Mounting the Idler Assembly

(42, 46, 50, 54 inch Decks  

with Electric PTO)

If you’re mounting this snow thrower attachment to a 
tractor equipped 

with any deck other 

than a 42, 46, 50 

or 54-inch deck with electric PTO, proceed to 

Mounting 

the Undercarriage Assembly (all tractors). 
However, if you’re mounting this snow thrower attach-
ment to a tractor equipped with a 42, 46, 50 or 54-inch 
deck with electric PTO, proceed as follows:

NOTE: 

 If you engage your tractor’s cutting deck by 

using your left hand to pivot a lever forward, your tractor 
has a Manual PTO. If you engage your tractor’s cutting 
deck by pulling outward on a small knob located on the 
tractor’s dash, your tractor has an Electric PTO.
1.  Remove the flange nut and washer noted in Figure 

8, which secures the double-idler bracket to the 
undercarriage.   Leave the Shoulder Spacer in place.

2.  Attach the idler assembly (packaged separately) 

over the hex screw and shoulder spacer on the 
surface of the undercarriage. See Figure 8.

3.  Fasten the idler bracket to the undercarriage with the 

hardware just removed. See Figure 8.

4.  Attach one end of the extension spring (732-0594A) 

to the hole in the idler assembly just mounted and 
the opposite end of the extension spring to the 
keeper pin as illustrated in Figure 8.

5.  Position the upper v-belt (754-0371A) as illustrated 

in Figure 9.

NOTE: 

For a complete detailed diagram of how to route 

the upper v-belt, see Routing The Upper Drive Belt 
beginning at the top of page 18.

NOTE: 

Proceed to the top of page 12 for continued 

installation instructions for the 600, 800, 11C & 13C 
model series.

 Before installing 

attachment, place 

tractor on a firm 

and level surface. 

Place the PTO in 

the disengaged 

(OFF) position, set 

the parking brake, 

shut engine off and 

remove key to prevent 

unintended starting.
