INSTALLING THE ATTACHMENT PIN

11. Lift the front of the snow blower to align the holes

in the mounting plates and the side plates. From

the left side of the tractor install the attachment pin

through the holes, securing it with the 1/8" hairpin

cotter. Refer back to figure 29 on page 15.

SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION

12. Pull the tensioning chain until the end of the spring

is pulled through the hole in the side of the Clutch/

Idler assembly. Install the 1/8" hairpin cotter

through the end of the spring, securing it on the

outside of the Clutch/Idler assembly. See figure 32.

IMPORTANT:

  For correct belt tension, the 1/8"

hairpin cotter 

must attach

 to the end of the spring,

not

 to the chain.

Hold this drawing above you while viewing the

Clutch/Idler Assembly from underneath the

tractor. Right and left in the drawing will be the
