ASSEMBLY
DRIVESHAFT & FRONT PUMP MOUNTING
Install spacer plate on tractor engine using bolts and lockwashers as shown in
parts section. Grease sleeve section of the driveshaft and install from the side of the
engine compartment. Once you have the sleeve section in place, bolt to spacer plate
using bolts and lockwashers as shown in parts section. Install shaft end of driveshaft
through opening and into driveshaft sleeve. Shaft and sleeve yokes should be aligned,
if shaft does not insert easily in sleeve, turn shaft 180°, and then install. Shaft end
must be installed in correct orientation, failure to do so may result in damage to
tractor and/or driveshaft. After installation of shaft end, install pump mount. Next,
install pump. After pump is secured, install driveshaft in to pump shaft. The end of
driveshaft should be no more than 1/2” away from contact with pump housing. Tighten
crimping bolt on driveshaft. Lube driveshaft & check all hoses, flanges, the pump,
pump mount, driveshaft and mounting plate to ensure all fasteners are tightened before
operation.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE TRACTOR UNTIL ALL HOSES ARE
ATTACHED, TANK IS FILLED WITH PROPER OIL AND BALL VALVES ARE
OPEN! STARTING AT THIS TIME WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
PUMP.
ADJUSTING REAR WHEELS
Follow the instructions in the tractor owners manual for adjusting tires and
rims. The rear wheels MUST be adjusted to the widest setting. NOTE: This may
require switching the wheels to opposite sides of the tractor. Also take note of any width
restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of installation, it is best to leave rear
wheels removed during installation of the mower).
