Mount Assembly Instructions
Refer to Figure 4
To assemble the side-mount tanks, you will need to re-
move the steps, the front fenders (if equipped) and
possibly other components to fit the tanks onto the
tractor.
1. Assemble the left (1) and right (2) side plates onto
the front of the tractor frame using the eight 5/8" x 2"
long carriage bolts, flat washers and flange nuts.
2. Mount the spreader bar (3) onto the left and right
side plates with the u-bolts, 5/8" flange nuts, and
washers but do not tighten the nuts completely.
3. Determine where the left (4) right (5) side rails will be
positioned so that when the tanks are mounted,
there will be sufficient clearance between the tires
and the tanks. You will have to slide the spreader bar
(3) to position where the rails will be.
4. Fasten the left (4) and right (5) side rails to the
spreader bar (3) with four 5/8" x 2" long carriage
bolts, flat washers, and flange nuts on each rail.
Support the rear of the rails by assembling a few of
the bolts in step 5.
5. After determining where the left and right rails (4 &
5) will be positioned, use the optimum holes in the
rear portion of the rails (4 & 5) with the two spacer
blocks (6), four backup angles (7), and the eight 5/8"
x 10" long bolts (8), flange nuts and washers.
6. Tighten all the hardware on all the components as-
sembled to the correct torque specifications listed
on page 56.
7. Assemble the front two tank rails (9) using the eight
5/8" x 2" long bolts, flat washers and flange nuts.
8. Assemble the rear to tank rails (10) using the four
5/8" x 5" bolts, four 5/8" x 2" long bolts and the eight
5/8" flange nuts and flat washers.
9. Position the notched tank on the left rails and the full
tank on the right rails with the tank caps toward the
outside.
!
WARNING
Lifting Hazard
-Use a crane or hoist to lift and position the tanks.
-The tanks can fall causing potential injury if not handled cor-
rectly.
Move the tanks so that there is sufficient clearance be-
tween the tanks and the tractor.
10. Assemble the angles (11) onto the outer holes in the
tank saddles (refer to Figure 1 on page 11) using the
3/4 x 1 3/4" long bolts, and flange nuts. There are
four angles on each saddle that support the four cor-
ners of the saddle.
11. Hook the four angle brackets (12) onto the rails for
each tank and bolt them to the angles (11) using the
1/2" x 1 3/4" long bolts, and flange nuts. Release the
overhead support of the tanks after they are secure-
ly fastened.
12. Check and make sure all nuts are torqued to the cor-
rect specs listed in the “Torque Values Table” on
page 58.
13. Proceed with the “Plumbing & Controls Instruc-
tions” on page 15.
