ASSEMBLY
Assembly Section 2-3
DRIVESHAFT AND FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Install driveshaft into the crankshaft adapter.
Slide splined driveshaft coupler onto the pump driveshaft. Install the pump onto the
mounting bracket. NOTE: the pump is offset to one direction and the pump should be
installed with the offset side on top. Install hardware for securing pump to the pump mount,
DO NOT tighten.
Install pump and align so that splined coupling can be moved (FREE PLAY) back and
forth by hand. Rotate coupler and check free play every 1/4 turn. Tighten pump mounting
bolts in succession, rechecking for spline coupling free play. Remove the pump mounting
bracket bolts one at a time and apply a thread locking agent. Tighten these bolts in
succession, again checking for free play in the driveshaft. After all bolts are torqued, the end
play on the driveshaft should be 1/16” to 1/8”, and coupler should move freely with hand
pressure. If end play is less than 1/16”, grind the end of the shaft to achieve the proper end
play. If there is more than 1/4” of end play, return the shaft with specifications for a longer
shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED,
ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Raise rear of tractor onto jack-stands. Follow the instructions in the tractor owner’s
manual for adjusting tires and rims . The back wheels MUST be adjusted to the widest
setting. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of tractor. Also take
note of any width restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of installation, it is best to
leave the rear wheels removed during installation of the mower.)

POLYCARBONATE SAFETY WINDOW
NOTE : Installing a boom mower requires that all right side windows be replaced or
shielded by a lexan safety window. In most cases this should be done before mounting the
mainframe. Carefully remove the existing right side cab windows, to be replaced with the
matching polycarbonate windows provided.
Clean all of the surfaces around the window opening, once the right side windows are
removed. Peel back the protective paper from the area around the window that will contact the
window frame. Apply a bead of urethane window adhesive, supplied in kit, around the window
opening. Carefully position the new window into position. Fill the remainder of the gap around
the window with the adhesive to finish. Be sure to follow the instructions on the adhesive label
when installing window.
Next, install the upper and lower door hinges along with the existing cab door hinges.
To do this, you will remove the existing hinge hardware and install the existing hardware on the
polycarbonate as shown in the Parts Section. Set the safety screen assembly on the hinges and
attach the door to the tractor frame. Install the brackets with the hardware shown in the Parts
Section. Assemble the rod with the vibration isolator and nuts and attach them to the brackets.
Adjust the vibration isolator on the upper and lower brackets to achieve a good fit with the
window.
