Traction and Cutting Unit Maintenance

Updates.

This bulletin identifies miscellaneous product maintenance updates that are available

for purchase and installation. The bulletin and also identifies new cross-references.

1. The center ball joint used on 1998 and older GR 3200’s is

now manufactured from stronger material for improved

durability. Orders for the original part are now cross-

referenced to part #104-7709.

2. The carrier frame roller and shaft on 1999 (some) and older

GR 3200’s are now manufactured from stronger plastic and

harder steel for improved durability. Orders for original parts

will be cross-referenced to Shaft (104-2078) and Roller (104-

2091).

3. Small (2 inch diameter) Plastic Rollers (104-8290) increase

clearance between roller and grass basket (steering type

suspension) preventing roller from jamming with clippings.

4. Rubber bumpers (94-1392) and Mounting Screw (12-5450)

also reduce turf scuffing (GR 3200 fixed type suspension) by

raising the basket and increasing clearance between rollers

and basket. Drill a 5/32” (.166) mounting hole centered in

the cross-piece. Locate holes 9-

inches from frame edge.

5. A grease displacing Plastic Ring (104-2067) is now available

for all GR 3200 series cutting units. The hollow ring fits in the

bearing cavity and reduces the quantity of grease required for

reel bearing lubrication.

6. The powered rear roller brush has a reinforcement bracket kit (104-2066) available to strengthen the rear mounting frame. This kit is helpful when removing the reels for “bench” servicing. One kit includes 3 brackets and hardware. 7. In some applications, the GR 3200 series cutting units may contribute to aftercut turf color variations. A longer Bedknife (99-4299) and a smaller front Roller (99-6241) may help reduce this problem in some conditions.
