Tube Assembly from an LGP Machine (AP) 1331 mm (52.4 inch) (AQ) 809 mm (31.9 inch) (AR) 409 mm (16.1 inch) (AS) 143 mm (5.6 inch)
Assemble clamps, blocks (2), and tubes (AH). Refer to Illustrations 13 and 14. Refer to Illustrations 6 and 7 in order to locate the assembly on the stabilizer link.

Find the center point of the bearings on both ends of the stabilizer link. Measure the bearing at the mating face in order to find the center point.
Snap a chalk line between the center points that were found in Step 10. The chalk line should appear to be on the top of the stabilizer link when the sides of the bearings are vertical.
In order to find the radial location of the tube mounting blocks and the center guard mounting blocks, measure from the chalk line in the direction of the blade by a distance of 12.76 mm (0.500 inch). Tack weld the tube assembly to the link at this location. Use the dimensions in Illustration 6 and Illustration 7 in order to locate the tube mounting blocks along the length of the stabilizer link. In Illustration 15, the bolt holes of the mounting blocks for the tubes are the center line for the tube assemblies and the guards.
Remove clamps and tubes (AH) from blocks (2) .

If blocks (F) have not been removed, scribe the location of the blocks. Then remove the blocks from the stabilizer link. Replace the blocks with blocks (3). Use Illustration 15 and the dimensions in Illustrations 6 and 7 to locate blocks (3). Blocks (3) should be located in line with the center hole of the tube mounting blocks (2) .Note: A standard machine requires two blocks (3). An LGP machine requires three blocks (3) .Note: If you performed ""Modifying the Alignment"", ensure that blocks (3) are located at an 11° angle with respect to the bearings.
If the procedure in ""Modify the Alignment (If Required)"" was not performed, you should skip this Step. Mount the center guard to the mounting blocks (3). Bolt lugs (E) to the left and right guards. Use the dimensions in Illustration 6 and Illustration 7 in order to locate the positions of the lugs along the stabilizer link. Radially, the left and right guards should be flush with the center guard. Tack weld all of lugs (E) .
Trial mount all of the guards and the tube assembly. Finish weld all of the blocks and lugs if no problems are found during the trial mount.
Position the modified tubes (AH) on blocks (2). Refer to Illustration 13 or 14 for the proper location.
