6.3 Connecting the Mower-Pull Type
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended
14" from the PTO shaft end.
2. Block the mower wheels in place and use the
attached parking jack to raise or lower the
tongue clevis to the height of the tractor
drawbar.
3. NOTE: Always place jack foot on firm surface
or place board under jack for support.
4. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the
tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar hitch
hole with the mower hitch clevis. Turn off the
engine, secure the tractor in position, and
dismount.
5. To attach the Cutter insert the hitch pin through
the drawbar and tongue clevis. Once the pin is
inserted, attach the snap ring pin through the
hole on the hitch pin and snap in place.
6. Securely attach mower safety chain from
mower tongue to tractor drawbar or drawbar
support frame.
7. Lower the jack until the tongue is completely
supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from
the tongue and place on storage bracket of
mower main frame.
8. If using a hydraulic cylinder, connect hydraulic
hose ends into tractor hydraulic ports. Pressure
may need to be relieved from the system to
allow for ease of attachment.
9. If the mower has been attached to a 3-point
hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped
lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway
blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from
swaying side to side. Note: Never raise the 3-
point
lift
with
the
catastrophic driveline damage will occur.
