INSTALLING HANGER BRACKETS

For better clearance, lower the tractor's suspension arms using the attachment lift lever.

On Tractors With Foot Rest Brackets (Figure 7)

Remove the bolt and nut that fasten the L.H. and R.H. foot rest brackets to the frame. See figure 7.

Attach the L.H. Hanger Bracket (marked "L") to the inside of the tractor frame using two 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts, 3/8" lock washers and 3/8" hex lock nuts. The bolt heads go on the inside of the tractor frame. Repeat for the R.H. side. See figure 7.
