ATTACHING ROTARY TILLER TO TRACTOR
1. Move the tractor into position in front of the tiller.
Move back slowly and carefully, not allowing anyone to be between the tractor and the tiller.
2. Turn off tractor engine.
3. Attach the two lower arms of the 3-point hitch with
the two hitch-pin assemblies.
4. Attach the tractor center link to the upper hitch
point of the rotary tiller. Adjust the length of the
center link until the tops of the frame ends are parallel to the ground.
5. Adjust the tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
devices to prevent tiller from swinging side to side
during transport.
6. Attach the front PTO driveline from the rotary tiller
to the tractor. (Slide the front section of the PTO
driveline into the back section. Slide the PTO shaft
onto the rear PTO output of the tractor).
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 driveline, when attached to the tractor
and gearbox, must not extend so there is less than four
inches of overlap within the PTO driveline.

DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
1-1/4"
A
Attach the rotary tiller to the tractor 3-point hitch (or
quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise
and lower the tiller to determine maximum and minimum distance between the 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, the 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 driveline into two halves and connect
them to the tractor and the gearbox.
3. Place driveline halves parallel to one another to
determine how much to shorten the driveline.

WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
1. Raise the tiller off the ground.
2. Level tiller side to side. Check by measuring from
the forward skid shoe pivot to the ground on each
side. (Figure 5)
3. Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.
6. Adjust the skid shoe to the desired tilling depth
(Figure 6). Reinstall the cap screws in the rear of
the skid shoe and tighten all cap screws.
Figure 6. Tiller Depth Adjustment
NOTE: Tillage depth is dependent on ground hard-
ness, tractor speed, skid shoe setting, and tractor
hitch adjustment. Multiple passes may be necessary to achieve tillage depth.
TILLER SIDE SHIFT ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Keep the front of the tiller parallel to the
ground.
4. Place two jack-stands under the tiller rotor shaft.
5. Loosen the 1/2” cap screws that act as the front
pivots to the skid shoes. Remove the 1/2” cap
screws (63) that hold the rear of the skid shoes to
the tiller frame.
12 Operation
Figure 5. Leveling the Tiller
■ Make sure parking stand is secured in the
down position and skid shoes are in hole one
before performing the following service work.
1. Disconnect tiller from tractor.
2. Measure rear tractor tire width (outside to outside).
3. Calculate side shift needed. Divide rear tractor tire
width by two and tiller width by two. Subtract tiller
width from tractor width and add five inches. Check
maximum tiller side shift capability on the specification page of this manual, page 4. The calculated
side shift must be less than the maximum side
shift. (Example: Tractor rear tire width = 70”, TC60
Tiller = 60”. 70/2 = 35”, 60/2 = 30”. 35-30 = 5” + 5”
extra = 10” side shift.
4. Loosen nuts on U-bolts on lower clevis hitch (4), Ubolts on front gearbox stand (2), and bolts at the
back of the gearbox stand (2). See Figures 7 and

OPERATING PROCEDURE
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 operating the tiller. Failure to do
so may result in death, serious personal injury or property 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 9. 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 Slip Clutch Adjustment page 17for 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 clutch in could result in premature driveline failure and warranty will be voided.
NOTE: Tillers equipped with shear bolt driveline
protection do not have clutches. These drives do
not require a run-in procedure prior to operation.
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 normal operating speed of
540 rpm.
6. Move tractor forward. Select a slow tractor speed
and increase slightly until operation is satisfactory.
Rear Shield Adjustment
The rotary tiller tailgate can be adjusted to control 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 finish of the soil will become
more coarse. Raising the tailgate reduces the amount
of recirculation that occurs to the soil inside the tiller
housing. If the soil conditions are very rocky, the tailgate should be run in a raised position so rocks may
pass through the tiller more quickly
(Rev. 6/7/2011)
MAN0813 (3/17/2010)
Operation 13
Page 14
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.
___ Check that all hardware is properly installed and
secured.
___ Check that equipment is properly and securely
attached to tractor.
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Tilling Sod and Untilled Ground
For tearing up untilled sod or conditioning compacted
soils, several shallow passes will be most productive.
Set the skid shoes to one of the two most shallow positions. A gear should be selected on the tractor for a
slow travel speed. Progressive passes can be done at
progressively faster speeds.
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 equivalent to your
deepest roots. Adjust the tailgate to the fully lowered
position. A tractor gear should be selected such that
the tiller does not lug the engine.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety
decal instructions on pages 5 through 9.
___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in
good condition. Replace if damaged.
___ Check that all shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
___ Before starting tractor, check all equipment drive-
line guards for damage and make sure they
rotate freely on all drivelines. Replace any damaged guards. If guards do not rotate freely on
drivelines, repair and replace bearings before
operating.
___ Do not allow riders.
___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking col-
lar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor
PTO spline groove.
___ Keep all bystanders away from equipment work-
ing area.
___ Check all lubrication points and grease as
instructed in the Lubrication Maintenance illustration, page 16.
___ Make sure tractor ROPS or ROPS CAB and seat
belt are in good condition. Keep seat belt
securely fastened during operation.
___ Check to be sure gear lube runs out of the small
check plug on the side of the gearbox.
___ Check the condition of the tiller blades. Replace
any blades that are broken or excessively worn.

