IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to have a second
person assist you to complete the following steps.
1. Install a shoulder bolt on each side of the tractor and
secure with a lock nut, as seen in Fig. 6-7
2. Position the auger housing assembly in front of the tractor
as seen in Fig. 6-6. Lay the belt and support tubes on the
installation surface.
3. Carefully move the tractor forward (by pushing, NOT
driving it) so that support tubes found on the rear of
the auger housing assembly are positioned between
the tractor's front tires. Set the parking brake.
4. With the help of an assistant, lift up the auger housing
and move it so that it rests over the shoulder bolts
installed in Step 1 of this section. See Fig. 6-7.
5. Maneuver the auger housing until the mounting holes
line up. Insert the two quick release pins from your
hardware pack into the top hole on each side as seen in
Fig. 6-8.
Attaching Support Tubes
1. Secure the left support tube to the front of the
undercarriage assembly with the clevis pin and hairpin
clip removed earlier. See Fig. 6-9.
2. Repeat the previous step on the right side.

Attaching Reflectors
Peel off the backing from each of the reflectors to
expose the adhesive surface. Adhere the reflectors to
the rear of the tractor's fender (one on the left and one
on the right) so that the reflectors simulate taillights.
