SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
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.  
PREPARATION  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.  
Always tighten to torque chart specifications  
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.  
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.  
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.  
It has been said “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that  
kind of operator.  
Make sure attachment is properly secured,  
adjusted, and in good operating condition.  
TRAINING  
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
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. To locate your nearest dealer, check  
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-  
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules  
can result in serious injury or death.  
Make sure driveline shield tether chains are  
attached to the tractor and equipment as shown in  
this manual. Replace if damaged or broken. Check  
that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline  
before putting equipment into service.  
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 systems in “locked up” position at all times.  
If you do not understand any part of this manual  
and need assistance, see your dealer.  
Know your controls and how to stop engine and  
attachment quickly in an emergency.  
Remove accumulated debris from this equip-  
ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.  
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 instruc-  
tions.  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  
Keep hands and body away from pressurized  
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other  
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.  
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate  
skin and will cause serious injury or death.  
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.  
Make sure that all operating and service person-  
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it  
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by  
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-  
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-  
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID  
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.

belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,  
and ensure all other controls are disengaged  
before starting power unit engine.  
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-  
ation and allows loads or equipment components  
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment  
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,  
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all  
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before  
putting into service or allowing anyone to  
approach the equipment.  
Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.  
Look down and to the rear and make sure area  
is clear before operating in reverse.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.

operation.  
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.  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.

Driveline Attachment  
Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick  
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and  
lower cutter to determine maximum and minimum dis-  
tance 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 distance is too  
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and  
damage the cutter or tractor.  
A
1-9/16"  
Driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least  
1/3 driveline length of engagement during operation.  
There must be at least 4 inches of engagement at the  
cutters lowest possible point of operation. The driveline  
must not bottom out when raised to the maximum  
height possible.  
Figure 2. Determine Shield Length  
5. Cut the shield to the overall dimension.  
If driveline is too short please call your Woods dealer  
for a longer driveline.  
If driveline is too long please follow the instructions for  
shortening the driveline.  
Shorten Driveline  
1. Move cutter up and down to get the shortest

