To install:

1.Carefully pivot the tractor hood forward.

2.Remove the four screws from the underside of the hood scoop.

3.Line up the four holes in the hood scoop with the four holes visible through the tractor’s hood louvres. See Fig.

4.While holding the scoop in place, use a 3/8” socket wrench (or box wrench) to carefully tighten the scoop onto the hood.

Do NOT overtighten.

Attaching The Seat

Seat styles vary by tractor model and there are three different styles available:

•Standard Adjustment

•Quick Adjustment

•Knob Adjustment

If the seat for your tractor was not attached at the factory, refer to Fig. 3-5, Fig. 3-6, and Fig. 3-7 to identify your tractor’s seat style and follow the applicable instructions below to attach it.

NOTE: For shipping reasons, seats are either fastened to the tractor seat’s pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or mounted backward to the pivot bracket. In either case, free the seat from its shipping position and remove the two hex screws (or knobs, on models so equipped) from the bottom of seat before proceeding with applicable instructions below.

Standard Adjustment Seat

1.Position the shoulder screws (found on the base of the seat) inside the slot openings in the seat pivot bracket. Fig. 3-5.

2.Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot bracket, lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket with the remaining two holes in the seat’s base.

3.Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the two hex screws removed earlier. See Fig. 3-5.

4.To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the two hex screws on the bottom of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the two screws.
