Mount Assembly on Tractor

Install mounting assembly onto the tractor as follows:

1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting assembly over the

shoulder bolts, as in Figure 4-4, on the tractor and line up

the hitch support bracket center hole with the hole on the

tractor’s hitch.

Figure 4-4

2. Install the clevis pin (711-0309A) from hardware pack 689-

00328A into the tractor’s hitch and secure with a hairpin clip

(714-0117). See Figure 4-5.

Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch

plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it

may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch

plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.

The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier

to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision

should be based on operator preference.

NOTE: References to left, right, front and rear of the tractor are

from the operator’s position, unless otherwise stated.

• Before assembly, place the tractor on a firm, level surface,

disengage the PTO, stop the tractor engine and set the

parking brake.

• For convenience, pivot the seat forward and leave it in

that position until the grass collector is fully mounted and

assembled.

Assemble Mounting Brackets

To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the

mounting assembly pack and follow these steps:

1. Attach the two hitch side brackets to the universal rear

attachment bracket using two carriage bolts (710-0276) and

wing knobs (720-04122) from hardware pack 689-00328A.

Note: The hooks on the side brackets should point

downwards and the tabs on the rear plate point upwards as

shown in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2

2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to

the mounting assembly as shown in Figure 4-3.

Note: It might be easier during the mounting stage to

leave this hardware only finger tight to facilitate lining up

the hitch hole for the clevis pin. You will be instructed to

tighten this hardware later in this manual.
