attached to the cutter and secured with attachment
pin (#8).
3. Back tractor within close proximity of cutter hitch.
4. Raise or lower the parking jack (#3) to align hitch
(#10) with bolt hole in swivel clevis (#9).
5. Back tractor up to cutter swivel hitch (#9) until hole in
hitch weldment with bushing (#10) aligns with holes
in swivel clevis (#9).
