5. Install Center Frame Weldment. The Center Frame Weldment has a front and a back side (LH
& RH side). The Center frame must be installed with the two openings (See Figure 26) toward the front
of the tractor. These openings are to allow for the movement of the swing cylinders when moving the
boom to the boom rest position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When bolting the center frame up to the front and rear frame mounting
rails the bolts on the RH turret side must have the bolts installed from the bottom with the bolt heads on
bottom under center under frame and the nuts on top (See Figure 27 showing nuts on top). The reason
the nuts must be on top is so the bolts will not hit the swing cylinders when the turret assembly has been
mounted. The Bolts that are used to mount center frame are not the same lentgh. The 8 bolts for the rear
fame bracts (bolts that face the rear of the tractor) will be 3/4" X 3-1/2" long. The other twelve bolts will be
3/4" X 2-1/4" long. All 20 Bolts that at are used to mount center frame MUST have hardened flat washers
install on both sides, one under Bolt Head and one under Nut (See Figure 26 & 27)
Using floor jacks (or Fork lift) position the center frame weldment up under the tractor (See Figure
27). The center frame weldment will bolt to the front and rear mounting rails on both sides. Make Certain
to use hardened flatwashers on all 3/4" and 20 mm bolts, when using nut on bolts it will need two
hardened washers, one on each side (See Figure 27) . Double check the frame mounting bolt tightness.

6. Install Boom Rest Weldment. The boom rest weldment for the 24 foot boom and the 30 ft.
boom are not the same (See Figure 29). The boom rest weldment bolts to the RH Side on the Rear
Frame mount weldment behind the tractor axle weldment (See Figure 30). It is recommended that this
be installed using an overhead hoist and supported by the hoist until boom rest and support brace
(See Figure 28 & 30) are completely installed. The Boom Rest Support also serves as the top axle
strap for the RH Axle mount (See Figure 30).
