Place the loosely assembled frame onto the rear of
the tractor, hooking the notched ends of the mounting
brackets under the shoulder bolts. Attach the hitch
bracket to the tractor hitch using the clevis pin and a
1/8" hairpin clip. See figure 6.
Align the frame so that it is straight and level with the
tractor. Tighten the four 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts
(assembled in figure 4) which fasten the mounting
brackets to the hitch bracket.
Slide the 3/8" x 1" hex bolts along the hitch bracket
slots until they are bumped up against the back edge
of the tractor hitch. Tighten. See figure 6.
Place the tool box onto the frame so that №e heads
of the shoulder bolts in the bottom of the tool box fit
down Into the keyhole slots. Slide the tool box
fonward, slightly tilting up the back end, until the
clevis pins in the bottom of the tool box drop down
into the holes at the rear of the frame. Secure the tool
box to the frame with two 1/8" hairpin clips through
the clevis pins. See figure 7.
Tighten the two bolts (assembled in figure 5) which
fasten the brace strap to the mounting brackets. The
strap keeps the frame at the correct alignment width
when removing and reattaching the frame and the tool
box.
