it to the upper chute crank rod with the
¾-inch cotter
pin provided. See Figure 14.
5. Fasten the chute tilt cables to the chute directional
control with the three cable ties provided. Pull the
cable ties until they’re snug and trim off any excess.
Routing the Upper Drive Belt
1. Make sure that the “V” side of the upper drive belt is
seated firmly in the upper portion of the double
pulley found in the rear of the undercarriage
assembly.
2. Route the opposite end of the upper drive belt
around the engine pulley, to the INSIDE of the belt
keeper pins found on either side of the engine
pulley.
3. Place the tractor’s lift lever in the lowest reachable
engagement notch.
4. Hook one end of the extension spring provided into
the hole on the left side of the undercarriage idler
bracket’s surface, just to the rear of the belt keeper.
See Figure 15

extension spring to a hole in the tractor’s left frame
rail. See Figure 15.
