HITCH INSTALLATION

NOTE: If your tractor is not equipped with the Large Lift
Lever, part no.1691832, install it at this time. Follow the
instructions supplied with the kit (a copy of the instruc-
tion sheet can be found in the back of this manual). The
rear hitch bracket, washers, and hairpin clips (B, C, D,
Figure 34) need to be installed with the left lever kit. The
pivot bar of the lift lever kit goes through the rear hitch
bracket and washers.
1. Increase front tire pressure to 20 psi (138 kPa) to
compensate for added weight. Be sure both tires
have equal pressure.
2. From the front of tractor, slide the hitch under the
tractor.
3. See Figure 33. Turn the wheels fully left and lift the
front hitch bar (A) up onto the tractor brackets (D).
Make sure it is seated fully into the tractor brackets.
Install the long hitch pin (B) through the bracket (bot-
tom rear holes) and secure it with the safety clip (C).
