BLADE ASSEMBLY FOR ALL TRACTORS

STEP 1: (SEE FIGURE 15)

•Assemble the two angle lock bars together as shown in figure 6, so that all holes are aligned. Use one 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt (E) and one 3/8" nylock nut (L). Be sure to insert bolt from side indicated. Do not tighten at this time.

•Hold the angle lock bars so that the square holes are at the top. Insert the straight hook end of the angle lock spring through the small middle hole in both angle lock bars.

STEP 2: (SEE FIGURE 16)

•Insert the round hook end of the angle lock spring up through the hole in the spring mount bracket.

•Insert the angle lock bars down through the slot in the channel. Underneath the channel, place a 1" long spacer

(U)on each side of the angle lock bars and insert a 1/4" x 3-1/4" bolt (A) through the channel, angle lock bars and the spacers. Secure the bolt with a 1/4" nylock nut

(J).Tighten so that lock bars can pivot freely.

•At this time tighten the 3/8" carriage bolt and hex nut previously assembled to angle lock bars.

NOTE: When the angle lock bars are pulled back in slot, the pivot plate should unlock and be free to pivot to the right or left position.

•Using a hammer, assemble a 3/8" palnut (S) onto one end of the spring mount rod. Insert the other end of the spring mount rod through the pivot plate using the rear set of holes. Support the assembled end of the spring mount rod on a block of wood, and assemble the remaining palnut onto the other end of the rod.

STEP 4: (SEE FIGURE 18)

•Assemble a 3/8" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt (E) through the square hole in the cable mount bracket and through the square hole in the angle lock bars. (The carriage bolts should face in opposite directions.) Using pliers hold the cable mount bracket in position, angling down towards the L.H. hole in the channel as shown in figure 15. Secure with a 3/8" nylock nut (L). Tighten. Refer to the figure for the correct angle for the cable mount bracket.
