two shoulder bolts assembled to the outside of the 
tractor frame. Lift the front of the assembly and attach 
it to the R.H. and L.H. hanger brackets using two pivot 
lock pins and 1/8" hairpin cotters.

•  Loosely attach the mower clutch cable to the left side 

of the tractor frame with a nylon tie. 

Do not

 pull the 

nylon tie completely tight. The cable may need to be 
removed from the nylon tie when using the mower 
deck.

•  Find the cable clip that is attached to the left side 

of the tractor frame underneath the footrest. Open 
the clip and remove the mower clutch cable. 

Do not 

remove

 the clip from the tractor frame. The cable 

reattaches to the clip when using the mower deck.

the disengaged position.

•  Place the clutch/idler assembly on the floor on the left 

side of the tractor.

•  Attach the tractor's mower clutch cable to the cable 

bracket on the clutch/idler assembly. Secure the cable 
housing guide (groove down) to the cable bracket 
using the original collar and retainer spring.

•  Place a 1/4" spacer on the welded pin on the idler 

arm. Hook the end of the clutch cable spring over the 
pin and secure it with a 1/4" washer and a 5/64" hair 
cotter pin.

•  Align cable bracket with welded pin and tighten the 

nut assembled in step 11.

 You may need to remove the belt from the large 

pulley on the clutch/idler assembly in order to assemble 
it onto the engine pulley. When re-assembling the belt 
onto the large pulley, be sure the belt is between the large 
pulley and the hex bolt next to it.
