CARRIAGE ARM ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT

Carriage Arm Assembly Replace- ment:

Back Pivot

Plate

The carriage arm replacement will require the Back Pivot Plate to be unbolted with the skid shoe / break-a-way assembly to be removed with Back Pivot but not disassembled. The skid shoe / break-a-way assembly can be removed by unbolt- ing the back pivot plate from the carriage arm (See Figure 17 thru 25). The hydraulic hoses to the motor will not have to be disconnected but the hose brackets may have to be disconnected to allow the assembly to be moved outward far enough to clear carriage arm assembly. If the complete cutterbar / break-a-way assembly needs to be moved it is sometimes easier and cleaner to unbolt the motor and the complete assembly can be removed an the

motor can be moved out of the way with the hoses attached to it. DO NOT pull assembly with the hoses attached and damage them.

To remove the carriage arm the lift and tilt cylinder will need to be disconnected, the hoses will not require disconnecting, the cylinders can be set aside with the hoses connected. Remove the roll pins from the carriage pin. The carriage arm is pinned to the back pivot plate and the tractor main- frame. The mounting frame to attach to the tractor will vary from tractor model, but the way the car- riage arm is pinned to will not. Drive the carriage pins out and carriage arm will lift out (See Figure 24,

To reassemble the carriage arm reverse the disassembly instruction, insert carriage arm, insert carriage arm pins, install roll pin in to carriage arm pin. Install the lift and tilt cylinders, make certain hoses connecting to the cylinders is not twisted or routed wrong as they could be damaged. Attach the back pivot plate with the carriage pin. Bolt the cutterbar / skid shoe assembly to the back pivot plate, note the two lower holes in back pivot plate are slotted on a curve. Flatwashers will have to be used on these two lower bolts (See Figure 25). The pitch of the cutter bar will have to be readjusted, see pitch adjustment instructions in earlier pages (See Figure 4 & 26)
