appropriate tractor models for installation of the snow thrower
attachment. Some instructions apply only to specific production
model years. The production models referred to will be noted in
the heading for those instructions. Skip all instructions that do
not apply to your installation.
WARNING! If the tractor has been recently
operated, the muffler, exhaust pipe, and
surrounding areas will be HOT. Allow the tractor to
cool before beginning preparation.
NOTE: The mower deck and its front lift rod, or any other front
mounted attachment must be removed from the tractor.
Remove the front bumper from the tractor frame by 1.
removing the hex tap screws securing the bumper in each
side of the tractor frame. Slide the bumper out of frame.
Store screws and bumper for later reassembly when the
snow thrower is removed. Refer to Figure 4-9.
Check for the presence of red reflector labels on the rear 2.
fender. If none are present, install the two reflector labels
provided with the snow thrower attachment. Thoroughly
clean the rear fender. Remove the backing from the
adhesive side of one reflector label. Position the label
horizontally and carefully affix to one side of the rear
fender of the tractor. Install the other reflector label to the
