Frame Rail Set Up

Frame Rail Pre-Assembly:

The Frame Rail Set UP. The Frame Rails for the Machete will be set up on the tractor, positioned, measured but not welded. The Machete High frame is set on to Frame Rails, positioned and leveled. After all is set up and positioned it will be Tack Welded in Place on Tractor. Then it will be dis-assembled and welded up on the Shop floor. This is done to ensure better welds and to enable the parts to be turned so the components can be Flat Welded. It has been found that this will make the components stronger. This also gives a chance for all frame components to be test fitted and broken loose during this trial if when another component makes the previous one interferes.

The Tractor should be covered and protected from Spark from the Welder and Grinder at all times. It will be your responsibility to protect the Tractor and its components. DO NOT WELD or GRIND near any Glass or Painted Surface unless it is protected from sparks, these Sparks will damage any surface.

The purpose for Setting Frame up, tack welding it then removing it, is because with the amount of Welding that will have to be done these frame components will need to be repainted. The repainting is easier with frames off. The Frame components are shipped already painted but this is to protect the metal, plan on repainting them after welding.

DO NOT weld any frame or component untill instructed to do so in the instructions. Read through this entire instruction book to be familiar with which part goes where and when.

DO NOT try to man handle large components alone, one slip can break a window, damage a hood or worse. Note the order of assembly of other Assemblies, example the Pump Drive Shaft, Front Rail Supports, Rear Stack Valve Modifications and Joystick Assembly are assembled to Tractor before the frame rails. This is because some components will be in the way of others after they are assembled..
