Introduction
The Road-Friendly Transport™allows a MacDon R113/R116 Rotary Disc Pull-Type to stay within width restrictions for most
roads and highways while being towed.
This document explains how to install the transport onto the R113/R116 Rotary Disc Pull-Type. A list of parts included in
the kit is provided. Refer to 2 Parts List, page 5.
NOTE:
If installing this kit on a pull-type from model year 2019 or prior, order two washers (MD #18670) separately. These
washers are required to prevent damage to the slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign when reinstalling the sign.
NOTE:
If installing this kit on a pull-type from model year 2018 or prior, order one transport pin kit (MD #259258) separately. This
kit is required to install the hitch pin. On pull-types equipped with finger conditioners, this kit also adds clearance for the
center shield. Install the new finger conditioner center shield components before installing the Road-Friendly Transport™
kit. These Road-Friendly Transport™kit instructions explain when to install the hitch pin components provided in the
transport pin kit (MD #259258).
Installation time
The kit should take approximately 4 hours to install.
Conventions
The following conventions are followed in this document:
•Right and left are determined from the operator’s position, facing the direction of travel.
•Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in the rotary disc pull-type operator’s manual or
technical manual.
NOTE:
