18.1 Fasten the backhoe cab footers to the backhoe floor
board sides (see Figure 18.1, outriggers hidden for
clarity). Place the 3/8 fender washer over the shoulder
screw, then sandwich the 5/16 fender washer between
the backhoe cab footers and the backhoe floor board
sides. The new footers should then be able to float a
little side to side. Tighten hardware.
