Tine Replacement
When the Tines are damaged in any way, they will need to be replaced. When replacing, follow this
procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Raise the machine until the Tines are slightly above the ground.
3. Stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
dismounting.
4. Place blocks under each Depth Gauge Shoe to support the machine.
5. Raise the Drag Shield and secure in the up position.
6. Wear leather or heavy canvas gloves when handling Tines.
7. Remove mounting bolts from Tines.
ALERT
An alternate method would be to disconnect the machine from
the tractor and tip it forward on its nose.
8. Install a new replacement blade and tighten the mounting bolts to their specified torque.
9. Lower the rear gate.
10. Remove the blocks under the skid plates.
Shear Bolt
A shear pin is provided in the input drive shaft at the gearbox to protect the drive system during an
overload. To change the shear pin, follow this procedure:
1. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all
moving parts to stop before dismounting.
2. Disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor and lay to the side.
3. Carefully remove remaining shear bolt using a hammer and punch if necessary. Be careful not
to enlarge the holes.
4. Install the new shear bolt and tighten. (6mm & 40mm, Gr.5)
ALERT
Use only genuine Farm King parts. These shear bolts are specially
designed to provide protection for the drive system. Do not install
just any bolt.
