*Identify the left and right lift links. Mount the 

adjustable one to the right and the fixed one to the 
left. 

 
(A) Left lift link (Fixed)  
(B) Right lift link (Adjustable) 

 

(4) Install the top link at the top link hinge hole.

Adjusting top link 

Loosen the lock nut for the top link and turn the 
turnbuckle to adjust the length of the top link. When an 
implement is not used, hang the top link on the hook. 
 

(A) Hook  
(B) Lock nut  
(C) Top link 

 

 

IMPORTANT 

 

Install the top link lock nut (B) on the implement side. If 
the lock nut were to be mistakenly installed on the 
opposite side, it will cause the top link to be damaged.

Mounting general farm implements 

(1) Adjust the length of the right lift link to make the left 

and right lower links equal in height.  

 
(A) Lower link  
(B) Lift link 

 

 

(2) Align the center of the tractor with the center of the 

implement on the flat ground.  

(3) Fix the left lower link on the implement, then fix the 

right lower link. If the right lower link pinhole is out of 
position, turn the lift link to bring the hole in the 
position.  

(4) Fix the standard top link on the top link hinge using 

the ball socket lock pin. Next, loosen the top link lock 
nut and turn the turnbuckle. Lock the implement with 
the lock pin.  

 

 

(5) Loosen the lock nut of the top link and turn the 

turnbuckle for adjustment. Fix the implement in the 
top link mounting position with a pin. 

 

(A) Top link  
(B) Top link hinge 
(C) Right lift link 

 

 

(6) Lower the implement on the ground. Adjust its 

posture with the top link turnbuckle.  

(7) To install an implement requiring the drive force, 

follow the instruction on the nameplate mounted on 
the safety cover for the drive shaft. 

(8) Lift the implement slightly and make sure it is level. If 

not, adjust the right lift link.  

(9) Lift the implement to a maximum height and rotate it 

with a hand. If it is hard to rotate with a hand or if the 
rotation is not smooth, adjust the length of the top 
link.
