Mounting F.E.L.B. with Loader Attachment Brackets
1.) Center A-Frame (1TBP29A) in front of the Tractor. Position one or both Loader Brackets (1TBP170) to align
with each of the Tractor Loader Arms, depending on width. Refer to Figure 12.
2.) Fully seat the tongue and groove cutouts of the L & R Loader Brackets into A-Frame Rear Cross Brace.
NOTE
3.) Verify 1/8" clearance on either side of Tractor Loader Arms. Attach the outboard L& R Loader Brackets
to A-Frame Rear Cross Brace by bolting through the slots in the A-Frame. Use 1/2" x 1-3/4" Bolts in top of
A-Frame (2 per bracket). Use 1-1/2" length Bolts in all other holes (3 per Bracket).
NOTE
4.) Position inboard Brackets with a 1/8" clearance and clamp in place. Drill 9/16" holes into the A-Frame Cross-
Brace using the holes in the Loader Brackets as guides. Bolt inboard Brackets to A-Frame Rear Cross Brace
with 1/2" x 1-3/4" Bolts in the top of the A-Frame (2 per Bracket) and 1-1/2" length Bolts in all other holes.
Torque all Loader Bracket Bolts to 98 ft./lbs.

NOTES
IMPORTANT
Position L & R Loader Brackets so that the outboard bracket bolt holes line up with
slots in Rear A-Frame Cross-Brace. This may result in two of the same bracket on each
Loader Arm depending on Loader Arm width.
Install 1-1/2" Bolt through front of A-Frame Cross Brace first.
• Loader Brackets L & R are to be bolted to the A-Frame in accordance with the I.D. and
O.D. of Loader Arms. Tongue and Groove design allows installer to slide Brackets into
position. Leave 1/8" clearance for Easy On/Easy Off.
• Due to Tractor Loader Arm variations, Dealer/Customer is to supply Attachment Pins.
Curtis recommends a Grade 8 Bolt and Nylon Locknut of the proper length and diameter.
After 2 hours of use, all bolted assemblies on the F.E.L.B. should be rechecked for
proper torque specifications and tightened as needed.
