3_" HEX LOCK NUT

Attach the R.H. Side Plate (marked "R") to the right side of the tractor frame as shown in figure 5. For the front hole use a 3/8" x 1" hex bolt, a 3/8" lock washer, a 1/2" flat washer and a 3/8" hex lock nut. Use the flat washer as a shim between the frame and the side plate. For the rear hole use a 3/8" x 1" hex bolt, and a 3/8" lock washer. Repeat for the L.H. side.

NOTE: Depending on the tractor model, the bolt may insert freely into the front hole or it may screw into the hole. If the hole is not threaded, the bolt will form threads as it is screwed in.
