Use figure 2 to help identify the mounting holes for
Sea_s tractor frames For other brand tractors, identify
the two mounting holes by placing a frame bracket
against the tractor frame in front of the front axle and
finding two holes in the tractor frame that align with
two of the holes in the frame bracket. The bracket can
be flipped over to reverse the hole pattern. Refer also
to time illustrations on page 9.
Remove any bolts found in the mounting holes.
On Sears tractors, remove the browning shield from
the front of the tractor as shown.
