Mower Installation
& Removal__
li^ACfOR/MOWER COMBINATIONS^
Tractor/mower combinations are shown in
the chart. For the 36 inch and 48 inch
mowers, always use the PTO rod shipped
with mower. For the 42 inch mower, the
correct PTO rod to use depends on the
tractor. Model 6111 always uses a shorter
(17-1/4") PTO rod. Models 6116 and 6118
always use a longer (19") PTO rod. See
figure 1 to measure a rod. (When a 42"
mower is shipped with a tractor the correct
PTO rod is supplied.)
