ASSEMBLY OF FLOTATION GAUGE WHEELS
Flotation gauge wheels must be located on toolbar so that tires will run outside of tractor rear wheels.
Be sure to allow a minimum of 5" clearance between the tractor tire and the gauge wheel tire.
The maximum recommended outside to outside distance across the rear tractor tires is 120".
This flotation gauge is mounted directly over a shank. Remove the clamp plate from the top of the
toolbar and install the gauge wheel bracket. Install the gauge wheel arm between the ears on the
gauge wheel bracket and insert pivot shaft. Secure with 1/2" x 2" roll pins. Be sure that the hub points
away from the tractor. Install turnbuckle between ear on gauge wheel bracket and lug on axle arm
assembly.
Mount 9.5L - 15 or 11L - 15 tires on rims, inflate to 28 psi. and mount on hubs.
On seven shank machines, the gauge wheels can be mounted only over the last shank. On nine
shank machines, the gauge wheels can be mounted over either of the last two shanks. On eleven
shank machines, the gauge wheels can be mounted over any of the last three shanks.
