1. Turn mower upside down on saw horses. If mower
has a bolt-on front shield, adjust shield all the way
down in long slots. Remove side shields. Leave
side skids on. If optional front roller has been

center baffle and drill two 7/16 diameter holes in
front of mower at the dimensions shown in parts
drawing.
3. Attach slotted angles (2) to leaf mulcher.
4. Place leaf mulcher over blades on mower. Attach
angles (2) and mower side shields to side frame
angle on mower. All 59 mowers with bolt-on front

Bolt side shields to mower using 3/8 flat washers
for spacers.

leaf mulcher to bottom of slots in front shield with 3/
8 x 1" bolts and flat washers. On mowers with bent-
down front frame, bolt leaf mulcher to inside of
mower in holes drilled in front frame using 3/8 x 1-
1/2" bolts and 5/8 long pipe spacers between leaf
mulcher and mower. On some mowers where 5/8"

holes in leaf mulcher rear plates and bolt rear of
leaf mulcher to deck using 3/8 x 1" bolts.

ally inside the leaf mulcher to see that it clears the
leaf mulcher rings. If necessary, the rings may be
re-shaped with a hammer to clear the leaf mulcher
rings.
