frames from articulating when placed in the lock
position. The pin has two positions in the frame:
When the pin is in the right side of the frame, 1, it
is in the operate position.

When the pin is in the left side of the frame, 2, it is
in the lock position.
Use the articulation lock during stationary
applications, servicing, jacking or overhaul
operations. Do not use when the tractor is
operating. To install the articulation lock, use the
following procedure:
1. Beforeengaging the lock, drive the tractor to a
level surface, put the steering straight,
engage the park brake, put the gearshift in
neutral, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the pin from the operate position on
the right side of the frame and put the pin
through the hole on the left side of the frame.
NOTE: It may be necessary to start the
engine and articulate the frame slightly to
be sure the articulation pin is positioned
properly and completely seated through
the frame pieces.
