1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended
14" from the PTO shaft end for a 540 RPM
mower and 16" for a 1000 RPM unit.
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. Adjust the mower tongue to be level
and parallel with the tractor drawbar using the
control rod connecting the mower tongue to the
deck.

place board under jack for support.

tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar hitch
hole with the mower hitch clevis. Turn off the
tractor engine, set the parking brake, place the
tractor in park, and dismount.

clevis and drawbar and retain in position with a
1" locknut (4). The bolt and locknut should be
tightened securely to support the tongue

clevis. Never attach mower to the tractor with a
pin not having a nut.

drawbar or drawbar support frame..
