Front Roller Installation
Place and secure mower in vertical position to make
front roller installation easier.
Four holes for mounting the front roller are provided in
the front center mower deck. Mount the left and right
roller brackets in these holes. The hole pattern for the
roller brackets determines which bracket is used for
right and/or left.
On the L59 mower, the left roller bracket should be
installed so highest hole is placed to the rear with
bracket angle extending left, (1). Install right roller
bracket so highest hole is to the rear with bracket angle
extending right, (3).
On the L306 mower, the left roller bracket angle should
be installed so highest hole is to the front with bracket
angle extending left, (5). Install right roller bracket with
highest hole forward and with bracket angle extending
right, (4).
Attach brackets with 3/8 x 1" carriage bolts and flanged
lock nuts.
Insert rod through roller and install into the rear roller
bracket holes. Secure each end of the rod with a 3/16"
cotter pin. Turn roller by hand to ensure it rolls freely.

Leaf Mulcher Installation
Installation of the leaf mulcher on L59 and L306 mow-
ers is very similar. Instructions are given together
except for differences which are noted separately.
Place mower upside-down on saw horses or other sup-
ports.
Remove side shields but do not remove side skids.
Remove front roller if installed.
Remove center baffle and brackets.
On L59 installations, measure 14" from the center slot
in front of mower to each side and mark. Measure 7/8"
down from top of mower deck and drill two 7/16" holes.
On L306 installations, measure 17" from the mower
centerline to each side and mark. Measure 7/8" down
from top of mower deck and drill three 7/16" holes.
On L59 installations, the angle lugs have a bolt hole
and a slot. Insert a 3/8 x 1" bolt in the bolt hole and
attach to leaf mulcher side brackets.
On L306 installations, install attachment angle to leaf
mulcher side brackets. Note the shape of attachment
angle. Position as illustrated and attach with a 3/8 x 1"
bolt, flat washer, lock washer and nut.
