tractor frame, lower the mower deck to the ground or
disconnect it from the front brackets before removing
any bolts from the tractor frame.

Front mower suspension brackets for both GT and LT

bracket to help identify the correct mounting holes.

• Lower the mower deck to the ground.

• Remove bolts on both sides of the tractor from
two holes shown in figure 2.

• Insert a pivot bushing into the rear hole in the
bumper. Align the rear hole in the bumper with

the middle hole in the L.H. mounting bracket and
assemble a 3/8" x 1-1/2" hex bolt, a 3/8" lock
washer and a 3/8" flat washer. Repeat on the

R.H. side, then tighten both bolts. See figure 4.

place of the hex bolt if there was no bolt in the
front hole in the tractor frame and the hole is too
small.

• Insert a 3/8" x 1" clevis pin into the front hole in

brackets. Secure the clevis pins with 3/32" hair

hole using a 3/8" x 1" hex bolt, a 3/8" lock

washer and a 3/8" flat washer. Align the middle
