ASSEMBLY
FRONT CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
Solution:
1. Clean nose of crankshaft using TY16285 clean and cure primer.
2. Apply a light 2-3 mm bead of TY15969 retaining compound around the leading edge
of the crankshaft nose.
3. Dip damper mounting caps crew in clean SAE30 engine oil (Always use a new cap
screw)
4. Position damper/pulley on the crankshaft and thread cap screw up tight (do not rely
on the cap screw to pull the pulley straight onto the taper)
5. Tighten cap screw to specification 500Nm (369lb-ft) (the engine will most likely
have to be pinned)
6. Measure run-out on the pulley, spec is 0.003” or less
PARTS REQUIRED TO PURCHASE FROM JOHN DEERE:
Pulley from JD – R516320
Washer from JD – R517237
Bolt from JD – R516648
Torque on the pulley bolt with locktite is 369 lb-ft.*
John Deere has changed to a new tier two engine on all 6000 series tractors. With
the change, Tiger has found that the front crankshaft pulley used by JD will not allow for the
installation of a front drive system. With the change on the 6X15 and 6X20 series tractors,
you will need to order a different pulley, washer and bolt from John Deere to allow for a front
drive to be installed on your tractor.
Inspect the front pulley on your tractor to verify you have the correct pulley needed to
mount the spacer plate. If your pulley has the (4) four holes needed to mount the spacer,
your pulley is the correct one needed. If your pulley does not have the (4) four holes in the
pulley, you will need to order the correct pulley, washer and bolt from John Deere.

CABLE CONTROL LEVER STAND
On the corner cab post, mark a point at 1-3/8” from the windshield and 22 ½” from
thefloor;thencut a ¾”diameter holethrough theouter plastic shell. Thiswill exposea threaded
steel boss to attach the control box support bracket.
The rear corner of the cable control stand is
placed approximately 5 ¾” from the edge of the mat.
The front edge of the stand is up against the corner
cab post and the door sill lip of the mat. Before you
mark or drill any holes, check for support plates or
wires under the mat & the cab floor. NOTE: Cutting
into plates or wires makes more work for everyone
and could be dangerous. When you know where the
wires/plates lie, mark one of the mounting holes. Drill
a 3/8” hole through the mat and through the floor of
the cab. Next, lift the mat up and mark the other two
holes on the cab floor. Drill the holes through the
floor. Mark the mat and drill the other two 3/8” holes.
Use a 1” hole saw and cut a 1” hole through the mat
over each 3/8” hole. Secure the stand to the floor with the spacers, capscrews and nylock
nuts provided.
Cut a 1 ¾” hole in the floor to route the cables and wires through. It needs to have a
¼” clearance for the trim lock. Before you mark or drill any holes, check for support plates
or wires under the cab floor.
NOTE: Cutting into plates or wires makes more work
for everyone and could be dangerous. Look under the
floor for cables and plates that you need to avoid. The
hole should be approximately 4 ½” from the door sill
and 4 ¾” from the lip of the mat under the console.
Install the trim lock around the metal edges of the hole,
then route the control cables and wires through the
hole. Next, wrap the cables with the 6” split hose at
the point they pass through the hole, and secure the zip-ties. Apply RTV sealer in and
around individual cables and split hose, inside and outside of the cab for a water tight seal.
Install upper support bracket from cab post to the control lever stand.

console panel under the steering wheel to access tractor wires. Locate the brown
colored wire. Using a test light or meter to verify this wire is the neutral safety
wire. Cut the brown wire and connect the green wires from the switch box as shown
in the wiring diagram.
To run the white wire to the solenoid valve, you will need to drill a hole in the front
edge of the cab floor on the right side of the front console. Insert a rubber grommet
into the hole to protect the wire, and route the wire out of the cab.
The red wire is to be hooked to the tractor ignition switch or an available slot in the
fuse box. NOTE: Be certain that the power taken for the switch box is “HOT”
only when the tractor ignition is “ON”. Also double check that the line is
fused.
The travel lock red wire from the switch box should also run with the white wire
through the rubber grommet and be covered with wire wrap. This wire will be
connected to the electronic travel lock located on the main boom cylinder. The wires
from the switch box are longer than needed and should carefully cut and spliced as
required. Zip ties should be used to secure the wires to the tractor framework and
boom hoses to eliminate vibation and rubbing.
WIRE ACCESS FOR SWITCH BOX (CABLE)
Refer to the parts section for wiring diagrams. Remove right side cowl panel,
tach panel, and hour meter panel for access to the wires.

