and idler bracket. Install 5/8 x 2-1/2 carriage bolt through slot and idler, and secure with 5/8" nut and lock washer.

Install a 5/8 x 3" bolt through second idler. Put these 5/8" flat washers over bolt, and install assembly to right side of rear vertical slot in idler bracket. Secure with a 5/8" flat washer and nut.

After drive belt has been installed, install rear belt shield (19) over bolt installed in rear idler and secure with another 5/8" nut and two 5/8" flat washers.

Drive Sheave

Remove paint from bore of drive sheave. Install large drive sheave onto tractor belt pulley shaft using tractor key and nut. A flat washer is provided to be installed between nut and sheave. If your tractor has a tapered shaft which is too small for this sheave (made prior to 1939), it will be necessary to install a late model belt pulley shaft (AC part 208959) or to build up the old shaft with shims or weld to fit.

Belt Assembly and Adjustment

Slide mower under tractor and pin push channel to idler bracket with 5/8 x 1-3/4 clevis pin. Put belt on, see Belt Assembly and Adjustment. Make major adjustments by sliding mower fore and aft using 6 holes in channel arm as required. Make minor adjustments with idlers.

Lift Assembly

Attach the lift frame (11) to tractor using upper right hand clutch housing hole for front end of the bracket and 1/2" vertical hole in square tubing on tractor foot rest for the rear attaching point.

For hydraulic lift, assemble triangular plate (12) onto lift frame using 5/8 x 2-1/4 bolt (39), bushing (13), two flat washers, and lock nut with forked end rearward and down.

Remove cylinder from rear of tractor, remove hose and install longer hose provided, using 45° swivel adaptor between valve and hose. Install 90° swivel end of hose in cylinder and straight end in 45° adaptor previously installed.

Install cylinder onto attaching frame on inside of frame at the threaded hole using a 5/8 x 3" bolt. Put bolt through cylinder, then run a nut up on the bolt, screw bolt through the plate, install a nut on outside and tighten. Use a 7/16" clevis pin and cotter pin to attach the cylinder to the triangular plate.

Attach 33-link chain (17) to keyhole lug on mower deck and secure with plastic caplug (14). Attach 7-link chain

(15)to triangular plate with 3/8 x 1-1/4" bolt and flange lock nut. Connect the chains together by installing the lower end of 7-link chain (15) through the middle of

longer chain (17), and secure by installing 3/16" safety pin (16) through end of link in chain (15).

Adjust chains so the mower raises level without pulling sideways or hitting rear tires. Also adjust chain so mower does not hit bottom of tractor or tires when fully raised.

Check to make sure the lift triangle does not hit the tractor starter. If it does, use washers to shim lift trian- gle or lift support frame away from tractor.

If manual height adjustment is used, refer to page 22.

Tractor Wheel Adjustment

On model “B” tractors, the right tire may be fully extended and the mower will cut beyond it, but the left rear tire must be moved in if the mower is to cut clear.

For model “C” tractors, the right tire must be put within four inches of its most inward position for the mower to cut beyond the tire track. With the left tire in its most inward position, the mower will still not quite cut beyond the tire track.

Belt Assembly and Adjustment

Models used on: 59C, L59, and L306 model AC52, AC54, BMC, B-25, D, D10-D12, F, F10, H3, GM2, GM4, JD85, JD95, JM, K17, K22, K28, KD, KL, K210, K260, MF, M25, S, S55, VC, U, etc.

First put belt on the bottom groove, right hand side of the center sheave. Then thread it to left, around the left hand sheave.
