Attaching The Steering Wheel

If the steering wheel for your tractor did not come attached, the hardware for attaching it has been packed within the steering wheel, beneath the steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the steering wheel cap and remove the hardware.

1.With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight forward, place the steering wheel over the steering shaft.

2.Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over the steering wheel and secure with the hex bolt. See Fig. 3-3.

Figure 3-3

3.Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the steering wheel and push downward until it “clicks” into place.

Attaching The Seat

If the seat for your tractor was not attached at the factory, refer to the following steps.

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 adjustment knob from the bottom of seat before proceeding with the instructions below.

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

Fig. 3-4.

2.Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot bracket, lining up the center rear slot in the pivot bracket with the remaining hole in the seat’s base.

3.Select desired position for the seat, and secure with the adjustment knob removed earlier.

4.To adjust the position of the seat on models so equipped, loosen the adjustment knob on the bottom of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the adjustment knob.
