NOTE: An additional person's help may be required to
mount the snow thrower to the front of the tractor.
STEP 55: (SEE FIGURE 54)
• Place the tractor and snow thrower on a fl at, level
surface so that the tractor can be rolled forward to
attach the snow thrower.
• Remove the Attachment Pin from the snow thrower.
• Extend the auger belt out behind the snow thrower,
making sure the belt is still looped over the top of
the large drive pulley and underneath the two idler
pulleys. The "V" side of the belt must be seated in the
grooves of all three pulleys.
• Roll the tractor up behind the snow thrower, centering
it between the snow thrower's mounting plates.
• Raise the rear of the snow thrower by lifting up on
the lift handle until the notches in the mounting plates
align with the shoulder bolts in the tractor's side
plates. Guide the bolts into the notches.
• To ease the assembly of the auger drive belt, delay
the installation of the attachment pin until you have
assembled the belt as instructed in steps 56 and 57.
ATTACHING SNOW THROWER TO TRACTOR BEFORE INSTALLING THE AUGER BELT
STEP 56: (SEE FIGURE 55)
• The auger belt comes preassembled to the pulleys on
the snow thrower housing. Make sure the belt passes
over the top of the auger pulley and then twists 1/4 turn
to pass underneath each side idler pulley. The "V" side
of the belt must mate with the grooves of the pulleys.

end of the idler arm spring to the right side of the
clutch idler assembly. Swing the idler arm to the left
side.
• Place the auger belt around the rear pulley and
between the two pulleys on the idler arm. The "V"
side of the belt must be seated in the grooves of the
v-pulleys.
