Swing up the lifting frame and couple the
top link (B). The top hole and distance
piece is used with Ford and British
Leyland tractors. The top link on Massey
Ferguson and David Brown trac tors is
fitted to the lower hole without a distance
piece.
5. (Fig. 9). Reverse tractor to gang mower
and hitch up the draught eye (A) inserting
the pin from the top.
6. (Fig. 5). Place long end of the lifting chain
over the pulley (L) and secure to lugs (M)
on main frame. Check that the spring (N)
is in position on the chain. It should be
positioned between the short chains 15
cm (6") from the central ring.
7. (Fig. 9). Set tractor drawbar using tractor
hy draulics until centre of lifting spindle
is 32 cm (12.5cm) from the ground, as
illustrated. Move tractor forward a little to
apply a load to the draught eye and check
that the swivel arms (B) are midway in
the guide plate, when the outfit is on
level ground. The swivel arm must not
foul the top or bottom of the guide plates
as in work this will result in poor ground
following and bending of components.
Adjust length of the top link so that the
lifting frame is vertical. Lock top link.
