Remove the nuts from the two bolts in each side of
the tractor, leaving the bolts in place. See figure 2.

original nuts and two 3/8" flat washers. The brack-

distance between the rear of the brackets.

NOTE: If no bolt and nut are present in a hole, use a
3/8" x 1-1/4" hex bolt, 3/8" lock washer and 3/8"
