INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TRACTORS
STEP 24: MOUNT SCOOP TO TRACTOR
(SEE FIGURE 23)
• Align the scoop with the side plates on the front of the
tractor. Lift the rear of the scoop and slide the notches
in the scoop frame onto the bolts or pins in the tractor
side plates. Stand on the left side of the tractor and
push down on the scoop dump handle until the holes
in the scoop frame and the holes in the side plates are
aligned. Install two clevis pins (MM) through the holes
and secure with two hairpin cotters (Z).

STEP 25: ADJUST TILT AND PIN STOP BRACKETS
(SEE FIGURE 24)
• Lower the scoop assembly onto a smooth level surface.
For normal use, let the bottom of the bucket rest flat on
the ground. For more aggressive scraping action, place
1/4" shims under the rear of the bucket at each end.
• Make sure the two smaller bolts in the tilt bracket
and the four bolts in the pin stop bracket are slightly
loosened.
• Swing the tilt bracket forward and position the pin stop
bracket so the end of the dump control pin inserts into
the hole in the tilt bracket.
• Adjust the pin stop bracket so that it is flush and square
with the front of the bucket. Leave a small gap between
the side of the pin stop bracket and the tilt bracket. The
taper on the end of the dump control pin should now
extend all the way through the tilt bracket. TIGHTEN the
bolts and nuts in the pin stop bracket
• TIGHTEN the two bolts and nuts in the tilt bracket.
