Sweep Tractor Assembly
1. Place the tractor frame on plain flat ground.
2. Bolt each pillow block bearing to a bearing mount bracket using two (2) 1/2"-13 x 2" hex head cap screws, two (2) flat washers and serrated flanged nuts.
3. Bolt each bearing mount bracket to the tractor frame using two (2) 1/2"-13 x 1-1/4" flange bolts and serrated flanged nuts. (See Figure 4A.)
NOTE: Lock collar flanges for each pillow block bearing must be to the inside of frame.

NOTE: Lock collars on inside of frame.
4. Slide the tractor axle through the left side of the pillow block bearing and the lock collars so as to pass through the right side of the pillow block bearing. Make sure the keyway of the shaft is on the left hand side of the tractor.
NOTE: Do not tighten the pillow block bearing lock collars yet.
5. Assemble the 40 tooth sprocket to the tractor axle using a 3/8" square x 1-3/4" key. Temporarily tighten the sprocket to the key and the shaft. Final adjustment of the sprocket placement will occur after the chain is installed.
