SAFETY RULES  
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!  
Make sure all safety decals are installed.  
Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for  
location.)  
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.  
Make sure shields and guards are properly  
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-  
cern, judgement, and proper training of  
personnel involved in the operation, transport,  
maintenance, and storage of equipment.  
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or  
other hard objects that might be thrown, causing  
injury or damage.  
OPERATION  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be  
that kind of operator.  
You may not be able to stop the tractor safely if  
the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms are improp-  
erly adjusted, allowing them to contact mower  
components.  
TRAINING  
When the mower lift stops are installed as  
instructed in this manual, properly adjusted clutch  
and brake pedal mechanisms will not contact  
mower components. You should frequently check  
that the tractor clutch and brake pedal mechanisms  
are in adjustment.  
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.  
If the clutch or brake pedal mechanisms can  
contact mower components, do not put mower into  
service until properly adjusted.  
Do not put mower into service unless discharge  
chute is installed and in good condition. Replace if  
damaged.  
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.  
Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
Do not operate or transport equipment while  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
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 instructions.  
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,  
or property.  
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
PREPARATION  
Check that all hardware is properly installed.

by lifting the mower over bumps.  
A WARNING  
Do not allow children or unqualified persons to  
Height Adjustment (With Casters)  
operate equipment.  
Keep bystanders away from equipment while it  
is in operation.  
Adjustment for 59 and L59 casters is made by placing  
axle in upper and lower holes in the yoke, or by moving  
spacers on top or bottom of the pivot shaft. On L306,  
adjust by using various holes in the caster arm. Adjust  
side skids 1/2" above the ground.  
A CAUTION  
Raise mower off the ground when backing and turning  
at the same time.  
Stop mower and tractor immediately upon  
striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove  
key, inspect and repair any damage before resum-  
ing operation.  
Mower Attitude  
Position front of mower level with or slightly below the  
rear to provide closer cutting. Mowing with the front  
end higher will produce ragged cuts with a scalloped  
look, excessive shredding, and will require extra power.  
Alway wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hands, hearing and head.  
Attitude Adjustment (Figure 1)  
MOWING GRASS  
For best mowing results, dimension “A” should not be  
more than 1/2" higher, and never lower, than dimension  
“B”.  
Woods model 59, L59, and L306 series mowers are  
equipped with suction-type blades which make them  
ideal for finish mowing large areas of lawn. The  
machine should be run level when mowing, and the  
uncut area should be kept to the left side (right side on  
left-handed machine). This prevents a small windrow  
that might otherwise occur.  
Dimension “B” is set by adjusting casters, gauge  
wheels or lift chains.  
Dimension “A” is set by raising or lowering push chan-  
nel arms in idler bracket.  
Streaking  
NOTICE  
With certain types of grass and under certain seasonal  
conditions, the front caster wheels may roll the grass  
down enough that it will not come all the way back up  
and will not be cut as short as the surrounding area.  
This may appear to be a streak left by the spindle, but it  
is not. The only solution, under these conditions, is to  
carry the weight of the machine on the lift chains with  
the caster wheels adjusted up so they carry the weight  
when riding a high ridge or high spot.  
Any adjustment to either dimension “A” or “B”  
will require adjustment to the other.  
Check cutting height and attitude by placing a straight  
edge along the outside edge of the mower frame as  
shown in Figure 3.  
Measure from the bottom edge of the straight edge at  
the front and rear at least 32" apart. The front measure-  
ment should be approximately 1/2" lower than the rear.  
TRACTOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
To determine cutting height, it is necessary to subtract  
the distance the blade is below mower frame from the  
front measurement. On L59, the blade is 4-5/8" below  
the mower frame. On the L306, it is 4-7/8" below.  
Operate the tractor at full governed rpm when doing  
normal mowing. If the forward speed is too high, a  
lower gear can be used.  
When checking cutting height, be sure to take mea-  
surements on both sides of the mower. Be sure the  
mower is level from side to side using these measure-  
ments.  
Height Adjustment (Without Casters)  
The mower is raised or lowered and the mowing height  
is maintained by the tractor hydraulic system.  
When changes are made to cutting height or attitude,  
be sure to check belt alignment and tension.  
Set the hydraulic control lever stop for the desired  
mowing level. Adjust the side skids so that they just

Figure 1. Attitude Adjustment  
NOTICE  
Improper belt alignment or tension can cause  
premature belt failure.  
Figure 2. Proper Belt Tension  
Lubrication  
NOTICE  
Grease caster pivot and wheel every 8 hours of opera-  
tion.  
Alignment must be rechecked if it is necessary  
to move idler pulleys to get proper belt tension.  
There are grease fittings on each of the three blade  
spindles, which are accessible without shield removal.  
Grease every 24 hours of operation with a good grade  
light to medium grease gun.  
Tension on a new belt should be readjusted  
every half hour for the first two hours and then  
checked every 8 hours of operation.  
Side Shield & Discharge Chute  
NOTICE  
Do not over grease spindles. Excess grease  
Side shield and discharge chute are provided for dis-  
charge end of mower (left end on white frames and  
right end on yellow frames). Use side shield for normal  
mowing and in areas where other persons may be  
present. Use discharge chute for very heavy mowing  
conditions.  
could be transferred to the belt and cause slippage  
or premature failure.  
Belt Tension (Figure 2)  
Set belt tension using a spring scale or other force  
measuring device. Remove left belt shield. Attach scale  
between center and left pulley. Apply between 3 and 4  
pounds of force. Belt deflection should measure 5/16"  
for normal conditions.  
NOTICE  
Always use either side shield or discharge  
chute.  
Tension may be increased if necessary to prevent belt  
from slipping in heavy mowing conditions. When  
checking tension without a force measuring device, the  
belt, when properly set, should feel very tight.  
Optional Equipment  
Optional equipment available for this equipment  
includes casters for cutting height control, front roller to  
minimize scalping, low and extra suction blades, and a  
leaf mulcher. Low suction blades are for sandy areas  
where abrasive action could cause excessive blade  
wear. Extra suction blades are designed to lift up fragile  
downed grasses for better cutting results and are also  
recommended for use with Woods lawn vacuum and  
leaf mulcher attachments.  
Cycle belt through at least two revolutions after any  
adjustment before checking tension. These belts are  
very strong and need to be adjusted very tight. Belts  
are more likely to be damaged by excessive slippage  
than from being overtightened.  
NOTICE  
Belt must not rub deck or crosswise support.  
Mower Spindle Assemblies  
Tension adjustments may be made by moving the idler  
pulleys up or down.  
Mower spindle assemblies are equipped with two  
tapered roller bearings. Bearing adjustment is held by a  
roll pin. Adjustment should not be necessary. Repair  
requires special skills and tools. You may save time  
and money by using a new spindle assembly.

