9/23/03

Your initial action is to bolt the rolling harrow drop extensions [(62) 589-128H] to the back 4x4
tube on the Verti-Till with 5/8x4x5 ½ U-Bolts [(63) 806-184C] 5/8” hex nuts [(25) 803-021C] and 5/8”
lock washers [(26) 804-022C]. Be sure to place them as shown in Figure 1. Do not tighten these bolts
at this time. Your next step is to U-Bolt the drag frame(s) [(61) 589-129H or 589-130H] to the drop
extensions. Be sure everything is placed in the correct dimensions and tighten everything down at this
time.

The rolling harrow gangs shown in figure 2, come to you partially assembled. To finish
assembly, refer to the table in figure 2 and assemble accordingly. Start by locating the correct rolling
harrow tube, center it over your partial assembly on the bearing hangers [(52) 589-142H], and mount the
tube using 5/8x3x4 ½ U-bolts [(44) 806-183C] with a lock washer and nut. Your next step is to locate
the ball joint assemblies [(59) 589-064H]. Figure 2 shows you the dimensions to mount the ball joint
assemblies on the rolling harrow tube. Count the number of each assembly in figure 1 and assemble
accordingly.

Mount the rolling harrow brackets [(60) 589-057H] to the under side of the drag frames
according to the dimensions in figure 1, using a 5/8x3x4 ½ U-bolt [(44) 806-183C] with a lock washer
and nut. You may tighten the U-bolts on all the brackets that are closest to the rear of the machine.
Leave the front brackets loose to slide until the rolling harrow assemblies are hung under the frame. Use
the 1x4 hex bolt and 1” nylock nut through the harrow brackets (589-057H) and ball joint assemblies
[(59) 589-064H] to hang the rolling harrow assemblies under the frame. Be careful to put the proper
gang in the proper location and be sure that the assemblies are oriented correctly as shown in figure 2.
When all gangs are hung under the frame, tighten the remaining U-bolts.
