36. Place the inner boom extend chain sheave (12),
saved, between the mounts at the front of the
secondary intermediate boom. Insert the sheave
pin (13), saved, through the mounts and the sheave.
Use a tapered punch to line up the mounting hole in
the pin with the mounting hole in the hub. Secure in
place with the capscrew (14), saved, and a new
elastic locknut (15). Tighten securely.
37. After the sheave is assembled, apply a good grade
