The Side Rails. This should already be
done but Check it before you are finished weld-
ing. These Frame rails will be welded to the
Rail Support Plates, so it will be necessary to
scrape the paint off approximately 5/8" of the
base before attaching. Clamp Side Rails to
Front Mount Supports.
(See Figure
55).
Tack-weld rails to Front Mount Brackets. After
thorough check for horizontal and parallel lo-
cation, weld a solid 1/4" fillet weld bead 8" long
on both sides. (See Figure 56). Note that any
Step Type Counter Weight must clear the Left
Rear Tire.
Figure 55
NOTE: This step may vary from tractor to tractor,
if larger than normal Tires have been installed.
7.
The Pig Tail Brackets will be welded
to the underside of the Rails, so it will be
necessary to scrape the paint off from this
area before attaching and welding them (See
Figure 57). These Pigtails are to hold the
Hoses up. Be sure to run the hoses for the
Boom through these Pigtail rings.
NOTE: All parts are painted. When welding is
required, scrape away the paint in the area to
1/4"
be welded to help assure the integrity of the
weld.
