ATTACHING SNOW THROWER TO TRACTOR
NOTE: An additional person's help may be required to mount the snow thrower to the front of the tractor.
STEP 55: (SEE FIGURE 54)
•Place the tractor and snow thrower on a flat, level surface so that the tractor can be rolled forward to attach the snow thrower.
Remove the Attachment Pin from the snow thrower. Extend the auger belt out behind the snow thrower, making sure the belt is still looped over the top of the large drive pulley and underneath the two idler pulleys. The "V" side of the belt must be seated in the grooves of all three pulleys.
Roll the tractor up behind the snow thrower, centering it between the snow thrower's mounting plates.
Raise the rear of the snow thrower by lifting up on the lift handle until the notches in the mounting plates align with the shoulder bolts in the tractor's side plates. Guide the bolts into the notches.
To ease the assembly of the auger drive belt, delay the installation of the attachment pin until you have assembled the belt as instructed in steps 56 and 57.
