Implement Guidelines

Front-Mounted Implements:

Front frame reinforcement is recommended whenever the tractor has front-mounted dozer blades or spray tanks, is used in scraper applications, or is equipped with front frame ballast.

The reinforcement attaches to the underside of the front axle and to the outside of the front frame behind the front axle. See your John Deere Dealer for parts and assistance.

Towed Scrapers:

IMPORTANT: Under scraper or severe applications, tighten wheel bolts every 2 HOURS until all cap screws remain at 600 N·m (445 lb-ft).

Follow manufacturer's instruction in attaching and using scraper.
