GR8 bolt and a 1/2” locknut, and a 2” flat washer, 7/16” x 3 -1/2” bolt, and
7/16” locknut on each side. Tighten securely.

a. Align the lift assist with the track shoe, and insert the track shoe pin
through the lift assist and the track shoe (see Figure 3.28 for the correct
insertion side).

3-1/2” bolt and locknut. Tighten securely.
8. Attach upper lift arms to the lift assist bracket as follows:
a. Raise and support the top of the upper lift arms into position on either side
of the lift assist, aligned with the frame pin holes on the lift assist.
b. Insert the tube frame pin through the top of the upper lift arms and lift
assist.
c. Secure the frame pin in place using a upper lift arm bushing, a
7/16” x 3-1/2” bolt, and a 7/16” locknuts on each side of the frame pin.
