Bolt head for this plate

making contact with elbow
noted above
No washers in pins
top or bottom both
front and rear pins

No washers top
or bottom as
found
 In every case
the rear pins
have to be cut
off, blow a hole
in them to
pound them out.

At 2600 hrs pins are rusted

into frame, no anti-seize
applied at factory
 Fiber bushing already wearing
out due to dirt entry, no seals or
washers on joint

 Front frame per SIS has
1-8D7685 fiber bearing
2-5P1843 seals
NO WASHERS
Per side

WE HAD NO WASHERS ANYWHERE

Rear Frame per SIS has

1-8X5021 fiber bearing
2- 257-6806 washers
NO SEALS Per side
 16M Rear Frame SIS has
1-3G2582 fiber bearing
4- 1K7081 washers
NO SEALS per side
3G2582 can be cut down so rod
will accept 2-9D6584 seals

WE HAD NO WASHERS
ANYWHERE
16M Front Frame SIS has
1-277-5435 fiber bearing
2-9D6584 seals
4-1K7081 washers
PINS with seals and washers can be
removed easier than those without

Our Recommendations are as follows for both 14M and 16M

machines
 Seals and washers need to be installed on all four pin
joints to keep dirt out of the fiber bearings
 Anti-seize applied to pins at installation to reduce rust
and pin seizure to frame for easier removal and reuse of
pins
14M will already accept the
5P1843 seals in the cylinder eye
just need to add them and install
257-6806 washers both sides.

16M just cut down 3G2582 bearing or

find shorter bearing to allow rod eye to
accept 2-9D6584 seals and make sure
1K7080 washers are on both sides.

BE SURE TO ANTI-SEIZE PINS AT INSTALLATION
