Getting a new 2500E.
We are going to use one of the old units for tee and approach mowing freeing up 3 staff for other jobs.
Instructions are ok and just follow them in order.
Started of removing the cab for easier access to change rear steering arm.
Lot of parts.
I did preassemble what I could on the roll top.
This plate the instructions don't show where it goes exactly.
Goes on motor mount.
Remove reels for better access and support engine.
Remove bolts and use bolt provided to install plate.
I'm supporting machine on tripods using my lift.
Remove wheel to lighten the load and to have enough room to slide out.
This small Allen headed bolt is slide into the grove to hold steering arm in.
Remove this ram connection and get the other side when steering arm is lowered.
Grease shaft and partially put in place and reconnect steering ram.
Now attach the other end after securing shaft in place with set screw bolt. Use red Loctite on these Allen bolts.
Line up motor and tighten down evenly till its touching.
It was a tight fit. Back nuts off and torque to spec.
Install wheel hub and torque to 150 ft lbs
Start routing hose as per manual.
they should cross over like this.
Two remaining hoses, the longest one will go to right side and attach to left side fitting on steel wheel motor lines.
Caps for connection points.
Took me a few tries to route the hoses to get the least chaffing.
After attaching connection points you can use zip ties in kit to tidy things up.
Mine looks like this.
Looking from behind front lift arm.
Left connection point is the longer hose.
On to wiring.
Remove two bolts to move axillary tank aside to get to grounding access point on back side of bolt shown in manual 15mm wrench nut.
Connect this wire.
The other end attaches on the E type machines on the white connector behind right front wheel.
Remove the rubber plug and install the pin through same connecter.
Zip tie everything up and out of the way so middle deck doesn't hit it.
Bleeding some air out of lines.
Ready for next mow. The coil is only activated when lever is in mow.
