STEP 2:
(SEE FIGURE 2)
•
Measure the distances L, H and W.
L = distance from center of lower holes in frame
bracket to front of tractor frame.
H = distance to center of hole in frame bracket that is
closest to being 6" above ground level.
W = distance between the inside of the frame
brackets.
•
Proceed to step 4.

TRACToR HAS Two FRoNT BRACKETS
FoR ATTACHING THE MowER DECK
ATTENTIoN: Go back to step 1 if your tractor has only
one front bracket for attaching the mower deck.
STEP 3:
(SEE FIGURE 3)
•
Measure the distances L, H and W.
L = distance from center of hole in deck suspension
bracket to front of tractor frame.
H = distance from center of hole in deck suspension
bracket to ground level.
W = inside distance between the deck suspension
brackets.

STEP 4:
(SEE FIGURE 4)
Refer to page 6 for examples of how to attach the Hanger
Brackets to some other tractor models.
•
Select the pair of slots in the top of the Thrust
Channel that will provide enough clearance between
the blade and the front of the tractor while minimizing
overhang.
Select the pair of slots based on distance "L"
measured in step 2 or step 3.
L = 5" or less
L = 5" to 7"
L = 7" to 9"
•
Arrange the Hanger Brackets with the short Hanger
Bracket on the inside of the long Hanger Bracket and
place them on top of the Thrust Channel. If distance
"H", measured in step 2 or 3, is less than 6", point
the brackets down. If distance "H" is more than 6",
point the brackets up.
•
Adjust the width of the Hanger Brackets to just slightly
less than distance "W" measured in step 2 or 3.
Center the brackets on the Thrust Channel and attach
them using two 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolts and 3/8"
nylock nuts.
•
Tighten the nuts and then make sure the hanger
brackets fit between the deck suspension brackets
or frame bracekts on the tractor.
•
Proceed to step 5 on page 7.
