The one I put on the 104 was my first. I stuck the spring in from the rear then went to the rock shaft and attached the rod to the spring and clamped it.
The wide frame was my first and after trying to do it the same way I had to put in the spring then attach that to the rear bracket to hold that part in place then remove it and attach the rod without the front bracket. Then I sorta hoped the rear would stay in place and between switching sides several times and standing on my head just to see what I need to do without looking got it on. There is no love loss between me and my 129. And I thought this was just another good example about how they require much more time to work on. Not that I'm on the clock or in a hurry. But after having the narrow spring assist basically slide into place this just added fuel to my fire. And WHY did IH do away with the cool old school hood latches like on my 104? I had to put the latches on the 129. I see why someone would pitch them. - Peace -
