Assembly Section 2-3
ASSEMBLY
MAIN FRAME MOUNTING
It may be necessary to raise the front of the tractor slightly to allow the main
frame to be slid under the tractor. With an overhead hoist or floor jack, slide the
frame under the tractor from the right hand side. Raise the frame up to the correctly
matching mounting holes. Install the capscrews and all other hardware as shown in
the main frame parts section. Remove the capscrews one at a time and apply a
Loc-Tite to the threads. Reinsert the capscrews and tighten / torque to the values
noted in the torque chart located in the maintenance section of this manual.
ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Raise rear of tractor onto jack-stands and adjust tires / rims all the way out.
Follow the instructions in the tractor owners manual for adjusting tires and
rims. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of tractor.
Do not reinstall wheels onto tractor until valve has been mounted (cab), and all hoses
have been installed
POLYCARBONATE SAFETY WINDOW
NOTE: In most cases this should be done before mounting the main frame.
Carefully remove the existing right rear cab window, to be replaced with the matching
polycarbonate window provided.
Clean all of the surfaces around the window opening, once the rear window is
removed. Peel back the protective paper from the area around the window that will
contact the window frame. Apply a bead of urethane window adhesive, supplied in kit,
around the window opening. Carefully position the new window into position. Fill the
remainder of the gap around the window with the adhesive, to finish. Be sure to
follow the instructions on the adhesive label when installing window.
Next, install the upper and lower door hinges along with the existing cab door
hinges. To do this, you will remove the existing hinge hardware and install the existing
hardware on the polycarbonate as shown. Set the safety screen assembly on the
hinges and attach the door to the tractor frame. Install the brackes with the hardware
shown in the parts section. Assemble the rod with the vibration isolator and nuts and
attach them to the brackets. Adjust the vibration isolator on the upper and lower
brackets to achieve a good fit with the window.
Installing a boom mower requires that all right side windows be replaced or
shielded by a lexan safety window.
