DRIVESHAFT AND FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Install spacer plate on tractor engine using bolts and lockwashers as shown in Parts Section.
Grease sleeve section of the driveshaft and install from the side of the engine compartment.
Once you have the sleeve section in place, bolt to spacer plate using bolts and lockwashers as
shown in Parts Section. Install shaft end of driveshaft through opening and into driveshaft
sleeve. Shaft and sleeve yokes should be aligned, if shaft does not insert easily in sleeve, turn
shaft 180°, and then install. Align the notches on the shaft and yoke tube as shown in picture
below.
Shaft end must be installed in correct orientation, failure to do so may result in
damage to tractor and/or driveshaft. After installation of shaft end, install pump mount. Next,
install pump. After pump is secured, install driveshaft in to pump shaft. The end of driveshaft
should be no more than 1/2” away from contact with pump housing. Tighten crimping bolt on
driveshaft. Lube driveshaft and check all hoses, flanges, the pump, pump mount, driveshaft and
mounting plate to ensure all fasteners are tightened before operation.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE ATTACHED, TANK
IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! STARTING AT THIS TIME
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.

ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Raise rear of tractor onto jack-stands. Follow the instructions in the tractor owner’s
manual for adjusting tires and rims . The back wheels MUST be adjusted to the widest
setting. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of tractor. Also take
note of any width restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of installation, it is best to
leave the rear wheels removed during installation of the mower.)
