   Offer up frame to tractor and adjust to 

give required length.  Distance “X” to be 
kept to the minimum ensuring the machine 
is close coupled, as a guide set the same 
as original. Attach tractor lift links to frame 
with suitable pins.

 

 

Note:

 The hole sizes may not match the 

tractor links, this will not matter as the 
machines weight will be carried on the 
stabilisers.
