Figure 4-3 Figure 4-4  Attaching The Blades And Discharge Chute 5 Attaching The Blades Remove the blades from your tractor’s cutting deck as follows: 1. Remove the cutting deck from beneath the tractor, (refer to Deck Removal in the MAINTENANCE section of your tractor’s operator’s manual for detailed instructions) then gently flip the deck over to expose its underside. 2. Place a block of wood between the cutting edge of the blade and the inner rear of the deck housing to aid in breaking loose the hex flange nut securing each blade. 3. Secure the blade spindle and turn the hex flange nut counterclockwise to loosen and remove the blade from the spindle assembly. NOTE: Your bagger kit includes two sets of blades. One set has round spindle holes and the other set has star spindle holes. To determine which blades your unit utilizes, compare the blades removed with the blades included in your bagger kit. Mount the correct blades for your unit and discard the other blades. 5. After determining the appropriate blade set, mount the SMALLER of the three blades to the CENTER spindle. Install he remaining two blades on the two outside spindles. Be sure to install the blade with the side of the blade marked ‘‘Bottom’’ (or with a part number stamped in it) facing the ground when the rider is in the operating position. 6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade spindle hex flange nut to between 70 and 90 foot-pounds. 7. Remount the cutting deck. Smaller Blade Larger Blades Hex Flange Nut Figure 5-1 NOTE: The hex flange nut has a normal (right-handed) thread pattern. Do NOT attempt to force the nut in the incorrect direction. Doing so may damage the nut and create a safety hazard. NOTE: The retainer strap is factory installed at position A on the discharge chute. However, on older models of tractors, you will have to change the position of the strap depending on the location of the grass catcher pin on the deck. Remove the retainer strap from position A on the discharge chute and move to position B or C corresponding to the position of the grass catcher pin at B or C on the deck. See Figure 5-2. Figure 5-2 1. On older models: Some older model decks may have a retainer clip installed in the positon (near the discharge chute opening) that the new grass catcher pin must be installed.
