Before You Start
Review these instructions, and make sure you under-
stand where and how the components install, and which
existing parts are removed or re-used.
Components in the two kits covered by the manual differ,
based on the serial number of your implement. Sections
specific to particular serial numbers indicate whether to
apply or skip that section.
Enough parts are included to update a 9-shank imple-
ment. There may be excess parts on 5- and 7-shank
implements.

trations shows the directions of Left,
