5.1 Connecting the Mower Tongue to the Tractor
1.
Ensure the tractor is equipped with the correct 
PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at the correct 
length.
2.
Using the parking jack, position the tongue clevis 
to the height of the tractor drawbar.  Adjust the 
mower tongue clevis to be level and parallel with 
the tractor drawbar using the control rod con-
necting the mower tongue clevis to the deck.
3.
Board the tractor and start the engine.  Back the 
tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar hitch 
hole with the mower tongue clevis.  Turn off the 
tractor engine, place the tractor in park, and set 
the parking brake before dismounting.
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” flatwash-
ers (2) between the bottom of drawbar and bot-
tom lip of clevis to fill open space.  Insert a 1” 
diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt (3) through clevis and 
drawbar and retain in position with a 1” locknut 
(4).  Tighten the locknut securely but do not over-
tighten which could spring or break the clevis.  
NEVER attach mower to the tractor with a pin not 
having a nut.
5.
Securely attach the mower safety chain to the 
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.
5. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor.  The mower should be securely resting at
ground level or setting on blocks.  Keep hands and feet from under the mower deck and clear of pinch points
between the tractor hitch arms and mower pins.  OPS-R-0001
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
