•Place a 4.95" long spacer (15) between the rear subframe mtg./link pin support bracket and the transmission housing, and align with the holes in both as shown in Figure 6. Insert the long hex screw removed earlier through the bracket and spacer and thread into the transmission housing, but do not fully tighten.

•Working from the rear of the tractor, slide the RH lower hitch link pin almost fully to the left.

•Hold the RH lift bracket assembly (13) so that its shorter side is to the left (toward transmission housing) and pointing downward. Slide the shorter side of the lift bracket just onto the hitch link pin. See Figure 7.

•Pivot the forward end of the RH lower 3-point hitch link upward between the two sides of the lift bracket and align with the hitch link pin. Slide the hitch link pin to the right until just through the hitch link. Refer to Figure 7.

•Place the short spacer (.625" long) between the lower 3-point hitch link and the longer side of the lift bracket; then slide the hitch link pin to the right through the spacer and fully through the lift bracket. Refer to Figure 7.

•While continuing to slide the hitch link pin to the right, slide the long spacer (1.125" long) onto the pin. Refer to Figure 7.

•Lift the sway chain assembly and separate the two sway chain clevis links to position a link on the inside and outside of the rear subframe mtg./link pin support bracket. Align the holes of the clevis links with the hole in the mounting bracket; then slide the hitch link pin toward the right through the clevis links and mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 7.

•Make sure the dowel pin on the left end of the hitch link pin aligns with the slot in the hub of the retainer bracket on the transmission housing and slide the pin fully to the right.

•Fully insert the klik pin (removed earlier) into the hole of the RH lower hitch link pin, and pivot the klik pin ring over the end of the hitch link pin to lock in position. Refer to Figure 7.



•Evenly tighten all the screws fastening both the front and rear subframe mounting brackets to secure the RH subframe assembly to the tractor. Re-tighten the four hex screws and flange lock nuts to secure the front subframe mounting bracket to the subframe rail.

•Reinstall the right rear tire, raise the tractor and remove the jack stand, and lower the tractor to the ground.

Installing LH Subframe and LH Lift Bracket Assemblies

•Use a jack to raise the left rear of the tractor so that the left rear tire is off the ground. Position a jack stand to support the tractor and remove the left rear wheel.

•To install the LH subframe assembly (2), refer to Figures 4 through 7 and follow the instructions for installing the RH subframe, adapting the instructions to the left side of the tractor.

•The LH lift bracket assembly (14) is installed in the same manner as the RH lift bracket assembly. Refer to Figure 7 and adapt the previous instructions to the left side of the tractor to install the LH lift bracket assembly.

•Evenly tighten all the screws fastening both the front and rear subframe mounting brackets to secure the LH subframe assembly to the tractor. Re-tighten the four hex screws and flange lock nuts to secure the front subframe mounting bracket to the subframe rail.

NOTE: If the sway spring was removed from the tractor’s 3-point hitch lower hitch links, reconnect the spring to the lower hitch links now.

Installing Mid PTO Cover

•From the rear of the tractor, locate the two rearmost hex screws in the bottom/left of the transmission housing. Remove the two screws. Refer to Figure 8.

•Position the mid PTO cover so that it cups the mid PTO linkage at the left lower/rear of the transmission, and align its two mounting holes with the holes in the bottom of the transmission housing. See Figure 8.
