Install bracket assembly to the 

tractor’s lower frame with two 

capscrews (710-0376). See

Hang adapter bracket assembly 

onto upper frame tube and connect 

to hitch bracket adapter with two 

screws (710-0376), two cup washers 

(736-0242) and two flange lock nuts 

(712-04063). See Figure 5.

NOTE:

Make sure the adapter bracket is 

seated firmly on the upper tube frame.
