Bucket Level Indicator - Cleaning concrete surfaces causes rapid bucket wear. Bucket level indicator helps to ensure bucket rides on wear pads. Adjusting Bucket Level Indicator: Loosen cap screw. Adjust rod up or down until bend rests in guide bracket. Tighten cap screw to hold rod securely in place.

O-Ring Installation - Inspect groove and/or seat. Flat face O-ring seal: Apply petroleum jelly to O-ring and place in groove. O-ring boss: Install O-ring carefully over threads. Install fittings by hand until snug, position adjustable fittings by unscrewing no more than one turn.

Replacing Orifice - Orifice must be in place for more efficient use of JD 2520 tractor hydraulics. The lift circuit orifice slows the lowering and improves control of lift arms. Orifice, is in the head-end lift cylinder fitting with cap color-coded blue. Flat face of orifice must be against inside of adapter fitting. Tighten according to specifications.

Assembly Sequence - Prepare the tractor. Install mounting frames. Install hood guard. Prepare the 200X loader. Install bucket/attachment. Install hydraulic hoses. Position loader to mount on tractor. Attach loader to tractor. Perform final inspection and adjustments. Install optional equipment/attachments.

Installing Frontier RT1157 tiller on 2520 tractor - Back tractor into position and align draft links with draft link brackets on tiller using tractor rockshaft control. Fasten each draft link to draft link brackets with drilled pins and quiklock pins. Locate driller pin in top holes. Install center link on tiller and fasten with drilled pin and quiklock pin. Install PTO shaft to tractor. Engage the cardan shaft and check that it is perfectly locked on the tractor PTO. Check that the guard is free to turn and fix it with the relative latch. Raise tiller. Remove spring locking pin from parking stand. Slide parking stand all the way up on tiller bracket. Fasten with spring locking pin. Level tiller. Adjust sway chains on tractor lower draft arms to minimize side way.

PTO shaft with clutch - The PTO shaft can be equipped with safety clutch to protect the transmission components of the machine from stress and/or excessive overloads. The tilt of the PTO shaft must not exceed 10 degrees. The clutch is already pre-adjusted for average stress. If it slips too easily (and overheats), it will be necessary to evenly tighten all the nuts that retain the spring. The clutch disks must be changed if the clutch still slips after all the nuts have been tightened. If the clutch does not slip, evenly unscrew all the spring fixing nuts. Unscrew one turn at a time and check the clutch after having worked about 300 meters. Repeat the operation if necessary, remembering to unscrew one turn at a time. If the clutch maintains a temperature of about 40-50C (104-122F) degrees during work, this means that it has been correctly regulated.
