Assembling The Support Assembly

Locate the upright support bracket and the bag support assembly. Assemble it by following these steps:

1.Lay the bag support assembly topside down with the mounting bracket portion facing upwards.

2.Insert the notched end of the vertical support bracket into the bag support assembly, as in Fig. 4-5, and secure with a 5/16-18 carriage bolt and 5/16-18 flange lock nut. See Fig.

4-6.

2.Install the clevis pin from hardware pack 689-00087 into the tractor’s hitch and secure with a hairpin clip. See Fig. 4-8.

Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside. The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision should be based on operator preference.
