•

Spread ends of bumper enough to fit slots onto bolts
in rear mounting holes in tractor frame.

•

The bumper has three mounting holes. The rear

hole provides the most clearance while the forward
holes provide a neater appearance. Use a hole that
provides enough clearance for hood to stay in raised
position when opened. Attach the bumper using
either standard hex bolts (B) and hex nuts (D) or self

threading bolts (A) and lock washers (F). Use the self
threading bolts (A) if standard hex bolts (B) do not

insert freely into the hole in the tractor frame.

IMPORTANT:

Before fully tightening bolts, be sure

tractor hood will stay in raised position when opened.
