        109
      • 2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lowering the mower.

        109
      • 3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift arms positioned between the respective set of mower A-frame lift lugs.

        109
      • 4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.

        109
      • 5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

        109
      • 6. Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.

        109
      • 7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end hole with the holes of the mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

        109

          112
        • 5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for manipulation of its length. Shortening or extending will allow for deck leveling from side to side.

          112
        • 6. Securely block up the mower at this height.

          112
        • 7. Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam positioning bracket to the support brackets and allow the tailwheel to rest at ground level. Align beam and positioning brackets holes with closest set of holes in support brackets and reinstall bolts s...

          112
        • 8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that when lifting the mower, the front of the deck will raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel leaves the ground. This will allow the mower to follow the contour of uneven terrain.
