10. Remove the hairpin cotter and control rod from the
control handle (Fig. 12).
11. Pull the release lever and swing the blade so that the
angle pin is partway between two holes and does not
seat. This creates slack in the cable.
12. Remove the end of the cable from the cable bracket on
the angle pin (Fig. 14).
13. Loosen the jam nuts and remove the cable from the
keyhole slot in the blade frame (Fig. 13).
14. Remove the control handle pivot bolt and locking nut.
15. Slide the blade out between front wheels of the tractor.
16. Remove the steering spindle stops, from tabs on front
wheel spindles, to allow for tighter turning radius
(Fig. 19).

Operation
If you hit fixed objects with the blade, the tractor
could stop abruptly, causing you to lose control,
personal injury, and equipment damage.
•
Travel at a safe, slow speed.
•
Check the area to be plowed and mark all fixed
objects so you can avoid them.
Caution
Raising and Lowering the
Blade
Depending on your tractor model, the tractor will have
either an automatic attachment lift switch (Fig. 20) or a
manual attachment lift lever (Fig. 21) to raise and lower
attachments.
