N. Your wiring is now complete - use this opportunity to completely go over the above
assembly instructions and check for any wiring mistakes. (NOTE: To improperly wire
your Tractor will run the risk of almost immediate "burnout" of Alternator, Regulator-
Rectifier, etc.) Charge Battery at this time using standard 12 volt Charger. Mount
#8 Front Cover over "front" of #6 Box and secure on each side with two of the sheet
metal screws provided.
0. Carefully bring #7 Cover down onto #6 Box and with two Sheet Metal Screws secure
each side of #7 Cover to sides of #6 Box. (NOTE: To avoid any possible shorting from
wires inadvertently touching each other or the Box, it is advisable to take electrical
tape and cover all exposed terminals on Ammeter and Switches.)
36. Slip four plastic coated #6J Retaining Clips over the #6I Wiring Harness at the
four locations of 5/16-18 Weldnuts welded to underside of Left #1AL Body Wall. Note
that the Clips are installed so that their flat side (slot side) will lie flat against
the underside of the Weldnut, and their "coated clip" portion will lie to the right of
the Weldnut. On each of four 5/16-18 x 1 Cap Screws, slip on one 5/16 Lock Washer
followed by three 5/16 WI Washers. From inside Tractor Body, insert each of these Cap
Screw Assemblies into underside of each of the above Retaining Clips and engage threads
of 5/16-18 Weldnuts. Smooth out the #6I Wiring Harness held by these Clips and form a
smooth path from #6 Battery Box to the engine. (Make Radius around corners smooth and
sweeping - do not kink Wiring Harness.) Tighten the (above) four Cap Screws and notice
that you now have the tips of the Cap Screws protruding out the top of #1AL Wall at four
locations. (NOTE: For tractors without electric starting Engines, omit above Step and
insert the following; slip one 5/16 Lock Washer followed by four 5/16 WI Washers over
each end of four 5/16-18 x 1 Cap Screws. Screw these Cap Screws into the "bottom" of
each of the 5/16-18 Weldnuts welded to underside of Left #1AL Body Wall and tighten.
NOTE: Insert left front 5/16-18 x 1 Cap Screw into 5/16 ID loop terminal of #6Z Wire
before inserting into its respective Weldnut - Tighten.
37. Take #45 Gas Line and slip a Pinch Clip over each end and slide up about 1". Slip
one end of the Gas Line over the "tapered stepped" outlet on "pet cock" on underside of
Gas Tank. Connect the other end of Gas Line to the "tapered stepped" inlet on right
top side of Engine Carburetor. On both ends, push Gas Line on as far as it goes. With
pliers carefully compress the ends of the Pinch Clips and slide them to approximately
3/8" from each end of Gas Line.
38. Slip the three remaining plastic coated Retaining Clips over the #45 Gas Line at
same intervals as the last three 5/16-18 Weldnuts on underside (rear) of Right #1AR Wall.
Similar to Step #36, assemble 5/16 Lock Washer and three 5/16 WI Washers over each end
of three 5/16-18 x 1 Cap Screws. Insert each in "slot side" of clip and engage underside
of its respective Weldnut. Check that Gas Line follows a smooth path from Gas Tank to
Carburetor and that the Retaining Clips lie flat against the underside of its respective
Weldnut making sure Gas Line is kept to the left of the Cap Screws. Tighten the three
Cap Screws. Insert 5/16-18 x 1 Cap Screw into 5/16 Lock Washer and then into four 5/16
WI Washers; tightly screw this into the remaining (furthest forward) 5/16-18 Weldnut on
underside of #1AR Wall.
39. On #55O-K19 Heavy Duty Track Chain, connect lengths together using Connector link
provided and secure with cotters. (Check to make sure that "offset" tabs on each link
are offset to the outside of the Track so that the Track Shoes may bolt flatly against
each link.) Loop above chain around Front and Rear Wheels #25 and #22. With both
Track Chains in place, draw up on the two 3/8-16 x 4-1/2 Cap Screws in #13 Expanders
to tighten the Chains; then lock in place with remaining 3/8 Lock Washer and Nut.
