Spread ends of bumper enough to fit slots onto bolts •

The bumper has three mounting holes. The rear

holes provide a neater appearance. Use a hole
that provides enough clearance for hood to stay in
raised position when opened. Insert a carriage bolt
and washer through tractor frame and into desired
mounting hole on each side of bumper and secure
with a whizlock nut.
IMPORTANT: Before fully tightening nuts, be sure
tractor hood will stay in raised position when opened.
