FLOATING AND FRONT TO BACK HITCH ADJUSTMENTS

The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been de-

signed for front to back flotation when mowing on un-

even terrain. The lower 3-point hitch blocks also are

adjustable from front to back for additional field float and

tractor clearance. The lower hitch blocks have a large

pivot pin and a smaller locking pin, page 14 (#4) & (#5).

When operating a mower equipped with four gauge

wheels do not use lock pin (#4) unless desired for trans-

port.

The mower can be operated with hitch blocks in either

position. Depending upon the use of front gauge

wheels, the lower hitch blocks can be used without the

locking pin. If mower is not equipped with front gauge

wheels and leveling chains are used, the locking pin

should be installed. The lower hitch blocks and top link

rear braces can be adjusted front to back as shown in
