UNLOADING & ASSEMBLY
PREPARE TRACTOR FOR HAY CONDITIONER
1. Attach conditioner float spring support (H) to
tractor left floorboard using three 1/2 x 1-1/4
carriage bolts, flatwashers, lockwashers and
nuts.
NOTE: If rear hole in support (H) does not line
up with an existing hole in tractor floorboard,
attach support at front two holes and drill a
17/32 hole through floorboard using rear hole
in support as a guide.
Connect float spring to support using 5/8 x 4-1/2
thread full length hex bolt and nut. Tighten to
attain a 1/4 inch (6 mm) gap from nut (J) to
support (H) when nut is locked against spring
insert.
3. Block tractor lift linkage to support weight of
R/H lift linkage. Remove retaining bolt on
existing pin and tap in new pin, removing old
pin at the same time. Re-install retaining bolt
through pin.
NOTE: Ensure hole in pin will be located on
onboard side of tractor leg.
For high clearance models (MacDon/Westward 9352, Prairie Star 4952, Premier 2952. Harvest Pro 8152):
1. Replace Z-shaped float spring support (H)
shown above with plate (M). Turn draw bolt
so that thread showing at (N) is 1-1/4” (32
mm) and tighten nut against spring plug at
(P). Mount spring in hole (Q) for tractors
equipped with shallow angle kit, and hole (S)
for tractors without shallow angle kit.
NOTE: For lighter conditioner float, decrease
dimension (N). For heavier float, increase
