AXLE BRACE INSTALLATION
With the tractor on jack-stands, remove the existing hardware on the rear axle where
the axle braces will be mounted. Use a hoist to raise the axle braces to the correctly
matching mounting holes on the rear axle and the main frame. Use the hardware shown in
the parts section to attach the braces to the tractor, DO NOT tighten until the main frame
has been positioned onto the axle braces. The main frame hardware will not be tightened at
this time.
When the main frame is in position, remove the capscrews one at a time and apply a
thread locking agent. Reinsert the capscrews and tighten / torque to values noted in the
torque chart located in the maintenance section of this manual.
