Mount Assembly on Tractor
Install mounting assembly onto 900 Series tractors as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting assembly over the
shoulder bolts, as in Figure 4-5, on the tractor and line up
the hitch support bracket center hole with the hole on the
tractor's hitch.
2. Install the clevis pin (711-309A) from hardware pack 689-
00328A into the tractor's hitch and secure with a hairpin clip
(714-0117). See Figure 4-6.
Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch
plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it
may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch
plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.
Insert the hairpin clip into the top hole, closest to the head
of the pin. You may need to push up on the pin to make the
hole accessible.
Note: If you decided to leave the hitch support only
finger tight during the assembly process, tighten all of the
hardware securely at this time.
