Attaching D120 loader to John Deere 1023E tractor - Inspect the JD D120 loader for damaged or missing parts. Verify that all hydraulic fittings are free of dirt. Drive the tractor between the loader booms. Stop when masts are near the loader booms. Engage the park brake and place the transmission in PARK. Shut off engine and remove ignition key. Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system. Move the hydraulic control lever back and forth and side-to-side several times. Route the hoses through the hose guide. Connect hydraulic couplers using color-coded caps and plugs.

Use a tapered pin or drift tool to assist in the alignment of the boom and mast. To align holes in both booms with holes in both masts, start the engine and move JD 1023E tractor or pivot the bucket. To align holes in booms and masts, insert a tapered pin or drift tool through the back of both masts. Engage the park brake and place the transmission in PARK. Shut off engine and remove ignition key. Remove lift cylinders from the storage position: Raise the end of the lift cylinder out of the support, and remove from the support. Place the support into the storage position on the back of the boom. Repeat on the opposite side. Remove pivot pins from the storage bracket. To align the cylinder with the mast, use the control lever and manually extend or retract lift cylinders.

Align the end of the lift cylinder with the bottom holes in the mast. Install both pivot pins through the mast. Retain using quick-lock pins. Repeat on the opposite side. Start the engine, raise the boom slightly, and dump the bucket to 45°. Lower the bucket to the ground and apply slight down-pressure. Do not raise the front tires off the ground. Shut off engine and remove ignition key. Remove spring pins and pins. Remove parking stands and slide them in ends of the storage tube. Retain using pins and spring pins. Start the engine and check for proper loader operation in response to the control lever.

Detach John Deere D120 Loader - Remove the ballast box from 1023E tractor. Verify that D120 loader is equipped with a materials bucket. Start the engine. Release the park brake and place the transmission in NEUTRAL. Raise the boom slightly and dump the bucket to 45°. Lower the bucket to the ground and apply slight down-pressure. Do not raise the front tires off the ground. Apply the park brake and shut off the engine. Remove parking stands from the storage position. Install parking stands. Retain with the pin and spring pin. Start the engine. Tilt the bucket until parking stands rest on the ground.

Engage the park brake and place the transmission in PARK. Shut off engine and remove ignition key. Move hydraulic control levers back and forth and side-to-side several times until the pressure is removed from pivot pins. Place lift cylinders in the storage position: Remove quick-lock pins and pivot pins. Raise the end of the cylinder rod, lower the support, and place the end of the cylinder rod in the support. Repeat on the opposite side. Place pivot pins in storage brackets on both sides. Disconnect the hoses by pushing back the collar on each female coupler and removing male couplers.

Install Discharge Chute (60D) - Attach rear hinge to deck with nut. Do not tighten. Pre-load spring with one hand and attach front hinge to deck with nut. Do not tighten. Pull discharge chute assembly away from deck as nuts are tightened to help align hinges.

Adjusting Mower Level (Front-to-Rear) - Raise the 54" mower deck. Turn the height-of-cut control dial until the fifth step on the height of cut cam is oriented towards the bell crank. Lower the mower deck fully. Stop the engine, remove the key, and hang a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag in the operator station. Wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator seat. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable. Turn the left blade. Hold the drive belt and turn the right blade. Take blade tip-to-surface measurement on both ends of each blade and compare to specification: Blade Tip Front-to-Rear (front is the lower end) Height Difference - 3-6 mm (0.125-0.236 in.). If the front-to-rear difference is within specification, tighten draft link nuts. If front-to-rear difference is greater than 13 mm (0.50 in), loosen draft link nuts. To raise the front of the deck, shorten the draft link. To lower the front of the deck, lengthen the draft link.

Return to measure the front-to-rear level. If the front-to-rear difference is less than 13 mm (0.50 in) but greater that 3 mm (0.125 in), tighten the draft link nuts. Connect the negative battery cable. Lower the deck to the ground, stop the engine, and remove the key. Remove the retaining pins and pivot pin securing both turnbuckles to the lift arms. Shorten both turnbuckle assemblies an equal number of turns to raise the rear of the deck. Lengthen both turnbuckle assemblies an equal number of turns to lower the rear of the deck.

When the adjustment is complete, install the retaining pins. Return to measure the front-to-rear level. Connect the negative battery cable. Lower the deck to the ground, stop the engine, and remove the key. Measure the draft link gap and compare to specifications. Draft Link Gap Distance - 3 mm (0.125 in.). If the draft link gap is not to specification, loosen the draft link nuts. To decrease the draft link gap, shorten the draft link. To increase the draft link gap, lengthen the draft link. Return to measure the front-to-rear level. If the draft link gap is to specification, the front-to-rear leveling procedure is complete.