7. Repeat step 6 for the other half of the drive.  
8. File and clean cut ends of both drive halves.  
When using optional check chains, install them in key-  
hole brackets. Count the links between the cutter and  
brackets to be sure you have the same number of links  
on each side. You may twist check chain for fine adjust-  
ment side to side.  
Do not use tractor if proper driveline engagement can-  
not be obtained through these methods.  
Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the  
spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks  
driveline to PTO shaft.  
Cutting Height Adjustment Without  
Tailwheel or Check Chains  
The blade is approximately 9-1/4" below the top of the  
cutter deck.  
NOTICE  
If attaching with quick hitch the distance  
Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".  
between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft  
will increase. Please follow the steps as you would  
for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.  
Use tractor 3-point lift to set front blade 3" above level  
surface (measure 12-1/4" from top of deck to ground).  
At the rear, measure from top of deck to ground; adjust  
top link until this distance is from 12-3/4" to 13". Adjust  
lower stop of the tractor 3-point lift control. When  
adjustment is set, this will enable you to return to the  
preset cutting height.  
Cutting Height Adjustment for MD80  
Mounted Cutter  
Place tractor and cutter on a level surface.  
The adjustments given here are to provide you with a  
starting point. Adjustments are approximate and may  
vary due to slight differences in blade shimming and  
machine wear. You may desire to fine tune them for  
your situation.  
Maintain distance from blade tip to level surface from  
1/2" to 3/4" higher at rear for best cutting results and  
lowest power consumption.  
When using cutter for shredding, it is better to set blade  
tip lower at the rear. How much lower depends on the  
material to be shredded. You will need to experiment to  
determine the best setting for your situation.  
WARNING  
Cutting Height Adjustment With Tailwheel  
or Check Chains  
Keep all persons away from operator control  
area while performing adjustments, service, or  
maintenance.  
The blade is approximately 9-1/4" below the top of the  
cutter deck.  
Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the  
ground with blades produces one of the most dam-  
aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing  
blades to contact ground repeatedly, will cause  
damage to cutter and drive.  
Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".  
Use check chains and tractor 3-point lift and raise top  
front of cutter deck 12-1/4" above the level surface. At  
the rear, measure from top of deck to ground; adjust  
tailwheel until this distance is from 12-3/4" to 13".  
Shorten the check chains to raise front of cutter. Move  
tailwheel adjustment to the rear to raise rear of cutter.  
ATTACHING PULL-TYPE CUTTER TO  
TRACTOR  
The cutter is shipped with a 1-3/8" PTO spline. The  
horizontal distance between the end of the tractor PTO  
shaft and the drawbar hitch point should be 14". This  
distance must not vary more than plus or minus one  
inch ( 1") or the drive may be damaged when turning.  
Adjust tractor drawbar to obtain the desired drawbar to  
hitch point distance. On some tractors, a drawbar kit  
must be used to obtain the required dimension. Check  
with your tractor dealer if you encounter problems.  
Figure 5. Cutting Height Adjustment - MD80  
(Mounted Model)  
Cutting height may be controlled by several methods.  
Without the optional check chains and tailwheel it is  
controlled with the tractor 3-point lift and top link adjust-  
ment.  
Measure from front edge of cutter frame (on each side)  
to ground to be sure cutter is level. Use adjustment on  
3-point arms, if necessary, for fine adjustment side to  
side.  
Raise cutter tongue to tractor drawbar height with jack  
provided and attach with a 3/4" or larger high-strength  
drawbar pin. Retain pin to keep it in place.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST  
(Owner’s Responsibility)  
___ Check that cutter is properly and securely  
attached to tractor.  
Adjust H-frame bearing height to ensure front driveline  
is parallel to ground.  
___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin  
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO  
spline groove.  
Remove parking jack from tongue. Attach to frame rail  
storage with top forward. Always attach jack to tongue  
to hold it up when disconnecting it from tractor.  
___ On pull-type cutter, make sure the pin to prevent  
crank detachment is installed.  
Adjust drive shaft carrier bearing (2), Figure 6, verti-  
cally in H-frame until driveline is as straight as possible  
between tractor PTO and cutter gearbox.  
___ Set tractor PTO at 540 rpm.  
___ Make sure gearbox is full to fill plug with SAE  
90W gear lube.  
Cutting Height Adjustment for D80 Pull-  
Type Cutter  
___ Lubricate all grease fitting locations.  
Place tractor and cutter on a level surface.  
___ Check that all hardware is properly installed and  
secured.  
Cutting height is raised and lowered with height adjust-  
ment crank (3) or optional hydraulic cylinder. Front to  
rear attitude is set with the compression link (1). See  
Figure 6.  
___ Check to ensure blades are sharp and secure  
and cutting edge is positioned to lead in a  
counter-clockwise rotation.  
The blade is approximately 9-1/4" below cutter deck.  
Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".  
___ Check that all shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition.  
___ Check cutting height and attitude adjustment.  
Raise front end of deck with a jack to take the compres-  
sion member (1) out of compression and remove the  
bolt connecting it to the tongue.  
___ Place tractor PTO and transmission in neutral  
before attempting to start engine.  
___ Inspect area to be cut and remove stones,  
branches or other hard objects that might be  
thrown, causing injury or damage.  
Raise front end of deck until both sides are 12-1/4"  
above the ground and block underneath to maintain  
this distance.  
___ Inspect chain shielding and replace any damaged  
or missing links.  
Raise rear end of deck until it is from 13-3/4" to 14"  
above the ground.  
STARTING AND STOPPING CUTTER  
Connect compression member (1) to tongue. It may be  
necessary to raise or lower rear of deck to align hole.  
Cutter operating power is supplied from tractor PTO.  
Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagement and  
disengagement instructions. Always operate PTO at  
540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and cutter quickly in  
case of an emergency.  
Remove the blocks from under the deck and position  
each side skid 1/2" above the ground.  
This complete procedure must be followed to properly  
set a new cutting height. Raising rear of deck with  
crank without changing the compression link position  
will result in an incorrect front-to-rear attitude setting.  
When engaging PTO, the engine rpm should always be  
low. Once engaged and ready to start cutting, raise  
PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain throughout cutting  
operation.  
OPERATING TECHNIQUE  
Proper ground speed will depend upon the height, type  
and density of material to be cut.  
M3866  
Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall  
dense material should be cut at a low speed, while thin  
medium-height material can be cut at a higher ground  
speed.  
1. Compression member  
2. Carrier bearing  
3. Adjustment crank  
Figure 6. Cutting Height Adjustment - D80  
Always operate PTO at 540 rpm; this is necessary to  
maintain proper blade speed and produce a clean cut.

Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some  
material down and prevent it from being cut at the  
same height as the surrounding area. When this  
occurs, reduce tractor ground speed but maintain 540  
rpm PTO speed. The lower speed will permit material  
to at least partially rebound.  
WARNING  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
Under some conditions, material will not rebound  
enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven  
appearance. In general, lower cutting heights give a  
more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.  
Uneven Terrain  
WARNING  
The cutter is equipped with general purpose suction  
blades as standard equipment. These blades are  
intended for most conditions.  
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.  
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-  
denly on slopes.  
Optional flat blades for light brush cutting and optional  
high fin blades for stalk shredding are available from  
your dealer.  
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on  
slopes and rough terrain.  
Tips  
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during  
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Cut mate-  
rial higher the first pass. Then cut at desired height, at  
90° to first pass.  
operation.  
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp  
drops to prevent hanging up tractor and cutter.  
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and  
require less power.  
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough  
terrain.  
Analyze area to be cut to determine best procedure.  
Consider height and type of material and terrain type:  
hilly, level or rough.  
STORAGE  
Follow these steps when storing your cutter:  
1. Store on level, solid ground.  
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever  
possible.  
2. Disconnect driveline and secure up off the ground.  
3. On pull-type model, attach parking jack and raise  
tongue weight off tractor drawbar.  
4. Securely block all four corners of deck with jack  
stands.  
5. Remove hydraulic hoses after tractor is turned off  
and all system pressure is released by operating  
valve levers several times.  
6. Remove retainer pin and high strength drawbar  
pin.  
7. Keep children and bystanders away from storage  
area.

