Place the clutch/idler assembly on the floor on the left side of the tractor.

Attach the tractor's mower clutch cable to the cable bracket on the clutch/idler assembly. Secure the cable housing guide (groove down) to the cable bracket using the original collar and a 5/64" hair cotter pin ( JJ).

Place a spacer (RR) on the welded pin on the idler arm. Hook the end of the clutch cable spring over the pin and secure it with a 1/4" washer (T) and a 5/64" hair cotter pin (JJ).

Align cable bracket with welded pin and tighten the nut assembled in step 9.
