IF YOUR MOWER DECK SIZE IS OTHER THAN 48"

tractor, measure the outer diameter of the tractor's
engine pulley. If the diameter of the pulley is less
than 6", move the 3/32" hairpin clip in the L.H.
adjusting chain from link #8 to link #5. (Links are
counted from the end of the chain attached to the
spring).

Attach the rear of the clutch/idler assembly to the
tractor frame by sliding the notched arms of the
assembly onto the shoulder bolts assembled to the
frame brackets. Lift the front of the assembly,
positioning the upper idler pulley so that it clears
the engine pulley. Attach the front of the assembly
to the hanger brackets using two pivot lock pins
and 1/8" hairpin clips. See figure 8.
