STEP 5: (SEE FIGURE 6)

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. Attach the bumper using either standard hex bolts and whizlock nuts or self threading bolts and lock washers. Use the self threading bolts if standard hex bolts do not insert freely into the hole in the tractor frame.

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