•Move the attachment clutch lever on the dash panel to the disengaged (down) position.

on the dash panel is moved.

through the arm. Secure with+a 5/64" hairpin cotter. See_igure 8.

Be sure that the loose end of the engagement rod is lifted up toward the front of the tractor (as shown in figure 9) when performing the next operation.

You can temporarily support the rod using a rubber band tied to the engine pulley keeper.

Lift the front of the assembly, fitting the sides into the R.H. and L.H. hanger brackets. Attach the assem- bly to the brackets using two pivot lock pins and 1/8" hairpin cotters. See figure 9.
