BEFORE YOU START TO ASSEMBLE THE GRASS CATCHER
Some tractor models may need minor modifi cations before you can mount the grass catcher to the tractor.  
Look carefully at the drawbar on your tractor and compare to the illustrations below.  If your drawbar looks 
like STYLE "A" (has the upper corner ribs), your tractor is ready - proceed with the grass catcher assembly.  
If your drawbar looks like STYLE "B" (does not have the upper corner ribs), go to the PREPARATION 
section in this manual.
