Mounting the Idler Assembly
(42, 46, 50, 54 inch Decks
with Electric PTO)
If you’re mounting this snow thrower attachment to a
tractor equipped with any deck other than a 42, 46, 50
or 54-inch deck with electric PTO, proceed to Mounting
the Undercarriage Assembly (all tractors).
However, if you’re mounting this snow thrower attach-
ment to a tractor equipped with a 42, 46, 50 or 54-inch
deck with electric PTO, proceed as follows:
NOTE: If you engage your tractor’s cutting deck by
using your left hand to pivot a lever forward, your tractor
has a Manual PTO. If you engage your tractor’s cutting
deck by pulling outward on a small knob located on the
tractor’s dash, your tractor has an Electric PTO.
1. Remove the flange nut noted in Figure 8, which
secures the double-idler bracket to the undercar-
riage. Leave the Shoulder Spacer in place.
2. Attach the idler assembly (packaged separately)
over the hex screw and shoulder spacer on the
surface of the undercarriage. See Figure 8.
3. Fasten the idler bracket to the undercarriage with the
hardware just removed. See Figure 8.
4. Attach one end of the extension spring (732-0594A)
to the hole in the idler assembly just mounted and
the opposite end of the extension spring to the
keeper pin as illustrated in Figure 8.
5. Position the upper v-belt (754-0371A) as illustrated
in Figure 9.
NOTE: For a complete detailed diagram of how to route
the upper v-belt, see Routing The Upper V-belt later in

and level surface.
Place the PTO in
the disengaged
(OFF) position, set
the parking brake,
