STEP 22: INSTALL SIDE PLATES
(SEE FIGURE 21)
• Remove any bolts present in the mounting holes on
the left side of the tractor frame. Do not remove bolts
from right side of frame until done with left side plate.
• Fasten the left (long) side plate to the tractor frame
using three 3/8" x 1" hex bolts (E), 3/8" small washers
(FF), and 3/8" lock washers (DD). If there is a bracket
like the one shown with dotted lines, use a 3/8" large
washer (HH) as a shim on the rear bolt. Do not
tighten yet. Repeat for the right (long) side plate.
STEP 23: INSTALL FRAME BRACE
(SEE FIGURE 22)
• Install the frame brace between the side plates using
two 1/2" x 1-3/4" bolts (B), large 1/2" large washers
(JJ), 1/2" spacers (Y) and 1/2" nylock nuts (O). Use the
second hole from the bottom in the plates. Tighten.
• Tighten 3/8" x 1" hex bolts (E) in side plates only until
they are snug and the lock washers are attened.
• Skip to step 25 on page 14.
