tip of the rod is facing out from the boot.
See Figure 13.
3.
Begin threading the flange lock nuts
(712-04064) from hardware pack 689-00636
onto the hex head screws. See Figure 13.
4.
Using a 7/16” wrench or socket on the
screw and a 7/16” box wrench on the lock
nuts, tighten down so the flange is flush to
secure the assembly.

Using a 7/16” wrench or socket on the screw and a 7/16” box wrench on the lock nuts,
tighten down so flange is flush to secure the assembly.
Assembling & Configuring the Discharge Chute (42”/46”)
Determine if your deck is a newer model, or an older model. If your deck has a mounting
stud present, then you have a newer deck model and you should refer to the instructions
that follow. If no stud is present, refer to the instructions titled
“Tractors With Older Deck
Configurations”
later in this section.
