IMPORTANT: Before assembly, place the tractor on
a firm, level surface, disengage the PTO, stop the
tractor engine and set the parking brake.
1. Assemble the mounting bracket assembly as shown
in Figure 3-1.
NOTE: The mounting bracket assembly may have been
preassembled at the factory, if this is the case, skip Step

2. For convenience, pivot the seat forward and leave
it in that position until the grass collector is fully
mounted and assembled.
3. Position the bracket assembly to the outside of the
hitch plate. See Figure 3-2.
4. Push the hooked ends of the bracket assembly in (A)
and under the shoulder bolts (B) and swing in the
bottom down over the hitch plate aligning with the
hole on the hitch plate (C). See Figure 3-3.
5. Insert the clevis pin through the aligned holes in both
the bracket assembly and the hitch plate and secure
with the hairpin clip. Refer to Figure 3-4.
NOTE: There are two holes in the clevis pin. Be sure
to insert the hairpin clip in the upper hole to properly
