Refer to Figure 1-1:
The 14" distances between center of drawbar hitch pin
hole to end of tractor PTO shaft and 8" distance from top

maintained.
IMPORTANT: Ballast may need to be added to your

DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists between tractor and implement. Do
not allow anyone to stand between tractor and implement
while backing-up to implement. Never operate 3-Point lift
controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.
Refer to Refer to Figure 1-2:
1. Make certain jack stand is properly attached to the
mower hitch and secured with attachment pin.
2. Back tractor within close proximity of clevis.
3. Raise or lower jack stand to align clevis with tractor
drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower and
upper plates of clevis.
4. Back tractor up to mower hitch until holes in drawbar
and clevis are aligned.
5. Attach mower with a 3/4" hitch pin and secure with

removed from the jack. Remove jack and store on
storage tube located on divider gearbox shield.
7. Attach safety chain on the frame tongue to the
