Installing The 200/300 Series Traction Unit Backhoe Kit - Toro 23163 Operator's Manual

Installing the 200/300 Series
Traction Unit Backhoe Kit
If you will be using the backhoe with a 200 or 300 series
traction unit, install the side bar brackets and tilt cylinder
pin included in the kit.
Installing the Side Bar Brackets
1. Remove the traction unit manual holder and relocate it
under the control panel (4-Paw gasoline units only).
2. Remove the battery from the traction unit. Refer to
your traction unit operator's manual.
Note: If you have a 300 series, diesel traction unit, you do
not need to remove the battery; however, you do need to
remove the loader arm cylinder and exhaust cover plate on
the right side of the machine. To remove the loader arm
cylinder, you need to raise the loader arms and install the
cylinder lock on the left side before removing the right
cylinder. Replace the cylinder and plate when finished
installing the side bar bracket.
3. Examine your traction unit. If it has three mounting
holes pre-drilled in the frame, a few inches in front of
each lift cylinder (Fig. 1), skip to step 6.

4. Line up the side bar bracket as illustrated in Figure 2
and mark the centers of the three holes (you may need
to adjust the position of the bracket slightly so that the
bracket and back-plate do not interfere with weldments
on the traction unit).

5. Drill three, 9/16 in. (1.43 cm) diameter holes through
the side of the traction unit at the marked locations.
6. Secure the side bar bracket to the side of the traction
unit using the back-plate, three carriage bolts, and three
nuts (Fig. 3).

8. Repeat steps 3–7 for the other side of the traction unit.
9. Install the battery from the traction unit. Refer to your
traction unit operator's manual.
Note: On some 200 series traction units, the bolt heads will
interfere with the battery case. If this happens, elongate the
holes in the frame for mounting the battery clamp.
Changing the Tilt Cylinder Pin
1. Place a block in front of the mount plate so that it
cannot swing forward when you remove the tilt cylinder
pin.
