Covers outrigger placement, pin locations on the subframe, driving technique to clear the bracket, and hydraulic line reconnection to restore function. About four minutes with no filler, useful specifically for 2515H owners doing this task for the first time.
A dealership channel, so expect a sales-friendly presentation, though this particular video is a straightforward how-to rather than a promotional piece.
Lower the outriggers, set the boom down like a tripod, pull the two subframe pins, drive forward three to five inches to clear the bracket, then reconnect the hydraulic lines.
There are two pins located underneath the tractor on the subframe, which are easy to pull out by hand.
If you do not reconnect the two hydraulic lines to close the circuit, the hydraulics will not work on the tractor.
If it does not go on, there is too much pressure. Turn off the tractor, relieve any pressure, and it should go right on.
