3-4 HITCH INSTALLATION
3-4.1
Attach the hitch weldment to the front of
the frame using hitch pins, 1-8 hex lock nuts,
and 1/2 x 2-1/4 slotted spring pins (See Fig-
ure 3-3).
3-4.2
Move the jack to the forward mounting
tube and rotate to parking position to support
the front of the hitch.
3-4.3
Insert a 3/4-10 x 7 hex head cap screw
into the hose holder tube on the right side of
the hitch from the bottom side so the threads
point upward. Hold in place with a 3/4 pre-
vailing torque flange nut with the flange
pointing upward as well. Do not tighten this
cap screw, so the hose holder bracket may
pivot freely in this joint.
3-4.4
Slide the hose holder bracket over the
screw and secure with another 3/4 prevailing
torque flange nut.
3-4.5
Install a 3/8-16 x 3-1/2 all-thread screw
in the front of the hose holder bracket and
secure with a 3/8-16 hex nut.
3-4.6
Slide the hose holder clamp over the
3/8" screw and loosely start the wing nut on
top of the clamp. Hydraulic hoses will be
routed through the clamp after assembly.
IMPORTANT
THE CLAMP HAS TWO SIDES, SO THAT EX-
TEND HOSES CAN BE LOCATED ON ONE
SIDE AND RETRACT HOSES CAN BE LO-
CATED ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR REFER-
ENCE.
IMPORTANT
THE LEVELER TOWER MUST BE INSTALLED
SO THAT THE NARROW END OF THE
TOWER IS DOWN AND THE REINFORCED
HOLES ARE TO THE REAR OF THE MA-
CHINE.
3-4.7
Connect narrow end of the leveler tower
to the bottom hole of the hitch weldment us-
ing 1-1/4-7 x 9-1/2 hex head cap screw, slot-
ted lock washer, and hex nut.
3-4.8
Connect front end of leveler tube to the
rear top hole of the leveler tower using hitch
pin, 1-8 hex lock nut, and 1/2 x 2-1/4 slotted
spring pin.
3-4.9
Attach the hitch rod radius assembly to
the top front hole of the leveler tower using
1-1/4-7 x 7 hex head cap screw, slotted lock
washer, and hex nut.
3-4.10
Connect the remaining end of the hitch
rod radius assembly to the hitch weldment
using 1-1/4-7 x 8 hex head cap screw, slot-
ted lock washer, and hex nut.
3-4.11
Attach hitch ring to the clevis hitch us-
ing 3/4-16 x 5-1/2 hex head cap screw and
hex nut (as required).
3-4.12
Assemble hitch clevis assembly to the
hitch weldment using 1-8 x 7-1/2 hex head
cap screws, hitch bushings, flat washers,
and hex lock nuts through the top hole. Use
1-8 x 7-1/2 hex head cap screw, safety chain
assembly, flat washer, and hex lock nut in
the lower hole.
