Remove the nuts from the two bolts in each side of
the tractor, leaving the bolts in place. See figure 2.
Attach the Mounting Brackets to the bolts using the
original nuts and two 3/8" flat washers. The brack-
ets should be turned so that the bends increase the
distance between the rear of the brackets. See
Figure 2.
NOTE: If no bolt and nut are present in a hole, use a
3/8" x 1-1/4" hex bolt, 3/8" lock washer and 3/8"
