Hybrid Mount Square Tube Frame Install
1 . Check to see if the u-bolts will fit over your tube
frame . If they do, it is recommended to use the
u-bolts (See round tube install, Page 9) . If they do
not, proceed to step 2 .
2 . Measure the thickness of your tube frame and skid
plate (if installed) see Figure 19 . Then cut the
provided rubber spacers to a
1
⁄
4
in . (6 .4 mm) longer
then the thickness of the tube frame .
If there is a skid plate installed and you do not wish
to remove it, you will need to mark the locations
where the bolts will be installed and drill holes .
Install the hardware with the head of the bolts
towards the ground if possible . This will maximize
ground clearance . See Figure 21 . If not you can cut
the bolts after install .
NOTE
If the upper mount plate
(2)
doesn’t fit because of
obstruction you may substitute the spacer plates
(3)
for the upper mount plate as shown in Figure 22 .
NOTE
Ensure that the rubber spacers are tight against the
frame before tightening the bolts . If this is done
incorrectly the mount could move and the plow may
damage your machine .

over the frame at
the location behind the tires where the frame widens
out . Refer to Figure 20 for best fastener placement .
4 . Determine the location allowing the mount to be
centered, back as far on the frame as possible and
the push tubes to be attached . Keep the mount
holes within the approximate distance (26 in .
{66 mm}) from the front of your machine . See page
8, Figure 16 .

to be snug to plate as its purpose is to keep both
plates from bending in the center .
