OPERATION

ATTACHING WINDROWER TO TRACTOR

CAUTION: Shut off tractor, engage

parking brake and remove key before

working around hitch.

CAUTION: Never attach windrower to

tractor rear axle or three-point hitch

arms.

1. Using the jack, raise windrower tongue to clear

the hitch pin in drawbar extension. Position

tractor to align ball joint on tongue with hitch pin

and lower tongue. Secure with lock pin (A).

2. Route hitch chain from windrower through

chain support (B), around drawbar support and

lock hook (C) on chain.

IMPORTANT: Adjust chain length to remove all

slack except what is needed for turns.

3. Remove weight from jack. Pull pin securing

jack and move to storage position (D) on top of

frame tube.

4. NOTE: Pump attachment is easier if hitch is

angled to tractor, not straight on.

Slide the hydraulic pump assembly onto the

PTO shaft of the tractor. Adjust the torque arm

(E) so that it rests on the right side of the

drawbar.

IMPORTANT:

• Pump outlets must remain vertical. Loop the

torque arm chain (F) around the drawbar and

lock the chain in keyhole slot in torque arm

mounting plate.

• To prevent hose damage, route hoses through

guide (G) to provide proper hose arc as shown.

• Full engagement of PTO shaft into pump is

required to prevent damage to pump spline.
Pump should slide 2

½

" (64 mm) onto shaft.

• The pump must never be keyed or fastened to

the PTO shaft. If the drawbar pin should

become disengaged, the pump must be free to

slip off.
