Loosen
the
clamp which secures
the
level gauge rod
to
the
right
tilt
cylinder
and
adjust
it
slightly
if
necessary.
Level
the
loader bucket
and
mark
the

IMPORTANT
■
When the loader is removed from
the
tractor and the hoses are uncoupled from
the manifold adapter block, the flow control
switch
must
be
turned
back
to
the
"O"
posi-
tion. Failure
to
switch will cause blockage
of
the tractor hydraulic system, resulting in an
inoperable 3-point
hitch
and potential dam-
age to the hydraulic
pump.

to mounting pad located
on
the
tractor clutch housing. (The rear mount must
be
lifted at
an angle up above the foot platform and then allowed
to settle into place.) If the tractor is already equipped
with a mid-mount mower, remove
the
brackets attached
to the mounting pads on the
clutch
housing and discard
spacers before installing rear mount (2).
Reinstall

and
rests on
the
rear,
mounts
(2).
Insert hitch pins through rear mounts (2) and secure
with
hairpin cotter.
lighten
the

to
create
a
rigid
connection between
the
loader and the
mounting. Finally, check all loader mounting fasteners
and tighten securely.
Attaching the Bucket (Figure 30)
Loosen
and
remove the capscrews securing
the
tab
pins in
the
bucket brackets. Remove
the
pins
from
the
bucket
before
lifting
it
into position
at
the
front
of
the
loader boom. Pin the bucket to
the
boom using
the
lower holes.
Use
the
upper holes
for
connecting
the
tilt cylinders
to
the bucket. Secure
tab
pins
using
capscrews
and
locknuts removed earlier.
