BX24 3pt Hitch Installation

[RayCo]

Hi group. I took my backhoe off tonight for the first time. It was pretty simple. I then put on the 3pt hitch so I can do some grading this week. But, one problem. There are two large spacers that appear to go on the lower arm bar on either side. They lock into the tractor frame in a specific position and the bar then goes in these spacers. Is there any trick to getting these in place and getting the bar to then slide in? I couldn't get it all together and figured I'd ask for tips before using trial and error on a 50 pound part.

Thanks

Ray,

The bushings have to be slid on the bar first. Then get the bar in position and push each bushing out toward each end of the bar and into the frame.

Hope that helps.

I got it on rather easily today after figuring out that removing the plate that holds the chains would allow me to easily slip everything into place.
