IMPORTANT: Before assembly, place the tractor on
a firm, level surface, disengage the PTO, stop the
tractor engine and set the parking brake.
1. Remove the top four self-tapping screws from the rear
of the lawn tractor. See Figure 7 on the previous page.
2. Place the right hand grass catcher support bracket (F1
from Figure 4), in position, with the wide end on top and
the narrow end pointing down as shown in Figure 8.
3. Secure the support bracket to the tractor frame with two
self-tapping screws earlier removed. Refer to Figure 8.
Repeat on the other side using part F2 from Figure 4.
NOTE: If the grass collection system is removed for
any reason, it is not necessary to remove the support
brackets from the tractor.
4. Insert a shoulder bolt (C in Figure 4) from the outside
of the bracket through the outer hole on the support
bracket. Secure with a nut (A in Figure 4). See Figure

1. Remove the two nuts and bolts on each side of the
mounting bracket holding the hitch plate.
2. Rotate the hitch plate 180° from its original position.
Re-insert the four bolts through mounting bracket
and hitch plate frame and secure with nuts removed
earlier. Use the outer holes (furthest from the mount-
ing hooks) on the mounting bracket. See Figure 10.
3. For convenience, pivot the seat forward and leave it in
that position until the grass collector is fully mounted
and assembled.
4. Position the hooked ends of the mounting bracket
assembly to the outside of the support brackets and
over the shoulder bolts just installed on both sides of
the tractor frame. See Figure 11.
5. Insert the clevis pin (J in Fig. 4) through the aligned
holes in both the bracket assembly and the hitch plate
and secure with the hairpin clip (I in Fig. 4). See
Figure 12 for reference.
IMPORTANT: There are two holes in the clevis pin.
Be sure to insert the hairpin clip in the upper hole to
properly secure the bracket assembly to the hitch plate.
