•Raise the tractor seat and remove the springs and bolts from the rear fender using a 1/2" socket for GT tractors or a 9/16" socket for LT tractors.

•Place the base tube assembly onto the rear fender. Align the front or rear slot in the base brackets with the spring mounting holes. Check for clearance with the seat lowered and the rear bagger (optional) attached. If needed, reposition the base brackets to a different set of holes in the base tubes.

•If the base leg tubes rub against the fender, attach the adhesive pads (K) to the bottom of the base leg tubes.

•Attach the seat springs and the base brackets to the rear fender using the spring bolts that you removed. On GT tractors, if the spring bolts were less than 1" long, use the 5/16" x 1" bolts (E) and 5/16" washers
