REPLACE CASTOR ARM BUSHINGS
Castor arms have bushings pressed into the top and
bottom of the tube. To check bushings, move castor
fork back and forth, and sidetoside. If castor spindle
is loose, bushings are worn and must be replaced.
1. Raise cutting unit so castor wheels are off the floor
and block up with jack stands.
2. Remove retaining ring, thrust washer(s) and
spacer (if installed on top) from top of castor spindle
(Fig. 8).
IMPORTANT: Note location of washers and spacer
on each spindle shaft to assure correct installation
and to maintain a level deck
3. Pull castor spindle out of mounting tube. Leaving
thrust washers on bottom of spindle.
4. Insert pin punch into mounting tube and drive out
bushings (Fig. 8). Clean inside mounting tube.

5. Apply grease inside and outside new bushings.
Using a hammer and flat plate, drive bushings into
mounting tube.
6. Inspect castor spindle for wear; replace if
necessary.
7. Slide castor spindle through bushings and
mounting tube. Place thrust washer(s) and spacer(s)
onto spindle and secure with retaining ring.
IMPORTANT: When bushings are installed, the
inside diameter may collapse slightly, this may not
allow castor spindle to be installed. If castor
spindle does not slide through new bushings, ream
both bushings to inside diameter of 1.126 in.
(28.6mm).
8. Grease castor arm bushings using No. 2 general
purpose lithium base or molybdenum base grease.
SERVICE CASTOR WHEEL AND BEARING
Castor wheels rotates on a roller bearing supported by
a spanner bushing. If the bearing is kept well
lubricated, wear will be minimal. Failure to keep the
bearing well lubricated will cause rapid wear. A wobbly
castor wheel usually indicates a worn bearing.
1. Remove lock nut and wheel bolt holding castor
wheel between castor fork (Fig. 9).
2. Remove bushing and pull spanner bushing and
roller bearing out of wheel hub.

MAINTENANCE
CHECK FOR BENT BLADE
1. Park mower on a level surface. Turn PTO switch
OFF, turn engine OFF engage parking brake and
disconnect spark plug wire(s).
2. Rotate blade(s) until the ends face forward and
backward. Measure from inside of cutting unit to
cutting edge at front of blade (Fig. 10), and remember
this dimension.
1083
Figure 10
3. Rotate opposite end of blade forward. Measure
between the cutting unit and cutting edge of blade at
the same position as in step 2. The difference between
dimensions obtained in steps 2 and 3 must not exceed
1/8 in. (3mm). If dimension exceeds 1/8 in. (3mm),
replace the blade(s) because it is bent: refer to
Replacing Cutter Blade.
WARNING
Do not try to straighten a blade that is bent, and
never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always
use a new blade to assure safety.
REPLACE CUTTER BLADE
Blade(s) must be replaced if a solid object is hit, the
blade is outofbalance or bent. To ensure optimum
performance and continued safety conformance of the
machine, use genuine TORO replacement blades.
Replacement blades made by other manufacturers
may result in nonconformance with safety standards.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Turn PTO switch
OFF, turn engine OFF, engage parking brake and
disconnect spark plug wire(s).
2. Hold the blade end using a rag or thickly padded
glove. Remove blade bolt, lock washer, antiscalp cup
and blade from spindle shaft (Fig. 11).

MAINTENANCE
CHECK BLADE SAIL AND SHARPENING
Both cutting edges and blade sail contribute to good
qualityofcut. The sail, the turned up portion opposite
the cutting edge, is important as it pulls grass up
straight, thereby producing an even cut. The sail
gradually wears down during operation, this condition
is normal. As the sail wears down, the qualityofcut will
degrade, although the cutting edges are sharpened.
The cutting edge of the blade must be sharp so the
grass is cut rather than torn. A dull cutting edge is
evident when tips of the grass appear brown and
shredded. Sharpen the cutting edges to correct this
condition.
1. Examine cutting ends of the blade carefully,
especially where the flat and curved parts of the blade
meet (Fig. 12A). Sand and abrasive material can wear
away the metal that connects the flat and curved parts
of the blade. Check the blade(s) before using the
mower. If wear is noticed (Fig. 12B), replace the
blade(s).
A
B
C
1081
Figure 12
2. Examine cutting edges of all blade(s). Sharpen the
cutting edges if they are dull or nicked. Sharpen only
the top of the cutting edge and maintain the original
cutting angle to make sure of sharpness (Fig. 13). The
blade will remain balanced if same amount of metal is
removed from both cutting edges.
DANGER
If blade is allowed to wear, a slot will form be
tween the sail and flat part of the blade
(Fig. 12C). Eventually a piece of the blade
may break off and be thrown from under the
housing, possibly resulting in serious injury to
yourself or bystanders.
SHARPEN AT THIS
ANGLE ONLY
END VIEW OF
BLADE 1080

Note: Remove the blades: refer to Removing Cutter
Blades, steps 2 and 3. After sharpening the cutting
edges, reinstall blade with antiscalp cup, flatwasher
and blade bolt. Blade sails must be on top of blade.
Torque blade bolt to 85-110 ft. lb.

MAINTENANCE
CORRECTING CUTTING UNIT MISMATCH
If one cutter blade cuts lower than the others, correct
as follows:
1. Park mower on a level surface. Turn PTO switch
OFF, turn engine OFF, engage parking brake and
disconnect spark plug wire(s).
2. Adjust tire pressure in all tires to specifications and
check that blade(s) are not bent: refer to Checking for
Bent Blade.
3. Place heightofcut to the 21/2 in. position: refer to
Adjusting HeightOfCut. Make sure heightofcut pins
are resting on frame cushions.
4. Rotate blades so tips line up with one another. Tips
of all adjacent blades must be within 1/8 in. of each
other. If tips are not within 1/8 in. of each other add
shims Part No. 325624 between spindle housing and
bottom of cutting unit to align blade(s).
FronttoRear Pitch
1. Position blade(s) fronttorear (Fig. 14). Measure at
C" and D" locations (Fig. 14), from level surface to
the cutting edge of blade(s) (Fig. 15).
2. Mower should be 1/8 in.-5/8 in. lower in front C"
than rear D".
3. To change fronttorear pitch move equal number
of thrust washers on both front castor shafts. Move
thrust washers from top to bottom to raise, or bottom to
top to lower pitch (Fig. 16).
4. Check sidetoside level of cutting unit.
