Center Gang & Gang Hanger Assembly
At this time it is best to hang the center
gangs and center gang hanger tubes before you
install the hitch and hitch strut assembly.
U-bolt the center gang hanger tube(s)
(1) to the center brace bar with 5/8 x 4 x 4 1/4
u-bolts (2), with lock washers and hex nuts, See
Figure 6. Line up the levers on the hanger tubes
with the ratchet jack/cylinder mounts on the
brace bar. Pin the preassembled center gangs
(3) & (4) to the center frame with the 1 x 5 1/2
pins (5) see Section 3 Machine Layout for
proper gang sizes. Secure with 3/8 x 2 1/4 GR 8
hex bolts and lock nuts. Slide the spring
washer (7) & spring (8) on to the gang spring
bolt (6) as shown and slide it up into the cast
swivel on the gang hanger tubes. Place a 1”
flat washer on the spring bolt and thread the 1”
hex nut and 1” jam nut onto the spring bolt (6).
Pin the other end to the gang with 3/4 x 2 1/2
clevis pins (9), secure with 1/8 x 1 1/2 cotters.
Finally tighten down the nuts on the spring bolt
until the spring has a preload length of 8 3/4”.
