SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before installing attachment,
place tractor on a firm and level surface. Place
the PTO in the disengaged (OFF) position, set
the parking brake, shut engine off and remove
key to prevent unintended starting.
NOTE: Your tractor’s cutting deck and PTO belt must
be removed prior to mounting the snow thrower
attachment. Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual
for detailed instructions. Retain all the deck hardware
and store it in a safe place. If your tractor is equipped
with any front-end accessory such as a front bumper
kit, it must also be removed.

Belleville Washer
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that a second
person act as an assistant throughout the assembly of
the snow thrower attachment. Having a second person
present eases the completion of many of the steps.
NOTE: The lock washer and hex nut
are on the INSIDE of the pivot bracket.

Place the tractors front tires on 2x4s to bring the

clearance for positioning the support carriage.
Remove the hex screws, lock washers and hex
nuts from the both sides of the rear of the support
carriage assembly.
Place the support carriage assembly between the
tractor’s front tires so that the large notch on both
sides of the support carriage straddles the tractor’s
front pivot bar. See Figure 5.
