Note: This universal mounting bracket assembly is designed to
work with other available attachments, such as a weight kit used in
conjunction with the snow blade or snow thrower attachment. Utilize
the contact information on the front or back cover of this manual, or
contact the store in which you purchased this equipment to find out
more about available attachments for your specific tractor.

3. Secure with a carriage bolt (710-0276) and flange lock nut (712-
04063) packed in with the upright support bracket. See Fig. 7.
Mount Assembly on Tractor
Install the mounting assembly on the tractor as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the bagger mounting assembly over
the shoulder bolts, as in Fig. 8, on the tractor and line up the
hitch support hole on the mounting assembly with the hole on the
tractor's hitch.
2. Install the clevis pin (711-0309A) from hardware pack 689-00087
into the tractor's hitch and the assembly's hitch support and
secure with a hairpin clip (710-0117). See Fig. 9 on the following
page.
Note: Feed the clevis pin down through the hitch support and
secure it, using the hole closest to the head, underneath with the
hairpin clip. However, you may find it easier to feed the clevis pin
up through the hitch plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on
the topside.
