Check that all grease zerks have been installed in the draft beams pivot arm, left 

linkage arm, right linkage arm, and cylinder mounting ears.

Using a clevis pin and roll pins, connect the pivot arm to clevis on draft beam.   

NOTE: Make sure the longer distance between the cutout and the end of the pivot 
arm is closest to the draft beam pivot ears on the center tube as shown in the diagram 
below.   Also make sure the cutout on the pivot arm faces into tube of draft beam. 

Slide other end of pivot arm with short distance between the cut-out and the end 

of the pivot arm, into the cylinder clevis.   Next, line up the holes of the left and right lift 
linkage arms outside of the cylinder clevis holes.   Connect with linkage pin, shims (as 
required), boss, cap-screw, lock-washer and hex nut as shown.

To connect the bonnet to the draft beam, slide the extension arms of the draft 

beam between the mounting ears on the inner end of the bonnet.   Line up the holes 
and secure with swivel pin, cap-screw, lock-washer, and hex nut (both sides).   See 
parts book illustration.

Next, slide the left and right linkage arms up to the slotted ear on the side of the 

deck.   Secure with linkage pin, shims, boss, cap-screw, lock-washer and hex nut.   See 
illustration in Parts Section.

Hose lengths will vary between tractor applications such as cab and non-cab units.  

See the Parts Section that pertains to your tractor for hose applications.

Install a hose from the bottom or inner valve port (behind cab for cab units, on stand 

for non-cab units) to the restrictor on the inboard cylinder gland.

Install a hose from the upper or outer valve port to the restrictor on the outboard 

cylinder butt.

See Parts Section for part numbers and hose routing illustrations.
