STEP 2:

(SEE FIGURE 2)

•

Remove the tractor hood. Refer to your tractor owners

manual for instructions on how to properly remove

the hood.

• Remove the browning shield from the front of the

tractor as shown. Hold onto the shield as you remove

begin assembling

until the tractor engine, mufﬂ er and exhaust

deﬂ ector have been allowed to cool off.

STEP 1:

(SEE FIGURE 1)

• Look under the front of your tractor. If there is a single

mower deck suspension bracket located underneath

the middle of the front axle, continue on to step 2. If

your tractor does not have a mower deck suspension

bracket underneath the middle of the front axle, skip

to step 5 on page 7 for tractors with dual suspension

brackets.
