STEP 4: (SEE FIGURE 4)

This step is for Sears tractors only. If you have a tractor brand other than Sears, skip to step 5.

•Stack the short Hanger Bracket on top of the long Hanger Bracket with the ends of the brackets pointing up. Align the fi rst and third slots in both brackets with the middle set of slots in the thrust channel as shown.

•Fasten the brackets to the thrust channel using two 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolts (G) and 3/8" nylock nuts (K). Spread the brackets so that the ends are approximately 12-1/4" apart, measured from the outside. Do not tighten.

Skip to step 9 on page 10.

If you have a Sears tractor, skip to step 9 on page 10.

•Refer to the illustrations on page 9 for examples of how to attach the Hanger Brackets on various tractors. Select the set of slots in the top of the Thrust Channel that will postion the channel's front plate slightly out in front of the tractor frame. The distance from the slots to the front plate must be slightly greater than the distance "L" in step 5.

•Hold the Hanger Brackets with the ends pointing up. Stack the short Hanger Bracket on top of the long Hanger Bracket. If distance "H" measured in step 5 was less than 6", hold the brackets together and fl ip them over so that the ends point down.

•Slide the Hanger Brackets apart so that the overall length is slightly less than distance "W" measured in step 5. Center the Hanger Brackets on top of the Thrust Channel and attach them to the selected slots using two 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolts (G) and 3/8" nylock nuts (K). Do not tighten.

Proceed to step 9 on page 10.

•Measure the distance from the center of the frame brackets to the front of the tractor frame. This will be referred to as distance "L" in step 6.

•Measure to determine which of the two holes at the bottom of the Frame Bracket is closest to being 6" from the ground. The height of this hole will be referred to as distance "H" in step 6.

Measure the inside distance between the Frame Brackets. This distance will be referred to as distance "W" in step 6.
