To prevent bodily injury, do not operate backhoe unless Link Weldments (Figure 15 - Items 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 aproximately 13” off the ground.

2.Back tractor close to the backhoe. Connect tractor lower link arms to lower link mounts at position “C”, Figure 14, using two L-pins (3), two cotter pins (4), and two wire form cotter pins (5) as shown in Figure 15.

NOTE: If tractor has a Category II hitch, install two bushings (6) in lower link arms as shown in Figure 15.

3.Attach upper braces (7), Figure 15, to backhoe with 3/4 x 7-1/2” bolt (8), flat washers (9), lockwasher (10) and nut (11). Do not tighten hardware at this time.

4.Install bushing (12) or bushing (13) that most close- ly matches the diameter of the tractor upper link pin in the hole of the upper bar (14), as shown in Figure 15. No bushing is necessary for Category II tractors.

5.Secure upper bar (14) between upper braces (7)

using 3/4 x 4-1/2” bolt (15), flat washers (9), lock- washer (10) and nut (11). Use hoist to raise or lower backhoe slightly until a hole in the upper bar aligns with a hole in the upper braces. See Figure 14.

6.Attach RH lower link weldment (1) and LH lower link weldment (2) to backhoe mainframe using 7/8” x 2-1/2” bolt (16), flat washers (17), lockwasher (18), and nut (19). See Figure 15.

7.Align RH and LH link weldment (1, 2) with a hole in the upper bar/brace assembly, as close to the tractor as possible. Use 3/4 x 6” bolt (20), flat washers (9), lockwasher (10), and nut (11). See Figure 15. You may need to return to Step 6 and reajust the bolt connection upward or downward .

8.Remove backhoe from the tractor.

9.Install connector bar (21) to RH and LH lower link weldments (1, 2) using 1/2 x 1-1/2” bolt (22), lockwash- er (23), and nut (24). See Figure 15.

10.Tighten all hardware at this time. Check your instal- lation very carefully to be sure all members are correct- ly installed and securely fastened.

11.If using optional PTO Pump Kit, proceed to that section prior to mounting the backhoe onto the tractor.

12.Connect hoses from the backhoe control valve to the tractor hydraulic system as described in “Hydraulic Hook-Up” section, prior to mounting the backhoe onto the tractor.
