CAUTION
Do not work on or under this machine unless
securely blocked and supported by a hoist or
tractor or by other sufficient means.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, rockshaft, and pull hitch) manually. Use a
hoist or a fork lift to move these parts into
position.
NOTE
Refer to the repair parts manual F-981 for identification of
parts and for the approximate relationship of the parts in
assembly.
To ensure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts
loose until completion of final assembly. Use lock
washers or flat washers as specified. Spread all cotter
pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all nuts
evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding.
Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques.
IMPORTANT
•
If pre-assembled parts or fasteners are temporarily
removed, remember where they go. It is best to keep
parts separated.
•
Check that all working parts move freely, bolts are
tight and cotter pins spread.
•
Refer to the Torque Table for proper torque valves.
Note the different torque requirements for bolts with
locknuts. See Page 5-1.
"Left" and "Right" refer to directions seen as if standing
behind the machine and facing in the direction of forward
travel.

Frame Installation
NOTE
Prior to starting assembly refer to Figure 2-3 for proper
frame placement dimensions. After laying out the
dimensions use a chalk or other marker to help place the
components.
1. Position the Rockshaft on a level surface under the
designated frame assembly area. This will aid in ease
of assembly. See Figure 2-4.
2. Using blocks or other supports, block up the Right
Hand Center Frame approximately 36". Ensure that it
is secure and cannot topple. The Rockshaft should be
positioned approximately halfway between the
supports.
3. Attach the Front and Rear Roller Frame Assembly to
the Right Hand Center Frame Assembly. The Right
Hand Center Frame Assembly consists of an outside
and inside tube. Assemble the outside frame tube
using two 3/4-10 U-Bolts, and Locknuts. Assemble
the inside frame tube using four 3/4-10 x 2-1/2 Bolts
and Locknuts. Do Not tighten at this time. Be sure to
support roller frames.
The process for assembling the Left Hand Center Frame
is the same as the Right Hand. See Figure 2-5.
4. Double check mounting dimensions at this time.
5. Join the front Right and Left Hand Frames together
with Front Cross Tube. Secure with 3/4-10 x 2-1/2
Bolts, Flat Washers and Locknuts. Join the rear Right
and Left Hand Frames with Rear Wing Rest Tube.
Secure using 3/4 x 5-1/4 Pins, Flat Washers and 1/4
x 1-1/2 Roll Pins.
6. Tighten all frame hardware.
7. On the inside frame, position the Front Roller Support
Plate under the Front Roller Frame Tube and secure
with eight 3/4-10 x 2-1/2 Bolts and Locknuts. See
Figure 2-2.
