Connect the lower arm to the top arm as shown in Figure 23. Be sure the bolt goes through the loop on the
spring inside the top arm. The lower arm will need to be raised up at an angle to line everything up.

Attaching the Drum Unit
Position the drum unit so that the center pivot holes line up when the arm assembly is pushed down. If you are
working by yourself, using a ratchet strap to pull down the spring loaded arm will make this operation easier.

The centers must be lined up before driving the pin through the hole. Use a long screwdriver, long punch, or
something similar to line up the holes. Do not force the pin through, as you can damage the plastic bushings. A
little oil on the pin can help. Use the top link to adjust the angle and adjust the three point height on the tractor
to put in best position. Use patience as the pin will not go through easily until it is lined up well. Try nudging
the drum unit to get all holes aligned at the same time.
