5. MK130 Plus 81’: attach the lift-assist arm to the center hole on the track
shoe with an 11/16” short spacer and flat washer on each side and a 1" x 10"
bolt and locknut.
Tighten securely (Figure 3.7).
3.3. TOW BAR

The MK130 Plus auger has an adjustable tow bar. The tow bar is installed as
seen in Figure 3.8.
1. Insert the tow bar into the boot channel. Secure with a 3/4” x 6-1/2” long bolt
and locknut through the back hole in the boot channel, under the boot.
2. Insert a 5/8” x 4-1/2” long bolt and locknut vertically into the hole at the front
of the boot so that the towbar comes straight out of the boot.
• This bolt must be inserted from the bottom with the nut on top.
Note: The tow bar can be adjusted if a speed reducing gearbox is used with the
system. In this case, the tow bar is extended and pinned on an angle using the
vertical bolt. This will line up the PTO with the PTO connection on the gearbox.
3. Install the PTO cradle bracket
on the boot. Attach bracket
with two 7/16” x

1-1/4” bolts and locknuts.
