c)
Slide the coulter shank into position as shown in Figure 8. Clamp the coulter shank in place
by tightening each of the bolts a little at a time until the coulter shank is secured in place.
d)
Attach the coulter arm to the coulter shank using the coulter clamp to hold it in place. Add
the cotter pin to the hole in the bottom of the coulter shank. This pin will retain the coulter
arm if the bolt on the coulter clamp casting becomes loose.

e)
Bolt the coulter blade to the coulter arm. Adjust the height of the coulter blade so the bottom
of the blade is aligned with the top of the torpedo tube. If the center line of the coulter blade
is not aligned with the center of the knife, loosen the coulter shank clamps and reposition
them to move them into alignment. Position the coulter clamp so the coulter is free to swing
around an arc centered on the knife and torpedo tube. Assembly of the coulter assembly is
now complete and should appear similar to that shown in Figure 9.
