10. Remove the existing bolt
. With the short tab of the
bracket
(bracket hole
) facing to the right and
down, insert the removed bolt and re-secure to trac-
tor.

11. Select one:
12. Remove the existing bolts
. Using the same bolts,
secure the long tab (with the larger holes
bracket
with the short tab facing forward and
right.
JD RFS: Check Sensor Extension
13. Turn the tractor front wheels straight forward. Shut
off tractor.
14. Select the sensor assembly
. Loosen the gimbal
collar
. Gently pull the sensor rod to centered
extension, as determined at step 7 on page 42, with
yoke center bolt down, and rod-end bolt up.
Note: When trial fitting, make sure sensor does not con-
tact any tractor components. Use alternate mount
and pivot holes as necessary to obtain clearance.
15. Determine which bracket holes sensor fits. Mark
those holes, but do not mount the sensor at this
time. At the inboard end, use the left end tab hole
if possible. At the outboard end, use center tab
hole
if possible.
If sensor is too short, move collar toward connector
end (base) of sensor. Do not block vent hole. If sen-
sor is still too short, use alternate hole
board bracket.
If sensor is too long, move collar toward rod end of
sensor.
Note holes and collar position with a marker.
Note: Sensor will tilt up slight from inboard to outboard.
16. Remove the sensor assembly. Check that vent hole
is unobstructed and facing down. Tighten bolt
at
top of collar to Grade 2 specification.
17. Turn the tractor front wheels fully to the left. Shut off
tractor.
