The Left Rear Wheel must be filled with liguid. Alamo Industrial recommends a Calcium Cloride
Water Mixture. The recommended Ratio of a 30 / 70 mix (30% Calcium Cloride and 70% Water), this
mixture will add weight at about 10.5 lbs per gallon. Follow the Mixture procedures furnished by the
Manufactured of the Brand of Calcium Cloride that you are useing. It is also recommended that a trained
person installs the calcium Cloride. Calcium Cloride must be added in addition to the Steel Wheel
Wieght and the Counter Weight that hangs on the Left Side. It is Not recommended to use straight
Water in the Wheel as this would not provide protection against freezing. A 30/70 Calcium Cloride
Water mixture provides anti-freeze to approx -50 deg. F. below 0.

Installing Pump Drive Components:
1.Remove Front Cover (See Figure 2), Remove the 4 plastic plugs shown in figure 1 and discard
them, they will not be needed. Remove the 2 Allen Head Cover Retaining Bolts. After removal, this front
cover will not be used. The front Casting will have a Driveline Hole in it. (See Figure 3). This will be the
same on 2 WD or 4 WD.
Crankshaft Pulley will not need to be removed. The
Pulley Adapter will be bolted to the Factory Crankshaft Pulley.
3.Install Pulley Adapter. The Pulley adapter
to be used is a round plate with 4 threaded
holes and four non-threaded holes in it. Notice
this pulley adapter will not have a center hole in
it (See Figure 4). The Non-treaded holes are
used to mount the Adapter to the Pulley using
bolts # 02979791 (10mm 1.5 P X 35mm
Gr.10.9) & Lockwasher # 00755954 (10 mm).
Do not use longer bolts to mount Pulley Adapter
to Pulley than is supplied with mounting kit.
4.Driveshaft Assembly. The drive shaft is a
two piece Assembly, an inner and outer shaft
assembly (See Figure 5). The Shaft End has a
four bolt flange yokes on it that connect to the
Crankshaft Pulley Adapter. The Tube end has a
splined clamp yoke on it that connects to the
Pump. This Drive Shaft connects to the Pulley
Adapter. Note that the Universals of the Driveshaft
are in time. When installed in tractor they should be
in time as shown, both Yokes the same.
Install the Shaft 1/2 Assembly w/ Flanged Yoke into
the Engine compartment of Tractor, install it from
the LH front Side down and under radiator. (SeeFigure 6). This needs to be installed this way
because the Flange Yoke will not go through the
Crankshaft access hole in the front of the Tractor
(See Figure 3). Bolt the Flange Yoke to the Pulley
Adapter using the four 7/16" X 1-1/4" Bolts (Part #
02976344), use the four Lock Washers (Part #
00022200), put Locktite on the threads of the Bolts
and install them into Pulley Adapter. To Tighten
these four Bolts, use a long extension and go
through the front Crankshaft Pulley access hole in
front of Tractor. Do Not use bolts longer than 1-1/4"
long, longer bolts will damage
Crankshaft Pulley.

