INITIAL INSTALLATION
Manual Lift Models
LIFT LINK - EARLY VS. LATER
The early model lift link (A, Figure 5) was used on early
production Conquest/1700/2700 Series tractors. It must
be replaced with the later model lift link (B) included with
this attachment. The later model link works in all appli-
cations. Discard the early model link (A).
LIFT LINK POSITION
The lift link is installed differently depending on what
attachment is being used. Refer to Figure 6 for link
installation information.
Hydraulic Lift Models

spring loaded so it will need to be held in the down
position to perform of the following procedures.
2. Remove and retain the flat head pin (B, Figure 7) and
hair pin clip (E) securing the lift cylinder (A) to the lift
shaft assembly (F). Remove and retain the flat wash-
ers.
3. Mount the lock plate (D) next to the cams on the lift
shaft assembly (F) as shown.
