Lift Variations When Using Attachments

When a front-mounted attachment such as a snowthrower
or dozer blade is used with the tractor, the lift mechanism
must be locked to provide downward force. When the
mower is reinstalled the downward pressure lock must be
released so that the mower can float.
Hydraulic Lift Models
When using a snowthrower or dozer, the downward
pressure lock plate (Figure 44) and an additional pin is
installed. These parts are included with the attachment.
Note that the washers are not used with the lock plate.
When mowing, the downward pressure lock plate is
removed and replaced with two washers. The additional
pin is also removed.
Fully lower the hydraulic lift. The lift assembly is spring
loaded so it will need to be held in the down position to
perform of the following procedures.
