straps (#5). Pivot tube (#1) should be removed only if 
hitching to a Cat. 1 hitch.

2.

Bushings (#2) are zip tied to top hitch (#13).

3.

Remove hex flange lock nuts (#9A) and flat 
washers (#10) from bolt (#6A).

bolts (#6B), 13/32" long bushings (#4), flat washers 
(#10), and lock nuts (#9B). Tighten lock nuts (#9B).

6.

Rotate A-frame/floating top hitch (#5 & #13) up and 
rotate left rear brace (#3) up until holes in rear 
braces (#3) align with hole in floating top hitch (#13).

7.

Insert 3/4"-10 x 4 1/2" GR5 bolt (#7) into the left rear 
brace (#3), floating top hitch (#13), and right rear 
brace (#3).

8.

Secure bolt with hex flange lock nut (#8). Draw lock 
nut (#8) up snug and then back off 1/4 turn.

1.

Attach tailwheel gauge arm (#1) to inside of rear deck 
lugs with 5/8"-11 x 2" GR5 cap screws (#3C) and hex 
nylock nuts (#5). Draw nylock nut (#5) up snug and 
then back off 1/4 turn.

2.

Install two 2 1/4" OD machine washers (#7) onto 
tailwheel spindle (#9).

3.

Insert tailwheel spindle into tailwheel pivot tube (#1). 

4.

Install third machine washer (#7) over tailwheel 
spindle and secure with  3/8" x 2 1/2" roll pin (#8).

5.

Attach bottom hole of tailwheel adjustment bar (#2) to 
deck rear with 5/8"-11 x 2" GR5 cap screw (#3B), and 
hex nylock nut (#5). Draw nylock nut up tight, do not 
torque tight.

6.

Tighten hex nut (#4) until lock washer (#6) is 
squeezed flat.

IMPORTANT: See Detail A in Figure 1-1 on page 9. 
Floating top hitch (#13) must be installed with 
ears (#14) above rear brace bars (#3).

NOTE:  After assembly of hitch, push on top of 
A-frame assembly (#5). It should rotate backwards 
and floating top link (#13) should rotate upwards. If 
they are too stiff to rotate, loosen nuts (#8) until 
floating top link (#13) rotates freely.

NOTE:  Keep adjustment bar (#2) rotated up off the 
deck to prevent scratching the paint while driving roll 
pin (#8) in with a hammer.
