1.

Make sure the tractor is equipped with the 

correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is 
extended 14” from the PTO shaft end for a 
540 RPM mower and 16” for a 1000 RPM 
unit.

2.

Block the mower wheels in place and use the 

attached parking jack to raise or lower the 
tongue clevis to the height of the tractor draw-
bar. The parking jack can be rotated 15 
degrees in each direction to obtain a near 
vertical position. Note: Always place jack foot 
on firm surface or place board under jack for 
support.

3.

Board the tractor and start the engine. Back 

the tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar 
hitch hole with the mower hitch clevis. Turn 
off the tractor engine, set the parking brake, 
place the tractor in park, and dismount.     

4.

To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers 

(1) positioned under top lip of tongue clevis 
and to the top of drawbar.   Add additional 1” 
flatwashers (2) between the bottom of draw-
bar and bottom lip of clevis to fill open space. 
Insert a 3/4” x 4-1/2” grade 5 or 8 bolt (3) 
through clevis and drawbar and retain in posi-
tion with a 1” locknut (4). The bolt and locknut 
should be tightened securely to support the 
tongue properly without springing or breaking 
the clevis. Never attach mower to the tractor 
with a pin not having a nut.

5.

Securely attach mower safety chain to tractor 

drawbar or drawbar support frame.

6.

Lower the jack until the tongue is completely 

supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from 
the tongue and place on storage bracket of mower main frame.

7.

If using a hydraulic cylinder, connect hydraulic hose ends into tractor hydraulic ports.

8.

If the mower has been attached to a 3-point hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link check 

chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from swaying side to side. Note: 
Never raise the 3-point lift with the mower attached as catastrophic driveline damage will occur.
