Relocate Wing Lift Cylinder Mount
Refer to Figure 1-22:
The rephasing lift cylinder is shipped from the factory
moved forward 2 1/2". Mounting bracket (#1) must be
relocated 2 1/2" rearward as follows:
1. With wing unfolded, lower cutter down until wing is
resting on its skid shoe and transport wheel(s). If
needed, place a support block under the wing skid
shoe to ensure wing is resting on its skid shoe and
transport wheel(s).
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
3. Move tractor hydraulic deck lift control lever back and
forth several times to relieve all hydraulic pressure in
the deck lift hydraulic system.
4. Remove all five whiz nuts (#3), cap screw (#5) and
carriage bolts (#2). Keep carriage bolts (#2) and four
hex whiz nuts (#3) for reuse. Discard cap screw (#5)
and one hex whiz nut (#3).
5. Remove mounting bracket (#1) from between
mounting ears (#4). If bracket will not remove easily,
use hydraulics to extend and retract lift cylinders
several times until mounting bracket is free.
6. Using tractor control lever, fold wing deck up high
enough to place a support block under its skid shoe.
Use a 4" support block if cutter is equipped with
21" laminated tires and a 6" support block if cutter is
equipped with 29" aircraft tires.
7.
Unfold wing deck until its skid shoe is resting on the
4" or 6" support block.

9. Extend or retract hydraulic lift cylinder on the wing
until rear holes “A” in mounting bracket (#1) are slight
back of holes “A” in mounting ears (#4).
10. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
11. Attach a hoist or jack under the right-hand wing
wheel axle and raise wheels up until carriage
bolts (#2A) can be inserted. If needed, use a drift
punch to align rear holes “A”.
12. Insert rear carriage bolts (#2A) as shown and install
hex whiz nuts (#3A). Draw nuts up snug, do not
tighten at this time.
13. Use a drift punch in holes “C” to align front holes “B”.
14. Insert front carriage bolts (#2B) in holes “B” as shown
and install hex whiz nuts (#3B).
15. Tighten hex whiz nuts (#3A & #3B) to the correct
torque.
16. Remove hoist or jack from under the transport
wheels.
17. Raise wing up enough to remove support block from
under its skid shoe.
18. Remove support block and return wing to its unfolded
position.
