This section contains instructions for preparing the
tractor for installation of the Front Hitch System.
WARNING
Place the tractor on a firm and level surface,
disengage the PTO, and turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position. Chock the front wheels to
prevent the tractor from rolling in either
direction.
WARNING
Allow the tractor to cool if it has been recently
operated.

On some tractors, socket head screws were
used to secure the seat slide channels to the
tractor frame.
1. Slide the seat rearward and remove the two torx
head screws (or socket hd. screws) from the seat
slide channels (See Figure 4).

2. Slide the seat forward and remove the two rear
torx head screws ( or socket hd. screws) from the

The front hitch attachment can be installed
without removing the tractor fenders. However,
because of limited access and to ensure proper

and running board assembly be removed from
the tractor.
