Soil Mixer - Overall Machine - Build Instructions
Fabricate, in order:
1. The tine modules, which together with the rotor shaft and coupler, forms the rotor module Soil_Mixer_-_Rotor_Module_-_Build_Instructions 2. Then the rotor shaft Soil_Mixer_-_Rotor_Module_-_Build_Instructions 3. The lid, with integral hinges. 4. The tooth bar 5. The bucket, which includes the means to connect it to the tractor arm and hinges for the lid.
The other parts are off the shelf, including the motor coupler, motor, and hydraulic piston used to lift and close the lid.
Assemble, at this point the welding is all done: 1. The bucket and rotor module: a) Insert the rotor shaft through one bearing, might as well be on the side which does not have the motor mount. Remember to orient the shaft so that the hole for the coupler is on the right side. b) Get those tine modules onto the rotor shaft. Don't tighten the bolts yet. c) Fully insert the shaft through the bearing on the other side. Tighten the bolts on the bearings to attach the inner collar of the bearing to the shaft. d) Attach the motor coupler e) Attach the motor. Ensure the hydraulic couplers are pointing towards the tractor. f) Tighten all bolts to final tightness, including all bolts on the tine modules
2. Attach the tooth bar. 3. Attach the lid. 4. Attach the hydraulic piston.
Ensure all bolts are tight, everything moves as hoped, and you are ready to attach it to the tractor.
