Assembly Instructions

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

1.Remove the mower deck from the tractor if necessary. Refer to the appropriate Tractor Owner’s Manual.

2.Attach each of the lift brackets to the predrilled holes on the front chassis cross bar with a 5/16-18 x 1 in. bolt and a Whiz locknut. The locknuts should be on the front sides of the lift brackets. Refer to Lift Bracket Installa- tion illustration. The RH bracket is attached us- ing the existing battery pan mount bolt on newer models. On earlier models, obtain the 5/16-18 x 1 in. bolt and nut locally to attach the RH bracket.

NOTE: Predrilled holes exist only on Walker tractors built after 1984. For earlier models, drill two 5/16 in. (8 mm) holes in the front chassis cross bar at the positions indicated in the Lift Bracket Installation illustration.

IMPORTANT: For all 1980 to 1984 tractors, remove the battery before drilling the RH hole. Reinstall the battery after the lift brackets have been installed. Refer to the appropriate Tractor Owner’s Manual for battery removal and installation procedures.
