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.

striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove  
key, inspect and repair any damage before resum-  
ing operation.  
Attitude Adjustment (Figure 1)  
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.  
The Woods rotary mower can be adjusted to ride level  
at various cutting heights by adjusting the rear of the  
machine up or down in the mounting bracket holes.  
After changing the height of the rear of the mower,  
always check the alignment of the belt from the idlers  
forward. If the belt is out of line, move the entire mower  
forward or back in the side adjustment holes or adjust  
idlers as necessary to make the belt run true. The side  
adjustment holes are also for additional belt take up in  
case belt adjustment is used on the idlers. It is very  
important to run the belt as much in line as possible at  
all times.  
MOWING GRASS  
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.  
Streaking  
Lubrication  
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.  
Lubricate the blade spindle shafts with SAE 80 or 90EP  
gear lube every 24 hours of operation until some oil is  
forced out around the top of the shaft. If machine is  
equipped with casters, grease occasionally to keep the  
powdered metal bearing well lubricated. The V-belt  
idlers have sealed ball bearings and do not need lubri-  
cating. On mowers using chain drive and jackshaft,  
keep chain well oiled and grease jackshaft every 24  
hours of operation.  
TRACTOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
V-Belts  
Operate the tractor at full governed rpm when doing  
normal mowing. If the forward speed is too high, a  
lower gear can be used.  
Belts should be adjusted so that they are tight enough  
to hold the power of the tractor when mowing. The  
mowers for IH Cub tractors are designed so that as the  
mower is raised above the mowing position, the belt  
slackens. This is to prevent excessive load on the trac-  
tor PTO pilot bearings when the tractor motor is oper-  
ated with PTO disengaged. Thus, on Cub tractors, the  
operator should avoid adjusting the drive belt so tight  
that the slackening off effect is eliminated. On other  
tractors, to prevent belt from jumping off, the belt  
Height Adjustment (Without Casters)  
The mower is raised or lowered and the mowing height  
is maintained by the tractor hydraulic system.  
Set the hydraulic control lever stop for the desired  
mowing level. Adjust the side skids so that they just

should be adjusted so that it is snug but not tight when  
mower is raised.  
ing out too easily. Do not substitute an ordinary bolt.  
When replacing the blade, tighten the bolt tight enough  
so that the blade will not slip.  
When belt replacement is necessary, use only belts  
recommended by Woods dealers. These are of special  
construction for shock loading and severe use.  
HOW TO SOLVE BELT PROBLEMS  
Assemble as shown on mower decal. If not installed  
correctly, more twist will result than is allowable.  
SIDE DISCHARGE & DISCHARGE CHUTE  
Both side shield and a discharge chute are provided for  
discharge end of mower (left end on white mower  
frames and right end on yellow frames). The side cover  
shield should be used on light mowing and when mow-  
ing areas where other persons may be present. The  
discharge chute is used in heavy mowing to allow eas-  
ier escape of cut material. Always use either side  
shield or discharge chute.  
Belt whip is caused by belt misalignment unless mower  
is driven by a rough-running or 2-cylinder engine.  
Proper position: Adjust mower forward 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 mis-  
alignment.  
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT  
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 2 and Figure 3.  
Two caster wheels are available for mounting on the  
front of the mower. These will gauge the mowing height  
very accurately. The leaf mulcher disposes of leaves  
quickly and economically. It returns valuable organic  
material to the soil.  
PTO pulleys must be moved in or out to cause the belt  
to be in alignment with the idlers.  
NOTE: 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.  
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  
lowered by keeping the rear idlers adjusted to a low  
position.  
MOWER SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES  
Mower spindles are equipped with two tapered roller  
bearings. The proper adjustment is held by a spring  
pin. It is not intended that these bearings be adjusted  
during their useful life. When difficulty is experienced  
with the mower spindle assembly, time and trouble will  
be saved by buying a completely new spindle assem-  
bly.  
However, if bearings must be adjusted, the spring pin  
can be driven out, the sleeve pulled loose, and a  
washer shim placed under the sleeve to tighten the  
bearings.  
SERVICING CUTTING BLADES  
Blades are made of heat-treated alloy steel and are  
designed to produce the most satisfactory results. For  
a good mowing job, always keep blades sharp.  
NOTE: On left hand models (L - White Frame) the  
blade bolts have left-hand threads.

Adjust the mower to proper cutting height. The front of  
the mower should be slightly lower than the rear for 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 & F10, use belt takeup idlers on  
mower deck for major adjustment.  
After belts are properly aligned, lock sheave (32) and  
bushing (31) in place. Torque bolt to 12 lbs-ft alternat-  
ing back and forth at least six times.  
NOTE: Make major belt adjustment by sliding mower  
fore and aft, using the five holes in arms as required.

On mowers with bolt-on front shield, bolt front of leaf  
mulcher to bottom of slots in front shield with 3/8 x 1"  
bolts and flat washers. On mowers with bent-down  
front frame, bolt leaf mulcher to inside of mower in  
holes drilled in front frame using 3/8 x 1-1/2 bolts and  
5/8 long pipe spacers between leaf mulcher and  
mower. On some mowers where 5/8" pipe may be too  
long, substitute  
LEAF MULCHER (OPTIONAL)  
Turn 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.  
On mowers with bent-down front frame, remove center  
baffle and drill three 7/16 diameter holes (two on 59’s)  
in front of mower at the dimensions shown on drawing  
on page 20.  
3/8 flat washers.  
Drill 7/16 holes in rear of mower deck through holes in  
leaf mulcher rear plates and bolt rear of leaf mulcher to  
deck using 3/8 x 1" bolts.  
Attach slotted angles (2) or (3 & 4) to leaf mulcher.  
Tighten all bolts securely. Turn each blade individually  
inside the leaf mulcher to see that it clears the leaf  
mulcher rings. If necessary, the rings may be re-  
shaped with a hammer to clear the leaf mulcher rings.  
Place leaf mulcher over blades on mower. Attach  
angles (2) or (3 & 4) and mower side shields to side  
frame angle on mower. All 59 mowers with bolt-on front  
shield will use front shield hole to attach angles (2) or  
(3 & 4).

Special Notes (Refer to numbers in parentheses in above table)  
1. Hook one 13-link chain between holes “C” & “D”.  
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.
