HITCHING MOWER TO TRACTOR
Attach mower to drawbar only.
A & C MODELS ONLY
§ Drawbar should be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the center line of the
draw pin hole to end of PTO shaft. This is critical for proper PTO shaft
operation. (A & C MODELS ONLY)
§ Adjust hitch or drawbar so mower frame (Item #1, Page 33) is at the most
level position in relation with the ground. This will ensure proper flotation of
the wing decks.
Safety chain must always be attached to towing vehicle.
When towing mower on any roadways, lock brakes together. Use proper lighting
and marking devices according to the local regulations.
NOTE: If the three-point hitch is attached to tractor, be sure it will not contact any
part of the mower when making sharp turns. Mount the hose support bracket so the
large access hole is directly over the grease fitting on the hanger bearing. The hose
support rod may have to be bent back slightly to clear the three point hitch arms.
