Figure 4.5 Assembly Step 5
4.2.6 Drawbar & Hitch Assembly
Remove the drawbar pivot pins from the front cross member as well as the top cylinder pin.
Remove the cylinder pin from the drawbar and the hitch mounting bolts. Apply grease to the
inside of the seals in the drawbar. Lift the drawbar into place and align the main pivot bushes
with the pivot pin holes. Take care to ensure the pin hole in the cross beam aligns to the bush so
that the pin can be inserted without damaging the wiper seals.
Insert the pin with the use of a soft hammer or mallet until the pin is mostly through the bush. It
is recommended to get both pins mostly through the bush before completely inserting. This gives
more adjustment in getting the second bush aligned.
If the pin becomes difficult to drive all the way, a larger hammer and block of wood can be used
however this should only be done once the pin is all the way through both seals and the bush.
Install the keeper plates and M16x30 hex screws with spring washers.
NOTE: Damaging the wiper seals during assembly voids the warranty on that bush as it is
critical that dirt and dust is kept out of the bush to maintain a full service life.
NOTE: Anti-sieze compound should be applied to all pins which are to be installed into the
hydraulic cylinder clevis bearings.
