I fail to understand what you are trying to do, and the pictures don't help me understand. Looks like loose bolts that maybe you are trying to thread into the casting. What gives?

I know I had the bottom bracket off where the cab attaches to the axle as I circled in your pic. Do you have the box of small pieces for the parking brake, service brakes and range selector? I originally was trying to use all of the parts then relised I only needed one part my my model/year tractor. Then the large mounting plate was pretty easy to install. I can pop my left wheel off and get some pics for you in the morning. You have the install instructions I assume?

I was looking at the instruction online last night and realized that I need to bolt on the parking brake piece and remove the old one I’m going to give it a try and hopefully that will do it. Thanks for responding this thing beat me up yesterday.

Yes....I just looked at mine, the only piece I used was the parking brake linkage. Old one in pic. "All other parts are not required".

Thank you for the Help it was extremely helpful taking off the cab mounts I still had a hell of a time getting it past the spindle for parking brake I had to completely loosen it. Right now I have to try and fire up the other tractor so I can try putting the loaded tires back on and se if it fits

Nice! Good to hear it all worked out for you! You even have the thumb on it! Let's see some side shots to see how far back it sits from the rear tires? Why does Deere not suggest these 385a backhoes for 3 series cab tractors?
