NOTE: Your tractor’s cutting deck, PTO belt and front deck stabilizer bracket must be removed prior to mounting the snow thrower attachment. Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual for detailed instructions. If your tractor is equipped with any front-end accessory

(i.e. front bumper kit), it must also be removed.

NOTE: The PTO cable should be hanging down under you tractor after you removed the mowing deck. You will need to slide the undercarriage unit under your trac- tor in position for which it will be mounted. The slanted side should be pointed towards the front of your tractor.

NOTE: The V-belt can be identified by the part number embossed on the outside of the belt.

5.Route the belt around the spindle pulley, inside of the belt keepers and to the inside of the idler pulley. The spring will connect to the Idler bracket but you may install this once the undercarriage is mounted. Otherwise it could fall off or get in the way in the following steps. If you wish to connect this later, retain the spring for later installation. See the Figure 20 illustration on the following page.
