3 Instructions and Specifications INTRODUCTION This manual provides instructions for installing the Mud Hog Drive System on hydrostatic machines. Various machine options such as rear axle width and front tire size affect Mud Hog adaptation. These differences are specifically referred to in these instructions. Always follow the instructions which refer to the exact option configuration on the machine being converted. A complete pictorial breakdown of all the individual parts in the Mud Hog Drive System can be found in the Mud Hog Parts Catalog. Refer to this catalog for proper identification of parts required for service. GENERAL The terms right and left in these instructions are the same as the operators right and left hand when positioned in the operator s seat facing forward. IMPORTANT: Cleanliness is essential when installing or servicing hydraulic components. When making hydraulic connections, areas surrounding the connection should be steam cleaned or washed with solvent so that contamination will not enter the system. Always keep hoses and connectors and ports suitably capped or covered to keep contamination out of the system. CAUTION: Make sure that system pressure is relieved before disconnecting any lines or connections. Pressurized fluid escaping from the system can cause serious personal injury. TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH Mud Hog FASTENERS Recheck all bolt & nut torque after 1 hour s use and again after first day of use. Periodically check tightness every 100 hours of use thereafter. Note: bolts that require Loctite should not be re-tightened once Loctite has had time to cure. Note: When using original equipment fasteners, adhere to manufacturers recommended specifications.

4 ! Safety Procedures 1) READ THESE PROCEDURES COMPLETELY. Make sure you fully understand all controls BEFORE operating the system. 2) The safety information given does not replace safety codes, insurance needs, or federal, state, and local laws. 3) Standard safety procedures should be observed and practiced when operating or servicing the Mud Hog system. CAUTION should be practiced at all times. 4) All components MUST be securely and correctly mounted and connected BEFORE operating the system. 5) In the event of any malfunction in the system, the Mud Hog should be shut OFF immediately and not restarted until the machine is correctly serviced. 6) When raising the machine, make sure that a dependable left device is used to adequate capacity. Use suitable jack stands to support machine. Apply PARK or EMERGENCY BRAKE and block the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling. 7) DANGER Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than your hands, to search for suspected leaks. 8) DO NOT extend the axles beyond the distance stated in the instructions. 9) DO NOT alter axles in ANY manner alterations may reduce strength resulting in possible damage or personal injury. 10) DO NOT alter any component of the Mud Hog system. Unauthorized modification may result in possible damage or personal injury. 11) DANGER Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may result in serious bodily injury. DO NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job safely. 12) WARNING Decals MUST be obeyed completely to prevent possible damage or injury. If decals are destroyed, lost damaged or cannot be read, replace immediately. 13) WARNING Any damaged hi-pressure hose should be replaced with a comparable 4-wire braid hose (DO NOT use a 2 or 3-wire braid hose). A

5 MUD-HOG SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION This manual covers both System II and System III MUD-HOG kits. The difference between Sys.II and Sys.III is wheel motor displacement. The Sys.II wheel motors have 57 cubic inches and the Sys.III wheel motors are two speed motors with displacements of 38 and 76 cubic inches. The number of lug bolts on the wheel motors will tell you which system your MUD-HOG kit is. A Sys.II has 8 lug bolts per motor and a Sys.III has 10 lug bolts per motor. Several sections in this manual will refer to either Sys.II or Sys.III. Sections that do not specify one or the other system are for both systems. REMOVAL OF EXISTING COMPONENTS Park the cotton picker in a clean working area. Apply the PARK or EMERGENCY BRAKE and block the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling. Using a suitable lift device, jack or hoist, raise the rear of the machine so that the rear tires are several inches off the ground. Place the jack stands securely under the rear axle of the machine. Disconnect and remove the steering tie rod assembly from the wheel ends. Remove the outer tie rod from the tie rod assembly. Save the slotted hex nuts and cotter pins and tie rod mounting hardware for later use. Remove stub axle mounting bolts. Remove stub axles and save mounting bolts for installation of Mud Hog stub axles. NOTE: Always refer to Case International SERVICE MANUAL when disassembling any CI components.

21 MOUNTING WHEELS AND SETTING TOE-IN Mount the wheels onto the wheel motor hub flanges with the center of the wheel in-board of the wheel motor flange. NOTE: Installing the wheels dished-out with the center of the wheel outside of the mounting flange on the motors will VOID your warranty. Install the lug nuts and torque to proper specification. NOTE: Older axles, made in 2002 or earlier have a 2-piece nut. The torque specification for this type of nut is 369 ft.lbs. During 2002, the style of nut changed to a 1-piece nut and the torque specification for this type of nut is 442 ft.lbs. NOTE: Check tire pressure. Mark center of each tire tread on the front and rear of both tires at the same height. Measure distance (A) between the two marks on the rear of the tires. Measure distance (B) between marks on the front of the tires. (B) should be 1/8 to 3/8" less than (A). Remove bolts from tie rod tubes. Loosen clamps and jam nuts. Rotate tubes to lengthen or shorten tie rods. Adjust toe-in to 1/8 to 3/8". Replace bolts and tighten clamps and jam nuts. PRE-START PROCEDURES Locate steering stop bolts on the top of each stub axle and wheel drive assembly. Loosen jam nuts and screw stop bolts completely in. Turn steering wheel to the right until tie rod ear hits stop bolt. Check tires for clearance during oscillation of axle. If there is interference, adjust stop bolt out until interference is eliminated. Turn steering wheel to the left until tie rod ear hits stop bolt. Check tires for interference and adjust accordingly. Return wheels to a straight ahead position. Check that all bolts, nuts and hydraulic connections are torqued to specification. See torque specifications at the beginning of the manual.

22 4WD Mud Hog Vinyl Decal Application Instructions To apply your decal, please follow the instructions below: 1. Clean area above rear wheel on ladder side of machine to remove dirt and grime. 2. Without removing the paper backing, position decal on surface exactly where you want it. 3. Once the decal is in position, place a piece of masking tape along the top edge to hold the decal in place. 4. The decal should be sitting on the surface like a flap. Lift up the decal and remove the paper backing. 5. With the backing paper completely removed from the decal & transfer tape, gently lower the decal with the transfer tape back down to the surface and rub it down lightly with your hand. 6. The transfer tape should still be on the side of the decal facing you. This allows you to rub the decal without scratching or damaging the decal. Take a squeegee or credit card and firmly rub the transfer tape and thus the decal until it is firmly adhered to the surface. 7. Finally, peel off the transfer tape and masking tape gently. The decal will adhere to the surface much more aggressively than the transfer tape. The transfer tape should lift easily leaving behind no sticky residue. 8. Your decal installation is complete. If there are bubbles present under the decal that cannot be removed by working them to edge, a small needle or pin can be used to puncture the bubble and remove the air. A small pin hole will not be seen after the air bubble has been worked out.
