front hole of caster and deck rail; and secure with 3/8" lock washer and nut. In some cases it is necessary to open up the end link of the chain slightly so a 3/8" bolt will pass through it.

On IH184, install 1/2 x 5/8 x 7/16 bushing (39) in tractor rockshaft arm. Install 1/2" flat washer on each side of arm and install 1/2 NC x 1-3/4 hex head cap screw. Install 1/2 x 5/8 x 5/16 sleeve (3) in lift lug (2) and bolt it to inside of rockshaft arm.

Belt Shield

Attach belt shield (13) to rear of tractor over drive sheave by installing 5/16 x 3/4 flange head bolt into tapped holes on rear of tractor.

Casters (Optional) (See page 19)

Assemble casters to deck rails with offset inward. Cau- tion must be taken when turning and backing up that caster wheels do not lock up with front tractor tires.

Leaf Mulcher (Optional) (See page 22)

1.Turn mower upside down on saw horses. If mower has a bolt-on front shield, adjust shield all the way down in long slots. Remove side shields. Leave side skids on. If optional front roller has been installed, it must be removed.

2.On mowers with bent-down front frame, remove center baffle and drill two 7/16 diameter holes in front of mower at the dimensions shown in parts drawing.

3.Attach slotted angles (2) to leaf mulcher.

4.Place leaf mulcher over blades on mower. Attach angles (2) and mower side shields to side frame angle on mower. All 59 mowers with bolt-on front shield will use front shield hole to attach angles (2). Bolt side shields to mower using 3/8 flat washers for spacers.

5.On mowers with bolt-on front shield, bolt front of leaf mulcher to bottom of slots in front shield with 3/ 8 x 1" bolts and flat washers. On mowers with bent- down front frame, bolt leaf mulcher to inside of mower in holes drilled in front frame using 3/8 x 1- 1/2" bolts and 5/8 long pipe spacers between leaf mulcher and mower. On some mowers where 5/8" pipe may be too long, substitute 3/8 flat washers.

6.Drill 7/16 holes in rear of mower deck through holes in leaf mulcher rear plates and bolt rear of leaf mulcher to deck using 3/8 x 1" bolts.

7.Tighten all bolts securely. Turn each blade individu- ally inside the leaf mulcher to see that it clears the leaf mulcher rings. If necessary, the rings may be re-shaped with a hammer to clear the leaf mulcher rings.
