Mount Cylinders

Start with bottom cylinder mount assembly:

• [1] Cut 1/2"X6"x12" plate
• [2] Cut 1/2"x4"x6" plate
• Mag drill or punch [4] 3/4" holes in 6"x12" plate for attachment of main cylinder to frame
• Mag drill or punch [2] 1" pin holes on each 4"x6" plate for attachment of main cylinder
• Weld a reinforcing gusset nut - 1" drilled out nut onto 4"x6" plates
• Tack [2] plates about 3.5" apart for cylinder mounting
• Weld assembly together with cylinder pin in place (prevents shifting)

Move to top of main cylinder, which is also the mount for the secondary cylinder

• [2] Cut 6”x12” plate
• Declare 4 hole locations for mounting to arms
• Drill plates a pair at one time, clamped together – [4] ¾” holes and [2] 1” holes
• Align these plates by inserting the pins into these and clamping to arms prior to transfer punching holes
• Transfer punch hole locations to arms from both sides
• Drill 4 holes for loader arm attachment per each side, one side at a time
• Drilland 2 for pins - per each plate
• Attach main cylinder and secondary cylinder
• Lay assembly in place on frame, and pin bottom of main cylinder into it
• Pin top of main cylinder into the arm attachment plates
• Pin bottom of secondary cylinder to the arm attachment plates
• Pin top of secondary cylinder to the QA Plate mounts

• Drill cylinder mount plate holes in loader arms
• Mount cylinder plates (2 per arm)
• With loader arms in place, arrange bottom and top mounts, drill holes
• Attach main cylinder to arms
• With main cylinder attached, finetune location of bottom cylinder mount for equal extension of cylinders
• Drill bottom mount locations
• Bolt bottom mounts
