INSTALLING CLUTCH/IDLER ASSEMBLY

This section covers the installation of the Clutch/Idler
assembly to tractors with attachment clutches that are
either rod operated (p. 15), cable operated (p. 17) or
electric (p. 19). Use the appropriate instructions for your
tractor.

ROD OPERATED MANUAL ATTACHMENT CLUTCH

STEP 29: (SEE FIGURE 29)
• Move the attachment clutch lever on the dash panel to

the disengaged (down) position.

• Screw the trunnion (CC) onto the end of the snow

thrower engagement rod.

• Locate the clutch arm (where the mower clutch rod

was connected) underneath the right hand side the
tractor, just to the inside of the suspension arm.

If

there is an extension attached to the clutch lever, the
extension, bolt and nut must be removed and stored
with the mower deck.
IMPORTANT: Re-attach the extension to the clutch
lever before reinstalling the mower deck.

• Position the engagement rod to the inside of the

clutch arm and insert the drilled end of the rod
through the arm. Secure with a 5/64" hairpin cotter
(DD).
