Frame Installation
2.Remove RH Side Steps. The steps on the RH side of the tractor will be removed and not used so as not to interfere with the clearence of the mower head. (See Figure 3).
3.Remove 3-Point Stabilizer Bracket The RH side 3 point stabilizer bracket will be unbolted from the tractors rear axle housing (see Figure 2). Leave the stabilizer off for now.
4.Install Frame Rail to Tractor. The frame rail (Item 1 Figure 1) will be slid under the tractor on the RH side. Make certain the plastic plugs have been removed from tractor frame, two at the front bolster and two mid frame. Do NOT tighten the frame mounting bolts until all the bolts have been installed as frame will need to be moved slightly for alignment as the bolts are in- stalled. The frame can be installed by balancing the frame on a floor jack, if using this method it is recommended two people perform this to pre- vent the frame from falling. Raise the frame up to the tractor frame, install the two front bolts and washers (Item 5 Figure 1). Remember do not tighten these bolts until all the bolts in frame have been installed.
5. Re-Install3-Point Stabilizer Bracket The three point stabilizer bracket will be reinstalled under the rear frame at the rear tractor axle. (Item 2 Figure 1). Install frame mounting bolts and lockwashers, once these four bolts (through 3 point stabilizer and frame rail ) have been installed all the frame bolts can be tightened. NOTE: the bolts at the rear of the frame are 16 mm and the bolts at mid frame and front are 20 mm and will have different torque values, check tractor speci- fications and /or restrictions for the torque of bolts in the holes.
6.Install Sub-Frame Weldment. The Sub frame weldment bolts the frame at the mid way point (Item 3 Figure 1), There are four bolts, lockwashers and nuts used to install the sub frame. The mounting holes are designed so sub-frame will only attach one way (See Figure 1). NOTE: Sub-frame has a cylinder lug welded to it, this lug will be at the bottom and to the rear as shown in Figure 1. Torque the four sub-frame mounting bolts
