STEP 1 : (SEE FIGURE 2)

Remove tractor hood. (Refer to tractor manual.) Remove the browning shield as shown below.

STEP 4: (SEE FIGURE 5)

Spread ends of bumper enough to fit slots onto bolts in rear mounting holes in tractor frame.

The bumper has three mounting holes. The rear hole provides the most clearance while the forward holes provide a neater appearance. Use a hole that provides enough clearance for hood to stay in raised position when opened. Insert a hex bolt (C) through tractor frame and into desired mounting hole on each side of bumper and secure with a hex nut (D).

IMPORTANT: Before fully tightening nuts, be sure tractor hood will stay in raised position when opened.