HUSCO CONTROL VALVES IDENTIFICATION
Manual, cable controlled (Husco control valve) boom mowers require check valves
with integral restricting orifice (#06502036) installed in the control valve work ports that
are connected to the gland ends of the main and secondary boom cylinders. This
check valve allows oil to free flow into the gland end of the main and secondary boom
cylinders, but restricts flow out of the cylinder, thereby providing proper boom control.
This check valve, #06502036(Vendor #1968R-.063) is similar in appearance to hose
adapter #33271 and Adapter #34396, with.06 orifice. These components can be
identified as follows, and are to be installed per parts section for the lift valve.

the four wires (1-white / 2-green & blue / 1-red) from the on / off terminal of the switch
box with plastic wire wrap provided. Run these wires through the drilled hole in the
right side panel of the steering column on next page.
With the panel under the steering wheel removed to access the wires, locate the
brown wire. Using a test light or meter to verify this wire is the neutral safety wire.
Cut the brown wire and connect the green & blue wires from the switch box as
shown in the wiring diagram.
To run the white wire to the solenoid valve, you will need to drill a hole in the front
edge of the cab behind the front council. Insert a rubber grommet into the hole to
protect the wire, and route the wire out of the cab to the solenoid valve.
The red wire from the on / off terminal is to be hooked to the tractor ignition switch or
an available slot in the fuse box. NOTE: +12 VOLTS ELECTRICAL POWER
MUST BE TAKEN FROM A SOURCE LOCATION WHERE IT IS LIVE ONLY
WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN THE “ON” POSITION. THIS WIRE MUST
BE FUSED AT THE SOURCE LOCATION
The travel lock red wire from the switch box should also be covered with wire
wrap and should run with the white wire through the grommet. This wire will be
connected to the electronic travel lock located on the main boom cylinder. The wires
from the switch box are longer than needed and should be carefully cut and spliced
as required. Zip ties should be used to secure the wires to the tractor framework
and boom hoses to eliminate vibation and rubbing.
The black ground wire from the switch box can be attached to the switch box
mounting bracket.
A 2-1/8” hole must be drilled in the floor of the cab on the right side of the steering
wheel. The center of the hole is located 12” from the front window and 4-1/2” from
the right cab door. Shown on the next page.
Wrap the valve cables in hose wrap and route the cables through the hole in the
floor of the cab. The hose wrap will stick out above and below the hole in the cab

JOYSTICK MOUNTING
The joystick control will require that the right armrest be modified and an additional
bracket attached that will accommodate the joystick. In doing this, the armrest must be
removed by sliding off the plastic cover and removing the capscrew from the lower right
side of the seat. After the capscrew is removed the armrest should be loose from the
seat and able to be removed at this point. Once the armrest is removed, then place the
joystickholder under thearmrest, sothat theindentationon the outsideof thearmrest is
lined up with the hole in the armrest bracket for the capscrew to pass through. Once
the correct placement is achieved, then mark on the armrest where the hole passes
through the armrest bracket. At this point a 1/2” hole must be drill through the armrest
so that the bracket can be secured to the armrest. After the hole is drilled, then on the
inside of the armrest the 1/2” hole must be cut to a larger diameter up to the metal plate
in the armrest so that a spacer and hex nut can be fastened to the capscrew that
secures the armrest bracket. Install the armrest bracket on the armrest with the
hardware as shown in the parts section.
Oncethe bracketis installedon the armrestthen reattach thearmrest back ontothe
