MODELS 45 & 50 SCRAPER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. A suitable hoist or lift should be available for assembly.
2. Pack wheel bearing with grease and install hubs to rear spindles and front axle assem-
bly. Be sure to follow the bearing numbers as shown in the parts listing as the front hubs
require different bearings than the rear.
3. Raise actuating frame over bucket and lower into place so that the holes in the arms of
the actuating frame align with the rear hole on each side of the bucket. Insert 1 ¼ ” x 2-9/
16” pin (with tab type head) from the inside of the bucket. Secure with 5/8” x 1 ¼ ” NF
bolt through bucket side with locking nut to the outside.
4. Connect actuating arm bars to the front holes in the bucket. In doing so, be sure that
the cast roller on the opposite end of the actuating arm is in the up position and facing
inward. Insert 1 ¼ x 2-9/16 ” pin (with tab type head) from the inside of the bucket.
Secure with 5/8” x 1 ¼ ” NF bolt through the bucket side with locking nut to the outside.
5. Connect a short chain from the cutting edge to the cross pipe of the actuating frame,
then raise this bucket and actuating assembly over the main frame and lower into place so
that the front of the actuating frame can be connected to the 1 ½ ” ID bearing on each side
of the main frame. Secure with 1 ½ ” x 5-5/8” pins on each side. Lock these pins in place
by turning the pin until the hole in the head aligns with threaded hole in the actuating
frame, then secure with ½” x 1” NC capscrew and lockwasher.
6. Lift front end of actuating arms and connect to the brackets on the front frame cross
member using the 1 ¼ ” x 4-1/8” pins. Secure with ¼” x 2” cotter pin.
7. Raise the apron assembly over the scraper and lower into position so that the holes in
the arms of the apron align with the holes in the bucket sides. Insert the 1 ¼ ” to 1”
shoulder pin through the apron arms and into the bucket. Install lock nut inside the bucket
and tighten securely.
8. Install hydraulic cylinders to main frame and actuating frame with rod end to actuating
frame. Be sure the grease hole in the rod end is facing up. Use 1-1/8 x 3 ¼” pin at the
base of the cylinder. Secure with 3/16” x 1 ½ ” cotter pins. Use 1-1/8 ” x 6” pin at the rod
end of the cylinder. Secure with 1” x ½” NC capscrew and lockwasher.
9. Install 3/8” 90° swivel adapters into front and rear port on each cylinder. Tighten so
that the hose connection faces the rear.
10. Connect a 3/8” x 18” hose from the rear port of each cylinder to one of the pipe lines
on the rear cross frame. Be sure both hoses from the rear ports are connected to the same
pipe line.
11. Connect a 3/8” x 38” hose from the front port of each cylinder to the remaining pipe
line on the rear cross frame.
