FiTTiNG TO SEARS TRACTORS

(and other tractors listed on white fold out sheets)

If you have a Murray brand tractor with a 38", 40" or 46" deck, go directly to instructions on page 16.

ATTENTION: The yellow fold out sheet contains the templates for Sears tractors.

,Identify your mower deck (see fold outs) and cut out the correct discharge opening template for your mower deck size. If there is no template for your deck size you can make your own template by marking around a piece of cardboard held against the edge of the discharge opening.

,Tape the template to the face of the adapter, locating template approximately 1/2" from front and 1/4" down from top of adapter. Keep as close to top as possible. See figure 24. Mark outline of template on face of adapter using white crayon, nail or scriber. Drill a starting hole inside the outline, then use a saber saw or key hole saw to cut out the opening. See figure 24.

1/4" DOWN

IMPORTANT: Keep cut-offas close to

the top edge as possible,
