the left or right side of the three point hitch by
screwing the eyebolt nut to the top and locking
eyebolt in place with a 3/8" serrated flange nut

CAUTION
Before connecting snowblower driveline to
tractor drive shaft, make sure driveline is not
too long in raised, lowered and middle
position. If the driveline is too long it must be
shortened, to avoid damaged to tractor. See
pages 27 to 29 for instructions.
