•Remove the engine pulley keeper from the side of the tractor frame by removing the washer and nut that secure the keeper. Attach the new pulley keeper supplied with the snow thrower, reusing the original bolt, washer and nut. See figure 17. NOTE: Some tractors may already be equipped with an identical pulley keeper.
•Attach the clutch/idler assembly to the tractor frame as follows. Hook the assembly's notched arms onto the two shoulder bolts you assembled to the inside of the tractor frame. Lift the front of the assembly and attach it to the R.H. and L.H. hanger brackets using two pivot lock pins and 1/8" hairpin cotters. See figure 17.
