Oil Leaking from new single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders:

There have been numerous cases of the dealers and customers replacing single actinghydraulic cylinders on new machines due to oil leakage out of the vent plug in the cylinder.

In many of these instances, no defect could be found in the cylinders. Further investigationhas revealed that he manufacture of our cylinders is leaving oil in the cylinders after their testing. TheOil is left to help protect the interior of the cylinders during storage. When the cylinders are fullyactuated, they are forcing this oil out the vent plug, causing what appears to be a leaking cylinderthrough the vent plug. Even the oil is cleaned off the cylinder after testing there is enough oil still insidethe cylinder to bleed out when used.

If you have a New Cylinder that appears to be leaking from the vent plug, The oil should becleaned off and unit ran for a few days to a week to determine if the Cylinder is leaking, or if it is theoil that was left in the cylinder to protect it. It has been found that in some cases it has taken as muchas a week for this to appear that it is not leaking.

If after running and cycling the cylinder during operation and the cylinder continues to leak thenthe necessary repair should be performed.

Cylinders that are attracting dust around them is not considered to be leaking. This dustcollecting around them is considered normal.

All Cylinder that are returned as leaking will be pressure tested for leakage to determine thecondition of the Cylinder and its components.

Springless Slip Clutch Adjustment Procedure:In order to avoid damage to the mower or clutch assembly, it is important that the clutches

slip when an obstacle which creates a load that is heavier than the clutch setting is encountered. Inorder to ensure that the clutches are properly set the following adjustment procedure must befollowed. Make note, step 3 must match the type clutch, 2 disk or 4 disk type.1. Loosen all of the 8 clutch adjusting bolts until they are loosely in the clutch. While you are doingthis it is a good time to inspect the clutch to make sure all the friction disk are in good condition andare not stuck to the pressure / drive plates. See the operators / parts manual for more detail.2. Gradually and evenly tighten the bolts to the correct initial setting. To achieve the properinitial setting. Gradually tighten all of the bolts in an alternating pattern (See Figure 2) until the bolthead and nut comes in contact with the clutch outer plate. Continuing tightening the nuts only untilthe point at which the bolt and nut can be rotated in the housing using 5 to 10 inch lbs. of force. Severalcycles of tightening may be necessary until this hand tight point is reached.3A. 2 Disk Clutch: If your unit uses a 2 disk clutch, use the proper size wrench to gradually tightenthe bolts in sequence (See Figure 2) from 7/8 to 1 full additional turns more to achieve the final setting3B. 4 Disk Clutch: If your unit uses a 4 disk clutch, use the proper size wrench to gradually tightenthe bolts in sequence (See Figure 2) from 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 full additional turns more to achieve the finalsetting

Clutch Disk Linings, Using Will Fit Substitute :Evidence recently revealed indicates a general attitude of many dealers to provide "will fit" or

non OEM clutch disk linings as replacement parts for the Alamo Industrial standard disk lining.

Many of these substitute disk are constructed of a material which exhibits a low pH and are,therefore, acidic in nature and tend to attract moisture. These characteristics result in a mild acidicreaction or electrolysis and corrosion of the metal components. Testing has reveled that thiscorrosion will result in adhesion of the disk lining to the metal plates in as little as two weeks time. Infact , in some cases, it was required to chisel the lining from the metal plate with a hammer and chisel.

Typical modes of failure which result from this adhesion of the lining involve many mechanicalcomponent failures to mower as well as tractor.

Clutch lining exhibiting this characteristic can be identified as being dark grey or black in color,and are available from many "will fit" suppliers. The current Alamo Industrial clutch Disk lining materialis formulated with a pH of 12 which indicates a very basic or alkaline material. In addition, the materialis impregnated with brass to provide a smooth slipping characteristic and lubrication during clutchactivation. Zinc is also impregnated into the material to provide for corrosion resistance due toelectrolysis. These standard disk are identified

Figure 1

as being tan or light brown in color, and appearto be more dense in structure than the "will Fit"disks.

Warranty claims for components fail-ures when these "will fit" disk linings are used tosubstitute for Alamo Industrial replacement partswill be subject to denial pending investigationinto the use of these. If it is determine these "willfit" disk are being used all warranty on failure ofany of the drive components, Drivelines, Gear-boxes, Blade Carriers, Clutch, Clutch Compo-nents or the Tractor itself will be denied.

Three Point Lift Category Dimensions:

There have been numerous inquiries as to the sizes and dimensions relating to the categoryof the three point hitch. The purpose of this bulletin is to offer a quick reference.

File this information in your sales manual for reference. This information concerns the sizesof the hitches available on tractors. The term used to identify the size is "category". The categoriesare linked to the tractor horse power. The Horse power divisions overlap and some tractors are intwo categories. Cat "0" is for garden tractors, less than 20 HP. Cat "I" is for 20 to 45 HP. Cat "II" isfor 40 to 100 HP. Cat "III" is 80 to 225 HP and Cat "IV" is from 180 to 400 HP.
