Assembling The Support Assembly
Locate the upright support bracket and the bag support
assembly. Assemble it by following these steps:
1. Lay the bag support assembly topside down with the
mounting bracket portion facing upwards.
2. Insert the notched end of the vertical support bracket into
the bag support assembly, as in Fig. 4-5, and secure with a
5/16-18 carriage bolt and 5/16-18 flange lock nut. See Fig.
4-6.

Mount Assembly on Tractor
Install mounting assembly on tractor as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting assembly over
the shoulder bolts, as in Fig. 4-7, on the tractor and line up
the hitch support bracket center hole with the hole on the
tractor's hitch.
Figure 4-7
2. Install the clevis pin from hardware pack 689-00087 into the
tractor's hitch and secure with a hairpin clip. See Fig. 4-8.
Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch
plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it
may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch
plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.
The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier
to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision
should be based on operator preference.
Figure 4-8
Note: If you decided to leave the hitch support only
finger tight during the assembly process, tighten all of the
hardware securely at this time.
If Mounting Assembly onto 700 Series Tractors
Note: Install two clevis pins through the mounting assembly and
secure to the 700 series mounting brackets installed earlier with
click pins provided in the hardware pack. Refer back to Fig. 4-3.
