FIG. 2. Attach the bail assembly (11) to the
drawbar brackets (10) using two clevis pins (2)
and two retainer springs (8).
Insert a clevis pin (2) through bottom hole (8)
in each drawbar bracket (10) and then through
hole in each end of bail assembly (11). Secure
this assembly by inserting a retainer spring (8)
through the hole in each clevis pin (2). Referto
Fig.2.
Now, Securely tighten the four hex head bolts
(17) used in Fig. 1.
Screw both5/8" x 3" hex head (stabilizer) bolts
(14) through two 5/8" hex nuts (20) and then
through the two square weldnuts located on
the inside surface of bail assembly (11) (on
each side of hitch tube).
Adjust the stabilizer bolts until they are "flush"
with the outside surface of the bail assembly
(11 ).
NOTE: The stabilizer bolts should be loosened
before removing any attachments from the
tractor. Loosening these bolts will make it eas­
ier to remove the hitch pin and to line up hitch
pin when installing another attachment. If trac­
tor is to be used without a rear attachment, the
stabilizer bolts should be secured by tighten­
ing the hex nuts.
Insert the hitch pin (1) into hitch tube as shown
in Fig. 2 inset.
