If you’re mounting this snow thrower attachment to a
tractor equipped with any deck other than a manually
engaged 46-inch, proceed to either:
1.
Mounting the Idler Assembly (for tractors equipped
with a 42, 46, 50 & 54-inch deck ONLY) in this
section
2.
Mounting the Idler Pulley and Pin (for Manual PTO
tractors equipped with a 38- or 42-inch deck ONLY)
previously in this section, or
3.
Mounting the Undercarriage Assembly (all
tractors not mentioned above) on page 12.
These instructions are for mounting this snow thrower
attachment to a
GARDEN TRACTOR (Model Series
800) equipped with a Manual PTO and a 46-inch deck.
NOTE: If you own a Manual PTO
Lawn Tractor with
a 46-inch deck, you can disregard the following steps;
they are unnecessary. A LAWN TRACTOR is any 600-
649 Series mower, an 800 Series mower is a GARDEN
TRACTOR. Refer to
Determine Your Model of Rider
on page 3 of this manual to determine what model rider
you are attempting to install this attachment to.
1. Remove the flange nut, washer and shoulder
spacer which secures the double-idler bracket to the
undercarriage. See Figure 5.
2. Remove the 3-inch hex bolt from the bottom of the
front pulley, to free it from the undercarriage.
3. Reassemble with the 3-inch hex bolt on top of the
undercarriage and the flange nut securing the pulley
from the bottom. See Figure 6.
IMPORTANT: Components must be reassembled in the
exact order illustrated in Figure 6.
Mounting the Belt Keeper
(Manual PTO Garden Tractors equipped
with a 46-inch deck ONLY)
The belt keeper and hardware (packaged separately,
refer to page 6-7) must be installed around the engine
pulley of all Manual PTO Garden Tractors with a 46-inch
cutting deck. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Locate the engine pulley by looking beneath the front
area of your tractor.
2. Secure the belt keeper to the inside of the tractor’s
frame with the hex nut, bell washer and jam nut as
shown in Figure 7.
3. Make certain the cupped portion of the bell washer is
facing
