If the bulkhead bracket (PN: 18-14370) is not factory installed, attach to the undercarriage with 2 - 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts
(PN: 16-20125) and 1/2” at washers (PN: 57-20744). See pages 7 and 12-14 for bulkhead ttings, steel lines, and hose locations.
If bulkhead covers (PN: 44-14375 & 44-14376) are not factory installed, verify that all hydraulics are installed correctly and then
attach the covers to the U/C with 6 - 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts (PN: 16-20125) and 1/2” at washers (PN: 57-20744).
NOTE: If rear 1” bolts are installed on the undercarriage, back out so the undercarriage will t on the rear plate on the
tractor frame.
Drill out holes in the tractor frame that line up with the front holes on the undercarriage to 1”.
Position the undercarriage (U/C) under tractor and center on the frame of the tractor.
Lift the rear of the U/C up and set the top plates of the U/C on the cross member. Push the U/C back until the vertical push plates
are rmly against the cross member. Lift the U/C to within 3/4” of touching the tractor frame.

the tractor frame that line up with the front vertical holes of the U/C.
After all bolts are through the tractor frame and U/C, attach with a 1” heavy washer (PN: 57-3682) and a 1” nut (PN: 70-20599).
Verify that the rear of the U/C is rmly against the cross member.
At the rear of the undercarriage and pivot area of the tractor, hook the rear hose routing bracket to the tractor frame and bolt to the

The nut will t between the plates on the brackets. See attached diagram for clarication.
Center the bracket on the undercarriage and tractor as close as you can. Torque the 1” bolts to 600 ft.
between the bracket and the undercarriage.
Tighten the rear vertical bolts up tight against the bottom of the tractor frame. Torque the rear vertical 1” bolts to 500-600 ft.lbs.
Torque front 1” vertical bolts to 903 ft-lbs..
Attach the upper support arms (PN: 11-17740-R,L) to the U/C with 2 - 1” x 3-1/2” bolts (PN: 16-20564), 4 - 1” heavy duty at washer
(PN: 57-20819), and 2 - 1” nuts (PN: 70-20599) on each side of the U/C.
Attach the upper support arms to the tractor with a 1-1/4” x 3-1/2” bolt (PN: 16-20896) and a 1-1/4” at washer (PN: 57-11671) on

Attach the quad yoke brackets (PN: 18-14550-R,L) to each side of the U/C with 6 - 1” x 2” bolts (PN: 16-20558) and a 1” x .375”
thick washer (PN: 57-3682) on each bolt.
Dip the previously removed 24mm bolts in W30 oil and install the yoke brackets with the 24mm bolt and a heavy at washer
(PN: 57-20819) on each bolt.
Once all bolts have been installed, torque the 1-1/4” bolts to 1,105 ft.lbs., the 1” bolts to 903 ft.lbs, and the 24mm bolts to 555 ft.lbs
Bolt the side bolt cover (PN: 44-15575) to both sides of the undercarriage with 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts (PN: 16-20125) and a 1/2” at
