WARNING

To prevent bodily injury, do not operate backhoe unless Link Weldments ( Figure 16 - 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 approximately 17” off the ground.

2.Back tractor close to the backhoe. Connect tractor lower link arms to lower link mounts at position “C”, Figure 17, using two L-pins (3), two cotter pins (4), and two wire form cotter pins (5) as shown in Figure 16.

NOTE: If tractor has a Category II hitch, install two bushings (6) in lower link arms as shown in Figure 16.

3.Attach upper braces (7), Figure 16, 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 closely matches the diameter of the tractor upper link pin in the hole of the upper bar (14), as shown in Figure 16. 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 16.

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 16.

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 16. You may need to return to Step 6 and readjust the bolt connec- tion 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 16.

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.
