1.Identify and locate the frame rail It will be easier to install the sub-frame before the pump,
driveshaft and tank, it will be easier to align the front mounting bolts of the sub-frame. T wo Wheel Drive
Tractors use different sub-frame than the four wheel drive tractor, The sub-frame must match the
tractor as they will not interchange. To determine if you have the correct sub-frame check the measurement shown (See Figure 1 & 2)
2.Remove RH Side S teps. The steps on the RH side of the tractor will be removed and not used
so as not to interfere with the clearance of the mower head. The factory toolbox (if equipped) will need
to be removed also for clearance. It will be dealer and/or customers choice on where and wether the
toolbox can be remounted somewhere else for use, it is up to you..
3.Rear Draw Bar Bracket Removed The rear draw bar bracket will need to be removed as this
is where the rear section of the sub-frame will connect to the rear axle of the tractor.
4.Install Frame Rail to Tractor. The frame rail (Figure 1 or 2) will be slid under the tractor on the
RH side (See Figure 3). Make certain the plastic plugs have been removed from tractor frame, at the
front bolster and the center ones at the rear axle.. Do NOT tighten the frame mounting bolts until all the
bolts have been installed as frame will need to be moved slightly for alignment as the bolts are installed.
The frame can be installed by balancing the frame on a floor jack, if using this method it is recommended two people perform this to prevent the frame from falling. Raise the frame up to the tractor
frame (See Figure 3),
5.Raise the frame rail up under the tractor . Raise sub-frame under tractor until the rear mounting
plate is under the rear axle and aligned with the bolt holes that did mount the draw bar bracket to the
rear axle. Using the jack raise the frame up until it is against the rear axle housing. Install the new bolts,
nuts, lockwashers, flatwashers and the axle strap (See Figure 1, 2, 3 & 4).
6.Start The Rear frame Rail Bolts. The bolts in the
rear of the sub-frame should be started but not tightened, this will allow the frame to be moved around to
align the front bolts (See Figure 4.
7.Frame Rail Front Mounting Bolts. Install the front
frame rail mounting bolts (See Figure 5). The front subframe bolts will bolt to the front bolster behind the tank.
There are 4 2" log spacers that are installed between
the frame and bolster. Do not tighten the bolts until all
the bolts are installed in frame rail. Leave floor jack and/
or stands under frame rail until completely mounted (See
Figure 5).
