ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: Tighten all hardware to the torque requirements specified in the torque chart.

WARNING

To prevent bodily injury, do not operate backhoe unless Lower Link Weldments ( Figure 15 - 1, 2) are properly installed and adjusted. Failure to do so may result in backhoe being thrust upward, crushing operator against cab or ROPS.

1.Use hoist to raise the backhoe mainframe so that the boom pivot pin is approximately 16” off the ground.

2.Attach adapter weldment (3) to backhoe main- frame using twelve 1/2 x 7-1/2” bolts (4), washers (5), and locknuts (6), as shown in Figure 15.

3.Install RH foot pad (7) and LH foot pad (8) to adapter weldment (3) as shown in Figure 15. Use four carriage 5/16 x 1” bolts (9), washers (10), lockwashers (11), and nuts (12). Also use two 5/16 x 1-1/4” bolts (13), washers (10), lockwashers (11), and nuts (12).

4.Attach seat assembly (14) to adapter weldment

(3) as shown in Figure 15. Use four carriage 1/2 x 1- 3/4” bolts (15), lockwashers (16), and nuts (17).

5.Back tractor close to the backhoe. Connect tractor lower link arms to lower link mounts at position “C”, Figure 16, using two L-pins (18), two cotter pins (19), and two wire form cotter pins (20) as shown in Figure 15.

NOTE: If tractor has a Category II hitch, install two bushings (21) in lower link arms as shown in Figure 15.

6.Attach upper braces (22), Figure 15 to backhoe with 3/4 x 7-1/2” bolt (23), lockwasher (24), flat washers (25) and nut (26). Do not tighten hardware at this time.

7.Install bushing (27) or bushing (28) in the hole of the upper bar (29) that most closely matches the diameter of the tractor upper link pin, as shown in Figure 15. No bushing is necessary for Category II tractors.

8.Secure upper bar (29) between upper braces (22) using 3/4 x 4-1/2” bolt (30), flat washers (25), lockwash- er (24) and nut (26). Use hoist to raise or lower back- hoe slightly until a hole in the upper bar aligns with a hole in the upper braces. See Figure 15.

9.Attach RH lower link weldment (1) and LH lower link weldment (2) to backhoe mainframe using 3/4 x 2-1/4” bolt (31), flat washer (25), lockwasher (24), and nut (26). See Figure 15.