3. With the full weight of the tiller on the jack stands,
test blocking stability before working underneath.
4. While the tiller is attached to the tractor, 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 antisway devices to prevent side-to-side movement.
Regular preventive maintenance and immediate repair
of broken or worn parts will ensure maximum efficiency
and long life.
Because of the nature of the jobs the rotary tiller does,
the tiller is constantly vibrating and shaking. Parts may
loosen up as it is used. 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 10 for lubrication points and frequency
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 disulfide) additive for all locations unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. Two
good pumps of most guns is sufficient when the
lubrication schedule is followed.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
The drive chain should be inspected every 50 hours.
New chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary
to check the chain tension to prevent flopping around,
thus causing potential problems. Chain tension is preset with the torsion spring. If the chain becomes excessively loose, it may be necessary to remove one link
(two pitches). If unable to reassemble, add an offset
link to lengthen the chain.
NOTICE
■ Replacement chain should be only high quality
original equipment chain for longer life.
When being stored for a long period or at end of season, change the oil, adding .8 quarts #00 gear fluid,
and rotate the roller several times allowing the chain to
be coated with lubricant, enhancing chain life. Rotate
the roller periodically to maintain lubrication.
PTO DRIVE LINES
Periodically check the yokes on front PTO. Make sure
the bolts and nuts are tight and the yoke is not moving
on the shaft. PTO shafts and U-joints should be sparingly lubricated monthly.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Highest quality bearings are used on the tiller. Only triple-seal bearings are used on the rotor shaft, which
operates down in the dirt. Lubrication of the bearings
will vary considerably with conditions. As a rule, bearings should be under-lubricated rather than over-lubricated. 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 bearing 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 female half. Slide drive halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.
4. Apply one pump of grease to each driveline u-joint
grease fitting.
5. Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic
driveline shield bearings.
6. If using a shear pin drive, lubricate the shear yoke
with grease to prevent galling.
SPROCKETS
Sprockets should be checked to be sure hex bolt is
tight and the sprocket cannot move on the shaft.
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAINTENANCE
GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be
checked quarterly to be sure 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 gear oil
with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or -5 is recommended for use in the
gearbox. Oil should be changed after the first 30 hours
or 30 days of operating. Then, normal change should
be adequate. In the case of seasonal usage, it is best
to change the oil at the end of the season to remove
moisture and corrosive contaminants.

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.
2. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can rotate
freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.
3. Mark outer plates of slip-disc clutch as shown in
Figure 11.
4. Securely attach implement to the tractor and start
the tractor.
5. Engage PTO for several seconds then 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 clutch in step 3 to make 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 setting of 1.25"
compressed spring length.
10. If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates
for excessive wear. They are 1/8" thick when new
and should be replaced after 1/32" of wear to
ensure proper operation.
DRIVELINE SHEAR BOLT REPLACEMENT
■ Always use approved M8 x 50 mm class 8.8
shear bolt as a replacement part. Using a hardened bolt or shear pin may result in damage to
driveline or gearbox.
1. Remove damaged shear bolt from yoke on input
shaft of tiller gearbox.
2. Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft.
Install shear bolt and secure the lock nut.
Cleaning
After Each Use
●Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.

Incorrect
Installation
The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
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 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.
Leakage can occur at the horizontal 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 housing 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 housing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the
seal but will clear the housing. 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 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, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,
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 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.

Input Shaft Repair
1. Disconnect and remove the driveline from the
gearbox.
2. Remove drain plug and drain gear lube from the
gearbox.
6. Remove retaining bolt and washer from the top
sprocket.
7. Release the tension from the chain, Figure 15, and
remove the top sprocket and sleeve from the side
drive shaft.
3. Remove mast plates from the tiller frame.
4. Remove shaft seal. Replace with new seal (see
Seal Installation, page 20).
NOTE: Distortion to seal cage or damage to seal
lip will cause seal to leak.
5. Reinstall drain plug and remove fill plug. Fill
gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the level plug.
Output (Hollow) Shaft Repair
1. Disconnect and remove the driveline from the
gearbox.
2. Remove drain plug and drain gear lube from the
gearbox.
3. Remove the gearbox side drive shield.
4. Remove the drain plug from the chain case to drain
the gear fluid.
5. Remove chain case cover.
8. Loosen the set screw on the side drive shaft
bearing. This bearing is located inboard of the top
sprocket, at the top of the chain case. Use a
hammer and a punch to unlock the locking collar.
This is achieved by putting the point of the punch in
the relief of the collar and drive it in the direction
opposite of normal rotation for the tiller.
9. With the sprocket removed and the locking collar
freed, the side drive shaft can be removed through
the opposite side of the tiller gearbox.
10. The faulty shaft seal can be removed and replaced
with a new seal (refer to Seal Installation, page 20)
11. Follow the instructions 1 through 9 in reverse for
reassembly. Use blue Loctite® on bolts used to
retain sprockets on shafts. Make sure top and
bottom sprockets and chain tensioner are aligned
with each other. Shaft end should be recessed
from sprocket outside face by .03 inches on top
and bottom sprockets.
