tiller does not lug the engine.

disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.
Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
MAN1249 (2/28/2018)
3. With the full weight o f the tiller on the jack stands,
test blocking stability before working underneath.
4. Set the brakes and remove key before working
underneath.
5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
devices to prevent side-to-side movement.
Regular preventiv e maintenanc e and immedi ate repair
of broken or worn parts will ensure maximum efficiency
and long life.
Because of the nature of the job s the rotary till er does,
the tiller is constant ly vibrating and shaking . Parts may
become loose during use. One of the most important
functions an operator can perform is observing and
inspecting the equipment for loose or worn parts to prevent further damage or excessive downtime.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. See Figure 13 for lubric ation points and freq uency
of lubrication based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require
more frequent lubrication.
3. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disul fide) addi tive for all locations unless other wise noted. Be sure to c lean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. Two
good pumps of most guns is sufficient when the
lubrication schedule is followed.
PTO DRIVE LINES
Periodically check the yokes on front PTO . Make sure
the bolts and nuts are tight and the y oke is not moving
on the shaft. PTO shafts and U-joints should be sparingly lubricated monthly.
2. Support rotor shaft with blocking or strap so that
bearing assembly does not support weight of rotor.
3. Remove 1/2” flange lock nuts from bearing c over,
gasket and external snap ring from shaft.
4. End plate may be re moved from frame to repair or
replace bearing assembly by removing top two 1/2”
flange lock nuts and bolts.
5. Replace inside gasket, b earing ass embly, be aring,
internal snap ring, or double lip seal as needed.
6. Install bearing assembly on shaft locking into place
with external snap ring.
7. Install inside gasket and end plate onto bearing
and main frame with top two 1/2” bolts and nuts
and bolts in bearing assembly.
8. Place outside gask et and bearing cover ov er endplate and bolts with 1/2” flange lock nuts tightened
into place.
9. Add grease into bearing cavity so that it is half
filled. (Approximately 40 pumps)
The gearboxes sho uld be checked quarterly to be su re
that the oil level is maintained at half full. Use plug
located halfway up back face of gearbox to check/fill
oil. A high quality gea r oil with a viscosity index of 80W
or 90W and an API serv ice rating of GL-4 or - 5 is recommended for use in the gearboxes. Oil should be
changed after the fir st 30 hours or 30 days of op erating; then checked regularly for leak age. In the case of
seasonal usage, it is be st to change the oil at the en d
of the season to r emove moisture and corrosive contaminants.
Use a 5/16” Allen wrench to remove fill plug.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Lubrication of the bea rings will vary considerably wit h
conditions. As a ru le, bearings should be under-lubricated rather than over-lubrica ted. Over-lubrication can
cause seals to blow out.
NOTICE
■
Replacement bearings should be only high
quality original equipment bearings for longer life.
Install new complete be aring housing if needed or just
replace the bearing insert. The shafts should be
straight, free of burrs, and up to size. If shaft is worn,
replace it prior to completing assembly.
DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every 8 hours of
operation. Failure to maintain proper lubrication
could result in damage to u-joints, gearbox, and
driveline.
2. Lower tiller to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart. Do not
disconnect the halves from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male
half where it meets fe male half. Slide driv e halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.
4. Apply one pump of gr ease to e ach drivel ine u-join t
grease fitting.
5. Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic
driveline shield bearings.
BEARING AND SHAFT SERVICE
1. Place tiller on level, dry surface and block tiller.
2. Loosen nuts on sp rings un til the s prings can r otate
freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.
3. Mark outer plates of slip-disc clutch as shown in
Figure 14.
4. Securely attach implement to the tractor and start
the tractor.
5. Engage PTO for several s econds the n quickly disengage it.
6. Turn tractor off and remove key.
7. The friction lining plates should have "slipped", or
moved. Check the marks placed on the outer
plates of the slip-disc clutc h in step 3 to mak e sure
this is the case.
8. If clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil,
grease and debris. Clean if necessary.
9. Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than
1/8 of a turn at a time until desired compressed
spring length.
10. If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates
for excessive wear. They are 3.0mm (.12") thick for
the RT42.360 and RT48.30 tillers and 3.6mm (.14”)
thick for the RT60.40 and RT72.40 tillers. They
should be replaced when there is only 1.3mm
(.05”) thickness left to ensure proper operation.

Incorrect
Installation
The information in this se ction is wri tten for deale r service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mec han ic s a r e not prope rl y t ra ined i n
this type of repair, you may be time a nd money ahea d
to replace complete assemblies.
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline, raise tiller, lock in transport position, and
block tiller securely. Hydraulic system leak down
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Leakage can occur at the hor izontal gaskets and shaft
seals. These can be repaired without removing the
gearbox from the tiller.
Seal Installation
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improp-
erly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in ho using where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4. Place seal squarely on h ousing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
with an OD that wi ll sit on the outsid e edge of the
seal but will clear the hous ing. Tubing with an OD
that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
5. Carefully press seal into housing, avoiding
distortion to the metal seal cage.
GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Read this entire section before starting any
repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.
1. Fill top gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube
until it runs out the side level plug.
NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, sea ls, and gask ets. Replacin g g ears,
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a complete gearbox is more economical.
2. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be
corrected immediate ly. Bearing failure is indicate d
by excessive noise an d side-to-side or end-play in
gear shafts.
Seal Replacement
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex
®
Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.
