John Deere/Kuhn/NH disc mower timing

I have a John Deere 260 disc mower. I understand it s made by Kuhn and is the same as a few other brands. I had a few bearings go bad and got them replace. I purchased a service manual from Deere for this job. However when I got it all back together I m just a few teeth off on timing. The directions in the Deere manual are extremely vague (IMO) on timing of this mower. I can add a pic of the few lines that talk about timing if necessary. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
 
My NI5209 basically has the turtles set exactly 90 degrees opposite of each other. The right two spin the
same direction and are supposed to be 87 degrees off, but I set that at 90 and it seems to work better.
 
Sorry for the delayed response. Ive posted what to manual
says about timing. I have been messing with it this evening.
I have the turtles exactly 90 off of each other and in time
to where when they spin around the blades do not hit
however the timing mark on the pinions arent exactly 90
off of each other. Im guessing everything should be good
to put back together. Ive spun in by hand with blades
straight out and they do not hit. Any opinions. Also let me
know what you think about JDs sentence about timing, as I
thought it was fairly confusing. Thanks again

For lack of a better description.... when you start installing the spinner shafts you need to fit a disc and set it either
parallel to the bar or perpendicular... then when you install the next spinner shaft, fit a disc at 90 degrees to the first one
and continue down the line keeping in mind which way they turn. I'm not sure if that one has two clockwise on the inside or just
the one on the end but watch the timing if you have two travelling the same direction. You need to check it and get the gear
timing correct because the splines are too coarse to allow you to move a disc one spline on the hub without hitting.
