SECTION 6: PREPARING THE TRACTOR
NOTE: References to LEFT and RIGHT indicate the left
and right sides of the tractor and tiller attachment when
facing forward in the operator’s position.
NOTE: If the tractor is equipped with a mower deck,
remove it now. Refer to the tractor’s operator’s manual
for instruction on removing the mower deck and
hardware.
IMPORTANT: The use of this tiller attachment requires
the use of the weight bracket 190-307-100, and the
weight kit part number 190-390-100 on the front of the
machine. It is recommended that three weights be used
(three 42lb. suitcase weights). Without front weights,
steering will be extremely difficult and there is potential
for backwards tip over on uneven surfaces. Install these
pieces while preparing the tractor for tilling.
Installing the Lift Switch
The lift switch for the tiller attachment requires
permanent mounting to the tractor’s dash. Remove the
wiring harness from the electric lift cylinder, a part of the
attachment hitch assembly, by unplugging the
connector located near the electric lift cylinder. Refer to
Figure 1.
The lift switch is shipped in a separate bag that can be
found in the box with the electric lift cylinder.
Drilling a hole in the dash is required to mount the lift
switch and a template is provided on page 23 for
correct placement of the hole. Retrieve the template
from the rear of the book following the instructions from
that page, and secure it to the dash panel with tape.
Refer to Figure 4. Complete the following steps to
properly install the lift switch and electric harness:
• Open the hood of the tractor and carefully inspect
the area below the marked hole location as seen in
Figure 4. Check the area for wires and secure them
as necessary to prevent damage.
• Using a 1/2” drill bit, drill a hole through the plastic
dash panel being certain to center on the drill bit on
the marked location.
• The hex nut is installed on the lift switch prior to
shipping, remove the nut now. Working from
underneath the dash, push the switch through the
newly drilled hole in the dash panel with the threads
showing on the outside and the flat edge of the
threads facing right. Refer to Figure 5.
Figure 4
• Secure the lift switch by threading on the nut
removed in the last step, now.
• Working under the dash, connect the five slot
connector in the lift switch wiring harness to the lift
switch.
• Feed the opposite end of the wiring harness, the
end with the two slot connector on it, down toward
the right side of the frame. Continue routing the
harness toward the rear of the tractor between the
running board and the right frame, being certain to
attach it where it will not get pinched by moving
parts.
Figure 5
• Route the wire harness at the back of the tractor
over the hitch plate. Then route it toward the left
side of the tractor where the connector for the
electric lift cylinder will be after the attachment hitch
is mounted.
