Driving The Tractor Over The Front Mount Frame; Bolting The Frame To The Tractor Mounting Bracket - Schulte FM-350 Operator's Manual

Adjust the hydraulic hoses so that any excess hose is to the back, and then clamp down. Install any shielding
that may have been removed during adjustment of frame length.
Important: The FM-350 frame will accommodate tractors with lengths of 210" to 161" measured from the front
attachment point to the hitch pin, dimension 'A'. Tractors down to a dimension 'A' measurement of 156" can be
accommodated by cutting down the forward frame drive shaft. This shaft can be shortened by up to 22".
Consult Schulte's service department if it appears necessary to shorten this shaft.

Driving the Tractor over the Front Mount Frame

Carefully drive the tractor over the front mount
frame until the frame mounting holes on the
tractor mounting bracket are positioned over the
mounting hole cluster (3 vertical holes) on the
frame. A block may need to be positioned under
one tractor wheel in order for the tractor to clear
the frame.

Bolting the Frame to the Tractor Mounting Bracket

Lift the frame until the distance between the
forward lift pivot point and the ground, dimension
'E' is between 17 and 22". This height will be
dependent on available clearance between the
tractor and the frame. Allow room for the tractor's
front axle to pivot. When the back end of the
frame is raised to connect to the drawbar,
clearance to tractor components may be
reduced. Distances for dimension 'E' greater
than 22" may exceed the range of the hydraulic
cylinders to follow uneven terrain. Bolt the frame
to the tractor mounting bracket using two 1" x 3-
1/2" bolts with locknuts.