lowered by keeping the rear idlers adjusted to a low  
position.  
Blade Servicing  
Keep blades sharp for a good mowing job. Sharpen  
both ends of the blade the same amount to maintain  
balance. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge, but  
leave a 1/16" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of  
blade. When replacing blades, do not substitute any  
bolt for the special Nylok blade bolt. The Nylok bolt is  
self-locking, meeting the non-loosening requirements  
for this application.  
NOTICE  
On mowers with white frames, the blade bolts  
have left hand threads.  
Both 59 and 306 mowers use cup washers under  
blades. These washers will burn and lose their clamp-  
ing force if excess slippage occurs. Inspect and replace  
as necessary. The L306 mower incorporates a friction  
clutch disc which is designed to slip only when striking  
a solid object. Should blade slip during mowing, tighten  
by adding thin shim washers over bushing, between  
top cup washer and blade, until blades will hold desired  
load. Blade bolts should be torqued to 170 lbs-ft.

HOW TO SOLVE BELT PROBLEMS  
How to Align a Twisted Belt  
Assemble as shown on mower decal. If not installed  
correctly, more twist will result than is allowable.  
Right: Inside edge of belt are approximately lined up  
with the sheave.  
Belt whip is caused by belt misalignment unless mower  
is driven by a rough-running or 2-cylinder engine.  
Proper position of L59 and L306: Adjust mower for-  
ward and back to such a position that the rear take-up  
idlers are near the bottom of their slots when the belt  
lines up with the proper groove in the center pulley and  
is tight. Never run the idlers high in the slots as this will  
cause misalignment.  
It is assumed that the mower is adjusted to run approx-  
imately level. If the front of the mower is down, the  
idlers will have to be raised. If the back of the mower is  
down, the idlers will have to be down further. Belts  
must be in proper alignment with sheave grooves as  
shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.  
Figure 4.  
Wrong: Outer edge of belt appears to be in line.  
PTO pulleys must be moved in or out to cause the belt  
to be in alignment with the idlers.  
Belt Tension: Run belts very tight. Present belt  
designs are much stronger than we are accustomed to  
and will stand more tension. Slipping will heat and ruin  
a belt but tension is not harmful. You can minimize the  
amount of change in belt length as mower is raised and

Figure 6.  
Bring the belt back across the center sheave in the  
center groove over to the right outside sheave.  
Figure 8.  
Proper Twist: The belt then follows with a 3/4 twist  
back under the left V-idler, up over the drive sheave  
and back down under the right idler pulley. This will  
leave a 1/4 twist in the section of belt extending from  
the right V-idler to lower groove of the center mower  
sheave.  
Adjust the mower to proper cutting height. The front of  
the mower should be slightly lower than the rear of the  
best cutting and least power requirement.  
Idler Adjustment: Make minor belt adjustment with  
idlers but keep left idler about 1" above being in line  
with the groove in which the belt runs on the center  
sheave of the mower and right idler about 1" below.  
Move mower fore and aft for major adjustments. On  
L306K210, K260, S, and F10, use belt takeup idlers on  
mower deck for major adjustment.  
LEAF MULCHER (OPTIONAL)  
1. Turn the mower upside down on saw horses. If  
mower has a bolt-on front shield, adjust shield all  
the way down in long slots. Remove side shields.  
Leave side skids on. If optional front roller has  
been installed, it must be removed.

Operation  
To do a satisfactory job of leaf mulching,  
the mower should be adjusted so blades  
are about 1-1/2” above ground and the  
back of the mower slightly lower than the  
front. The mower should be run at full RPM  
with tractor in first or second gear.

2. Fasten one 10-link and one 7-link chain together.  
3. Hook lower end of spring in crotch chain.  
4. Hook spring into chain just above hole “H”.  
5. Clamp offset end spring under flat washer on out-of-way side of bracket, where indicated.  
6. Fasten two 10-link chains together for lift chain.  
7. On L306 models, use heavy spring furnished with mower rather than lighter spring furnished with manual lift kit.  
Hook to a point on tractor so most of mower weight is held by spring which will allow lift to work easier.  
8. Hook upper end of spring over bushing (4). Bolt lift chain to lift lever with 3/8 x 2 bolt and nut.  
9. Bolt two 13-link chains together for lift chain.  
10. On IH “A” lift lever (3) goes inside steering rod. On IH “B” it goes outside steering rod. For IH “B” shim attachment  
plate (10) out away from tractor using spacer (11), four washers (56) and bolts (38). Lift lever may have to be bent  
out slightly to clear steering rod.