End of Driveshaft:
1.Install Pump Mount Plate. Install Front Pump
Plate # 02976087 standard mount plate (See
Figure 7) or # 02979080 optional Pump Mount
Plate w/ Pump Guard built on. (Not Shown) use
the 2 Spacers on the JD 6615 Series, Do not install
Pump Mount Plate without using these Spacers.
The Spacers are for Tractor Hood Clearance. Insert
the 4 bolts and lock washers into Pump Mount Plate
and spacers (See Figure 7), tighten them to re-
quired Torque (See Bolt Torque Chart).
2.Driveline timeing means the universal joints
are both the same position when driveline half is slid
together. If they are not timed, it will decrease the life
of the universal joint and in some cases could cause
a vibration. (See Figure 5 on previous page)
3.Install Tube End of Driveline / Pump End.
Slide the Tube half of driveshaft through Pump
Mount Plate and Tractor Crankshaft Access Hole
(See Figure 8). You will have to align the Universals
when doing this (time the Driveshaft). Slide the two
together where the Universal are in time (SeeFigure 5 on previous page), this will help the
driveshaft to operate smoothly.
Installing Pump Mount Plate & Tube End of Driveshaft: (continued)
4.Loosen Splined Clamp Yoke. Insert a bar
through the Yoke to hold Driveshaft up and to help
loosen the Bolts in the clamp Yoke (See Figure 10).
This can be loosened with a hand Wrench or a
Socket whichever is easier for you (See Figure 10).
Some times it is easier to test fit the Tube End of
Driveshaft to the Pump while the Pump is on the
bench.
Bar to Hold
Drive Shaft
Installing Pump:
1.Install Pump into Splined Clamp Yoke. Slide
the Pump Splined Shaft into the Spline Clamp Yoke
(See Figure 11). Leave the Bar stuck in through the
Yoke as shown, this helps to stabilize the Yoke as
you slide Shaft into the Yoke. Once Pump is slid into
the Splined Yoke, keep the Pump supported; DO
NOT let the Pump hang on the Yoke unsupported.
2.Pump / Driveshaft Yoke Gap Adjustment.
After sliding Pump Shaft into Splined Clamp Yoke,
the Pump and Yoke must be slid apart far enough to
allow for a 1/16" to 1/8" Gap between them. The Yoke
edge cannot touch the Pump Housing; it will damage
the Housing and the Yoke if it does. This is a very
critical adjustment (See Figure 12).
3.Tighten Clamp Yoke. After Gap between
Yoke and Pump has been adjusted tighten the Bolts
& Nuts on the Clamp Yoke (See Figure 12 & 13).
Check Pump to Yoke Gap once more. Keep Pump
Supported do not let it hang on Yoke.
Bar that is slid through the Driveshaft Yoke and
push the Pump inward (See Figure 14). This will
make the two piece Driveshaft slide together allowing the Pump to be pushed towards the tractor.
Do this untill the Pump is against the Pump Plate
(See Figure 15).
6.Install Pump Mounting Bolts. While holding
in on the Pump (See Figure 15) start the two
Pump Retaining Bolts. Make sure both Bolts are
started well before you stop supporting pump. The
Bolts should be snugged untill pump sits level
before you stop supporting it (See Figure 16). Let
go of the Pump, it may slide back some and leave
a slight gap between Pump and Mounting Plate
(See Figure 16).
7.Tightening Pump Mounting Bolts. There is
a shoulder on Pump Flange that must line up
through hole in Pump Mounting Plate (See Figure
14), if the Pump is slid back as in figure 14 try to
push it inward untill it is against Pump Mount Plate
as shown (See Figure 15). Slowly and alternating
from Left to the Right side, tighten the Pump
mounting bolts untill they are tight. DO NOT FORCE
Pump through Pump Mount Plate, if it will not freely
slide in check for a problem of some kind. Excess
force could damage Pump Housing. (See Figure
16). Do Not remove any Plastic caps from Pump
inlet or outlet at this time, keep all openings plugged
and sealed to keep them clean.
Rails. Find the front most 4 Bolts in the Tractor
Frame Rail, There are 4 on the RH side and 4 on
the LH Side. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS
FROM BOTH SIDES AT THE SAME TIME,
ONLY do one side at a time the RH or the LH.
For illustration start with the RH Side (SeeFigure 17). The RH & LH Frame Rail Supports
have a Right and a Left. They will not interchange and must be mounted on the correct
side. Notice the way they are built, the Plate part
that bolts to Tractor is longer in the front on both
LH & RH. Make sure the longest part is to the
front (See Figure 18).
2.Install Frame Rail Support RH Side.
This works best with a 2 man team. The RH
Frame Rail Support the is held on with the 5
bolts that Bolts that are supplied w/ mounting
kit. Start all 5 bolts with Lockwasher before any
of the 4 are tightened (See Figure 18). When
tightened down it will look like the picture in
Figure 18. Tighten the four retaining bolts for the
RH Frame Rail Support before lossening or
removeing the bolts on the LH side.

3.Install Frame Rail Support LH Side. Make
sure that the bolts on the RH side have been
tightened before removing the four bolts on the
LH side. The LH Frame Rail Support will install
the same as the RH side did. Remove the 4
bolts; Install the Front Frame Rail Support.
Tighten the 4 bolts through Tractor Frame Rail.
(See Figure 19).
