Refer to Refer to Figure 1-3:
4. Back the tractor up close to the hitch. Level the mower
frame with the tongue jack.
5. Adjust the mower's hitch to the tractors draw bar height.
6. Attach the mower with a 3/4" hitch pin and secure it with
the lock pin. Always use a pin that contains a safety
locking device to prevent it from falling out.
7. Retract the tongue jack until the weight of the mower is
fully removed from the jack, then remove the jack. Store
the jack on the storage tube located on top of the
divider gear box.

8. Attach the safety chain on the frame tongue to the
tractor. Adjust the chain length to remove all slack
except what is necessary to permit turning of the
mower. Lock the hook securely on the chain.
9. The driveline shaft from the tractor is a constant velocity
type. Always attach the end with the constant velocity
joint to the tractor output shaft. Attach the other end to
the splined input shaft on the divider gear box on the
transport frame.
10. Move the driveline back and forth to insure that it is
secured on the shaft of the tractor and power divider
input shaft on the mower.
11. Secure the chain on the driveline around mower frame
to restrict the outer shield of the driveline from rotating.
NOTE: A chain is supplied with each driveline. This
chain must be attached to the shield cone of each
driveline and to an anchor on the mower deck or
22273 hitch.
12. Should the driveline shaft require shortening:
a. Hold the half shafts next to each other in the
shortest working position and mark them.
b. Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.
c. Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the
same length as the guard tubes.
d. Proper overlap is a minimum of one-half the
length of each tube, with both tubes being of equal
length.
e. Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs.
Grease sliding profiles.
13. Route the cylinder hoses through the hose support
loop and connect to tractor remote outlets. Refer to
Hydraulic Plumbing, this section on page 13, for proper
hookup. Quick disconnect hydraulic fittings for your
tractor are supplied with mower.
