8. Attach cable end fitting and long spacer to right

hand hole in angle stop and channel using 1/4" x

1-1/2" hex bolt and 1/4" Nylock nut. Tighten both

1/4" Nylock nuts that secure the angle stop to the

channel. See figure 8. NOTE: Keep cable and

fitting in alignment with cable mount bracket

when tightening nuts.

ASSEMBLY OF BLADE TO TRACTOR

TO PREPARE TRACTOR:

A. Remove the mower or any other attachment you

may have mounted to your tractor. Mark all loose

parts and save for re-assembly. Refer to tractor

owners manual for instructions on removal of the

mower or attachment.

B. Remove and save both suspension arms, along

with the nuts and washers which fasten them to

the lift link rods. Also remove the 3/8" self-tapping

bolts from each side of the tractor frame as shown

in figure 9. On some tractors the lift link nuts

will be reused to fasten the dozer blade lift

assembly to the lift link rods.

6. Assemble one 5/16-24 hex jam nut onto threaded

end of control cable approximately 3/4" from end.

Assemble threaded cable end through round hole

in cable mount bracket and secure with another

5/16-24 hex jam nut. See figure 7.

12. Assemble a lift rod trunnion (facing in) to each lift link

rod using either a, b or c:

a. two 7/16-20 hex jam nuts (48" mower decks)

b. a 3/8-16 Nylock nut and the original lock

nut you removed earlier (models before 1995).

c. a 3/8-24 hex jam nut and the original lock nut

you removed earlier (all other models)

The correct nuts will screw on easily. Tighten nuts so

that one thread of rod extends past bottom nut.

10. Assemble a frame bracket to the outside of the

tractor frame under the left foot rest. Use two 3/8"

x 1-1/4" hex bolts, two 3/8" lock washers and four

short spacers. Use two spacers on each bolt,

between the frame bracket and the tractor frame.

Use only one spacer on the rear bolt if it goes

through a sway bar bracket. See figure 15.

11. Assemble the lift pivot plate to the inside of the

frame bracket using two 3/8" x 3/4" clevis pins and

two small hairpin cotters. See figure 15.
