TRACTOR PREPARATION
Idler Bracket Installation
NOTICE
It may be necessary to cut off front corners of drawbar on older tractors to clear idler bracket push arms.
Locate idler bracket (4) up against inside gear housing
(6)and determine if any of the drawbar will need to be removed to ensure a good fit. Cut drawbar if necessary.
Install idler bracket (4) with 3/4" hardware as shown in Figure 14 and torque bolts to 300
NOTICE
On some older tractors, it may be necessary to substitute 5/8" hardware for the 3/4" hardware. The 5/8" hardware is not furnished with parts pack- age. If your wheel housing only has two holes in front, it will be sufficient. Frequently check that these bolts are tight to prevent idler bracket from moving. Torque 5/8" bolts to 175
If your tractor is equipped with a fast hitch, move hitch as far as possible to the right to prevent interference with belt and idlers.
