STEP 12: (SEE FIGURE 12)

Place the rear of the Thrust Channel between the two Rear Support Channels. Install four 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts (H) and 3/8" nylock nuts (K) using the most widely spaced holes that are aligned with slots.

Finger tighten only.

If the Rear Support Channels bump against bottom of the tractor, reattach the rear of the channels to a lower set of holes in the Rear Mounting Bracket. If there is more clearance than necessary between the Rear Support Channels and the bottom of the tractor, reattach the rear of the channels to a higher set of holes in the Rear Mounting Bracket.

Spread the Hanger Brackets apart as far as possible and center the Thrust Channel under the tractor. Tighten all bolts and nuts installed up to this point.

Measure the height of the front plate on the Thrust Channel. If it is not 4" to 5" above the ground, reinstall the clevis pins in the Hanger Brackets to a higher or lower hole position to attain the correct height.
