Frame Rail Installation
Remove High Frame for Welding.:
1.Remove Frame Rails. It is best to remove the Frame Rails to weld them. Frame Rails will need to be welded in five places. Note: The RH Frame Rail and the LH Frame Rail will have the same Welding done. For Illustration we are showing the RH Frame Rail, but the LH will have to be done also.
2.Weld Front Mount Plate. Weld down each side between Bolt Holes. Do not Weld to where the Weld will interfere with the Hex Head of Bolts when they are installed. Also weld across the Front of the Mounting Pad. (See Figure 51, 55 & 56)
3.Weld Front Angle Mount. Weld the Front Angle Mount to the Frame Rail on the Sides running parallel to the Frame Rail, Not across Frame Rail (See Figure 52 & 58). Weld the Rear Angle Mount to Frame rail the same as the front (See Figure 53).
4.Bar Mounting Strap. Weld these all the way around, first check your measurements for place- ment. The Bar Mounting Straps are cut and must be placed to where they will line up with the ones that you welded to the High frame mounting tubes earlier. (See Figure 53)
5.Frame Rail Stiffener Weldment. Weld the Frame stiffener to Frame rail on both sides. (See
Figure 24). Touch up or re-paint frame compo- nents after welding is completed. There are other components that need to be installed before you reinstall frame.
Do Not Weld next to Bolt Holes, it will interfere Hex Heads of Bolts
