serious damage to the hydraulic pump.

INSTALLING O-RING FITTINGS
Installing straight, 45º and 90º O-rings requires that the O-ring and washer be up against the
swivel body. Insert the swivel and turn in until the swivel is pointed in the desired direction and O-
ring contact is made. Hold swivel in set direction with a wrench and turn the O-ring nut away
from the swivel body and carefully tighten.
(ASM-C-0056)
INSTALLING NATIONAL PIPE FITTINGS
Whenever installing a pipe fitting, wrap the threads clockwise (looking at the end) with
teflon tape. In this way, the tape will be tightened when installed. NOTE: It is not
necessary to tape O-ring fittings, or those installed in swivels.

GENERAL HOSE INSTALLATION
Refer to the Parts Section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this
application.
(ASM-C-0011)
TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOUNTING
(OPTIONAL)
Mount the temperature gauge where it is clearly visible to the operator. Attach the green (-)
wire from the negative post on the gauge to a grounded bolt on the tractor frame. Remove paint
if needed to make a good ground. Remove the pipe plug from the side of the hydraulic reservoir
and install the temperature sensor using thread sealing tape. Run the white wire from the (s)
sensor post of the gauge to the temperature sensor on the hydraulic reservoir tank.
(ASM-C-0051)
FUEL TANK REMOVAL
The JD M-series tractors have a two section fuel tank. The large, outside section
must be removed and replaced by the Tiger fuel tank that is provided. This should be done
in the following way.
First drain the fuel tank of all fuel before removing. Remove the brackets that hold the
fuel tank to the tractor. Loosen and remove the fuel lines that connect the two tanks
together. There is an access plate in the floor of the tractor under the floor matt. Keep
the hose clamps to be reused when attaching the Tiger fuel tank. Unplug the electrical
cable that is attached to the fuel sensor on top of the tank. You should then be able to
manuever the tank off of the tractor. Remove the fuel sensor, screws, and rubber
grommet to be reused with the new Tiger fuel tank.