Figure 9. Belt Routing  
Your dealer can supply genuine replacement  
blades. Substitute blades may not meet original  
equipment specifications and may be dangerous.  
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. Always loosen idlers when  
installing belts.  
Blade Installation  
Always replace both blades at the same time to main-  
tain balance.  
The drive on this cutter uses three belts. They are a  
matched set and must be replaced as such.  
Liberally coat blade pin and crossbar hole with Never-  
Seez® or equivalent. Make sure blade is offset away  
from deck and cutting edge is positioned for counter-  
clockwise rotation.  
Remove belt shields.  
Loosen nut on idler adjustment rod (located on right  
side of gearbox stand) as loose as possible.  
Install blade pin (9) up through blade (8) then through  
hole in crossbar and push firmly against crossbar (7).  
Install as many spacers (4, 5 or 6) as possible and still  
be able to slide keyhole plate (3), with ears up as  
shown, into blade pin groove. Place blade pin clip (2)  
over keyhole plate and into blade pin groove. Secure  
with bolt (1). Repeat for opposite blade. See Figure 7.  
Remove old belts and install new ones. Tighten nut on  
idler adjustment rod. Belts should be very tight.  
NOTICE  
Check tension on new belts every half hour the  
first four hours of operation and then every eight  
hours.  
Blade should be snug but swivel on pin without exces-  
sive force. Retain any spacers not used in installation  
for use when blade wears or on future installations.  
CHAIN SHIELDING  
DANGER  
Blade Sharpening  
Always sharpen both blades at the same time to main-  
tain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern. Do not  
sharpen blade to a razor edge. Leave from a 1/16" to  
1/8" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade.  
Full chain shielding, designed to reduce the  
possibility of thrown objects, must be installed  
when operating in populated areas or other areas  
where thrown objects could injure people or dam-  
age property. If this machine is not equipped with  
full chain shielding, operation must be stopped  
when anyone comes within 300 feet.  
Belt Installation  
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper  
installation.  
WARNING  
Before new belts are installed, check pulley shafts and  
bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness  
and wear. Be sure they turn freely and with only slight  
wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth  
Inspect chain, rubber, or steel band shielding  
before each use. Replace if damaged.

CAUTION  
Removing Gearbox from Cutter  
Remove nut from belt tension idler adjustment rod.  
Remove belt shields. Remove belts.  
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.  
The front gear stand bolts are tack welded in place.  
Loosen the nuts to protect bolt threads and break tack  
welds by rapping them with a hammer. Remove nuts  
and bolts.  
The information in this section is written for dealer ser-  
vice personnel. The repair described herein 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.  
Remove nuts from the rear gear stand bolts. Tip rear of  
gear stand up over bolts and slide the stand rearward.  
Cut the safety wire and remove bolt from drive pulley  
under gearbox.  
GEARBOX MAINTENANCE  
Disassemble split taper bushing (located on bottom of  
drive pulley) by removing the three bolts and inserting  
two of them into the threaded holes. Tighten alternately  
to press bushing off.  
Before beginning any gearbox repair, please read this  
entire section. Many steps are dependent on each  
other.  
Remove the four gearbox attaching bolts from the gear  
stand and remove gearbox from stand.  
Always make sure proper vent plug is installed in top of  
gearbox. Proper gear lube level for gearbox is half full.  
Never operate cutter unless gearbox is half full of SAE  
90W gear lube.  
Gearbox Disassembly  
(Refer to illustration on page 45.)  
Troubleshooting is an important part of gearbox main-  
tenance. Check for leakage and bad bearings.  
Remove the horizontal and vertical gear shaft housings  
from gearbox housing. Remove seals. Remove tack  
weld, holding sleeve to shaft, by grinding. Press gear  
and shaft from housing. Remove cups from housing.  
Bearing Check  
Bearing maladjustment or failure is indicated by exces-  
sive noise and noticeable side or end play in gear  
shafts.  
Damage Inspection  
Inspect gears for excessive wear. Some wear is nor-  
mal. Gears will show more wear on loaded side. They  
are forged and surfaces will appear rough, even when  
new. The wear pattern should be smooth.  
Possible Leakage Causes  
Leakage may be caused by an improperly operating  
vent plug. The plug has a check valve in it; remove and  
apply very low pressure air to the bottom to check for  
proper venting.  
Do not replace gears unless deep gouges, chips, deep  
pitting or deep wear grooves are present.

