ASSEMBLY
Remove the mower deck. See the tractor owner’s
manual for dismounting instructions.
Measure the height (item 1) between the tractor’s rear
tow hitch and the ground.
This measurement is
needed for Step 2.
Block the front wheels of the tractor. Using a jack, lift the
rear end of the tractor and remove the wheels. Block in
place with an axle stand (item 4)
under each side.
Determine which bolt holes measure 16 1/4” center to
center (item 3) in order to bolt the mounting brackets. If
bolts (item 2) are already installed, remove them.
Tractors with parallel transaxle:
Install the mounting brackets (item 2), the 90° end
towards the front with the hole (item 3) towards the
center as shown. Shim with flat washers or sleeves
(item 4) as needed between the mounting bracket and
the transaxle so that the mounting bracket is parallel
with the transaxle. Secure with the appropriate length
bolts and nuts as shown. Do not tighten.
Tractors with angled transaxle:
Install the mounting brackets (item 2), the angled end
towards the front with the hole (item 4) towards the
center. If needed, shim with flat washers (item 3)
between the mounting bracket and the transaxle so that
the mounting bracket is parallel with the transaxle.
Secure with the appropriate length bolts and nuts as
shown. Do not tighten.
