WARNING!: Engage the tractor parking brake,
stop the tractor engine and remove the key to
safely install the mower deck.
Installing Subframe and Lift Bracket Assemblies
NOTE: The RH and LH subframe assemblies can be installed
without removing the rear wheels. But limited space to remove
and reinstall fasteners makes it more difficult and increases the
possibility of an improper installation. It is recommended that the
respective rear wheel be removed from that side of the tractor
when installing the RH or LH subframe assembly.
WARNING!: When raising any part of the tractor
from the ground, use appropriate jack stands to
support the tractor. Do not work on the tractor
when supported only by a lifting jack.
Installing RH Subframe and RH Lift Bracket Assemblies
• Use a jack to raise the right rear of the tractor so that the tire
is off of the ground. Position a jack stand to support the trac-
tor. Remove the right rear tire from the tractor and roll aside.
• If a lower hitch link sway spring is installed between the two
lift links of the 3-point hitch, unhook the chain from the links.
• Remove the klik pin from the end of lower hitch link pin.
While supporting the sway chain clevis links, slide the link pin
inward (to the left) to disengage the pin from the two clevis
links and the hitch link pin support bracket. See Figure 4.

• Continue to slide the hitch link pin to the left to remove the
spacers and disengage the RH lower hitch link. See Figure 4.
• Remove the four screws (3 short and 1 long) securing the
hitch link pin support bracket to the tractor's RH rear axle
housing and remove the support bracket. Retain the four
screws and discard (or store) the bracket and spacers.
• Position the RH subframe assembly (1) along the right side of
the tractor.
• Loosen, but do not remove the four hex flange lock nuts and
screws securing the subframe mounting bracket to the plate
on the front of the subframe rail. Refer to Figure 5.

• Locate the three holes in a triangular pattern on the tractor's
clutch housing. Remove the protective plugs from the lower
two holes. Refer to Figure 5.
• Raise the front of the RH subframe assembly and align its two
upper holes with the two lower holes of the clutch housing.
Insert the two hex cap screws(4) and thread into the clutch
housing. Do not fully tighten now. Refer to Figure 5.
• ONLY If the RH Loader Mount is installed. Remove the two
lower screws fastening the rear of the loader mount to the
tractor clutch housing. Align the upper holes of the RH loader
adapter bracket (installed on RH subframe assembly earlier)
with the loader mount holes. Insert the longer hex screws(5)
and thread into the clutch housing. Do not fully tighten now.
Scrap (or store for possible future use) the screws removed
from the loader mount.
