MULCHER SCREEN
1. A mulcher s c r e e n can be attached over the
discharge opening of the mower deck. With this screen
installed you can ride over your lawn and dispose of
dried fallen leaves without effort. The mower blade
lifts them up, grinds them into pieces small enough to
pass through the holes in the screen, and returns them
to your lawn as a fine organic mulch.
2. To install the mulcher s c r e e n , remove the
shrub bar from the discharge opening of the mower.
Shape the s c r e e n to the inside of the blade housing.
Attach to the same holes using the bolts furnished with
the mulcher screen.
3. Better mulching action will result if you set
your b l a d e at one of the lowest cutting heights. Be
sure the leaves are dry before attempting to use the
mulching attachment. Wet leaves will not be ground
up finely enough to pass through the screen, and will
soon clog it.
C A U T I O N
Be sure the e n g i n e is shut off and the blade
clutch is disengagedbefore you attempt to clean
a clogged mulcher screen.
G R O U N D E N G A G I N G TOOLS
For users who enjoy doing their own gardening.
aplow, cultivator, disc harrow, and tiller attachment
are available for use with your tractor. It is neces-
sary to have a special hitch, which can be installed
easily on the b a c k of the tractor, to use the above
mentioned tools. Wheel weights for the rear wheels
are also available to furnish extra traction. It is nec-
essary to r e m o v e the mower attachment to use the
ground engaging tools.

For keeping driveways, parking lots and walks
clear of snow,a Snow Blower a t t a c h m e n t and Snow
Blade have been made available. These attachments
assemble to the front of the tractor and are raised and
lowered with a hand lift lever. The Snow Blade can
also be utilized for light grading chores.
OTHER A T T A C H M E N T S
1. In addition to providing power for your mower
attachment, your tractor can be used to pull a lawn
roller, aerator, seeder or dump cart, all of which are
available from your nearest authorized dealer. They
attach to the hitch plate at the rear of the tractor. You
may also use the tractor to pull a gang mower of three
21-inch reel mowers. Used in this way, your tractor
and mower will cut a 5-foot swath.
2. Tire chains are available for additional trac-
tion in snow or mud.
KEEP Y O U R T R A C T O R
KEEP IT PROPERLY LUBICATED
1. Lubricate the chassis, from underneath, ap-
plying a drop or two of oil to all pivot points in the
steering, brake and clutch linkages.
2. When lubricating the underside of the tractor
chassis, it may be necessary to tip the tractor over
on its side. Lubricate the front wheels, kingpin axles
and steering column through the grease fittings pro-
vided. (Oilite bearings are used in rear wheels and
axle and need no lubrication.) See Lubrication Chart,
Figure 8.
3. In order to l u b r i c a t e the underside of the
tractor chassis, it will be necessary to remove the
mower attachment. See the section titled "Removal
and Replacement of Parts" for assembling the mower
attachment to the tractor. You will be able to remove
the cutting unit easily and quickly.
W O R K I N G FOR Y O U
4. Use an all purpose Lithium grease and an auto-
motive type grease gun to lubricate the front wheels,
front axle kingpins and steering column.
5. O b s e r v e the engine manufacturer's oil r e -
quirements carefully.
Failure to do so will not only
void the warranty, but it could also result in engine
failure, requiring expensive repair.
6. If it is necessary to add oil to the transmission
(check after every 25 hours of operation with the trac-
tor setting level on its front wheels), use a No. 90
multi-purpose gear lubricant. Do not fill above the
level of the inspection plug as this will cause blown
oil seals, continual leakage, and possible consequent
damage to the transmission. The transmission has a
lubricant capacity of approximately 1-1/2 pints.
