4.7.2 BELLY MOUNT SYSTEM
The backhoe can be mounted to smaller, low
horsepower tractors and provide excellent per-
formance. Dynamic loading during operation
can introduce high structural loads into the trac-
tor frame. A reinforcing frame can be installed
on each side to provide extra support. Contact
your dealer or the factory for details on the re-
inforcing kit for your specifi c tractor.
When mounting reinforcing kit follow this proce-
dure and the instructions provided with the kit:
1. Be sure that all bystanders, especially
small children are clear of the work area.
2. Stop engine, set park brake, remove igni-
tion key and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
3. Lay out reinforcing kit.
4. Slide the frame under the tractor.
5. Mount the anchor bracket to the tractor
frame. Add the spacer if required.
6. Raise the front of the frame and attach to
the anchor bracket.
7. Raise the rear of the frame and attach to
tractor.
8. Tighten all fasteners to their specifi ed
torque.
9. Always use tractor toplink with belly-
mounted subframe (tractor to backhoe - fi ts
below seat.).
