8. Remove the shoulder bolts that pass through the
front hanger bracket, front pivot bracket, pivot bar,
and frame.
See Figure 3.9.
9. Remove the hex screws on the left side of the tractor
that secure the front pivot bracket.
See Figure 3.10.
10. Remove the front screw on the right side of the pivot
bracket. Loosen the rear screw. This will allow the
bracket to rotate forward, allowing the pivot bar to be
removed from the frame.
NOTE: Support the pivot bar during this procedure. Failure
to do so may allow it to drop from bracket to the
ground.
1. Install in reverse order of disassembly.
Installation notes
• Apply anti-seize compound liberally to all of the
friction surfaces of the pivot bar, particularly the
round boss that serves as the central pivot point.
• Replacing all of the plastic bushings while the pivot bar is disassembled makes economic and mechanical
sense.
• Grease all moving parts on reassembly, using MTD P/N 737-0300A (Benelene), or similar grease.
