Assembly

This section covers the proper assembly of the implement. The reference numbers on the

figures give you an indication of the order of assembly. For a complete breakdown of any part not
shown in this assembly section, refer to the parts manual for proper location. Refer to the Appendix
for proper bolt torque values.

Center Torque Tube & Walking Beam Assembly

After uncrating the machine, place the

center frame (1) Figure 1, in the center of your
work area on stands. Pin the torque tube (2) to
the center frame with the 1 1/4 x 6 pins (3) and
1 1/4 x 7 pin (4), secure them with 3/8 x 2 1/4
hex bolts GR8 (5) & top lock nuts.

Slide the pivot spindle of the walking

beam assembly (6) into the sleeve at the end of
the torque tube wheel arm. Take note of the
Left and Right Walking Beam Assembly (6).

The Flip Over Stop goes Toward Rear and
Grease Zerk up. It is a good idea to put some
form of anti-seize on the spindle before you
insert it. Line up the hole in the spindle with
the hole in the sleeve and secure with 5/16 x 4
1/2 hex bolt (7) with lock washer and hex nut.

When both walking beams have been

installed, bolt on the 11L x 15, F-ply tires (8)
with the 5/8” lug nuts (9).
