Components
1. Insert the four new 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 carriage bolts (H,
Figure 5) into the frame. These are used to secure
the front and back PTO bearings. Insert the bolts
through the frame and secure in place by wrapping
half the length of the threads with a thin strip of duck
tape. This tape will retain the bolts while the axle is
installed. It is important that only half the threads be
covered so as to allow the nut and lockwasher to be
started, and ultimately retain the bolt.