Inspect gear shafts and sleeves. Pay specific attention  
to areas where seals seat. Check for cracks, grooves,  
nicks or bumps. If damage cannot be repaired by resur-  
facing with emery cloth, replace damaged part.  
Gearbox Adjustment  
Place a 1/32" thick gasket between the vertical and  
horizontal housing and gearbox housing. Horizontal  
housing must be positioned so breather hole is at top  
when gearbox is on cutter. Snug bolts and check gear  
mesh by shining a flashlight into the oil fill hole. The  
small ends of the teeth on both gears should be flush  
with each other and there should be some backlash.  
Inspect housings for damage, paying specific attention  
where seals seat. Replace housing if damaged area  
cannot be resurfaced with emery cloth.  
Gearbox Assembly  
If the gear teeth are not aligned, add gaskets under  
one of the gear housings until they do.  
(Refer to illustration on page 45.)  
Bearing cups, cones and sleeves are a press fit.  
Use a feeler gauge to check for .020 backlash between  
the teeth. Adjust by adding or subtracting even num-  
bers of gaskets of the same thickness from each hous-  
ing and the gearbox.  
Press new bearing cups into vertical and horizontal  
housings.  
When all of the bolts are tightened, check the backlash  
again to ensure it did not change. If it is changed, add  
or subtract gaskets as necessary to obtain .020 back-  
lash between the teeth.  
Press bearing cones onto vertical and horizontal shafts  
until they seat against machined surface next to gears.  
Insert shafts into their respective housings and press  
bearing cones onto shaft until all free play is removed  
(similar to adjusting front wheel bearings on an auto-  
mobile).  
BLADE SPINDLE REPAIR  
Remove blades from crossbar and belts from pulley.  
Remove split taper bushing from pulley and remove  
pulley from spindle. Remove spindle from cutter.  
Remove set screw and flanged nut (1) from spindle,  
see Figure 11. Block under washer (9) and housing and  
press blade carrier and spindle shaft out of housing.  
Check adjustment by spinning housing. It should turn  
freely. If bearings are too tight, hold housing and rap  
gear shaft with lead or brass hammer. Readjust bear-  
ings. Proper bearing adjustment is essential to good  
bearing life. Do not leave bearings adjusted too tight.  
Bearings should turn freely without any noticeable end  
play.  
Assembly  
Press new cups (6) into spindle housing, seating them  
against housing bore shoulder, see Figure 11.  
Place O-ring seal over shaft and seat against bearing.  
Press sleeve on shaft and down against bearing, but  
do not move bearing. Check bearing adjustment again  
by spinning housing. Readjust if necessary. Protect  
surfaces where seal seats and tack weld sleeve to  
shaft.  
Place bottom end of spindle housing (18) up. Set bear-  
ing cone and sleeve (5) on cup.  
Coat area of spindle housing where seal seats with  
Permatex. Press seal (4) (with spring-loaded lip toward  
the center) into housing, using care to prevent seal  
cage distortion.  
Seal Installation  
Place washer (9) on spindle crossbar and shaft.  
Remove bearing cones from housing.  
An improperly installed seal will leak and could result in  
gearbox failure.  
Clean area in housing where outer diameter of seal  
seats and apply a thin coat of Permatex.  
Lubricate bottom seal, turn housing right side up and  
press down onto spindle shaft.  
Fill housing cavity with a lithium grease of #2 consis-  
tency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive.  
Lubricate seal lip, position spring toward housing, and  
carefully guide over sleeve and shaft, using a blunt tool  
such as a letter opener. Use care to prevent seal lip  
from rolling under. Do not use a knife blade as it will  
nick and ruin seal.  
Place washer (7) over shaft and seat. Seat bearing  
cone and sleeve (5) on bearing cup, see Figure 11.  
Adjust bearings by pressing on shaft until all free play  
is removed (similar to adjusting front wheel bearings on  
an automobile).  
Select a piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will set  
on outside edge of seal cage but will clear housing. A  
driver that is too small will bow cage and ruin seal.  
Check adjustment by spinning housing; it should turn  
freely. If bearings are too tight, hold housing and rap  
spindle shaft with a lead hammer. Readjust bearings.  
Carefully press seal into housing, preventing distortion  
to metal seal cage. Seat seal firmly against housing.

yokes sharply with a hammer to relieve any ten-  
sion. Repeat until both yokes move in all directions  
without restriction.  
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate  
tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or  
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an  
increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.  
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.  
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an exten-  
sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side  
— not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety  
cage if available.  
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-  
aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.  
Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the  
tire inflated.
