How to install a 48" plow on your tractor, this assumes that the mower deck and mule drive are already removed.

FIRST lay the plow on the ground in front of the tractor with the angle handle detached.

SECOND roll the tractor over the plow until the engagement rod is just below the rear axle hitch. Be sure that while moving you move the angle handle out from under the tractor. Lift the rear of the plow into the hitch and lock it in.

THIRD lower the lift handle and install the lift rod into the lift bar. Reattach the angle handle using some grease on the piviot points.

That's all there is. I love how easy attachments are with these Horses...

I guess I cheat (or I'm just lazy ohmy.gif ) when I put my blade on. I just run the right front tire up on the right side of the A frame (coming in from a slight left angle) and when the front tire gets to the angle lever, I cut the wheels hard left and then back to the right to go around it. (you can lay a block of wood in the space where the tire drops in to the gap in the A frame) That way I don't have to take the angle lever off.
Sometimes I even do that with mower decks -- block it from moving and drive right up over the back of it. whtractor/hide.gif

Any tips/ways to keep the rear from coming undone. A couple of times the rear on the right side came undone while plowing.

Zieg, there should be a hole near each latch. After the blade is installed, put a cotter pin in each hole to keep it from loosening.

Eldon,
My rear attachment bracket does NOT have a hole on the lever. I thought about seeing if there was enough room to drill one, or maybe safety wire the lever or wire tie it. whtractor/hide.gif
