Step 1. Place the top right axle bracket (#1) on top of the right axle. Align the two holes of the
axle bracket with the holes of the tractor axle. Place right tractor fender on top of axle bracket,
align all holes. Insert two axle bolts (B3) down through the fender and axle bracket bolt holes
(head of bolt will be on top) and through the holes of the tractor axle. These bolts must be
minimum Grade 5 and have the appropriate markings.

Step 2. Align and install the bottom right axle bracket (#2) to the bottom of the tractor axle using
the two-hole bolt pattern of the axle bracket and the two bolts inserted in step 1. If needed, align
and install the bottom right lower link support bracket to the bottom of the axle bracket (for the
draw bar link). Install lock washers (W1) and nuts (N2) to axle bolts (B3). Tighten bolts and
nuts until axle brackets are “snug tight” to axle.
Step 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the left tractor axle using left top axle bracket (#3), left bottom
axle bracket (#4), corresponding bolts (B3), lock washers (W1) and hex nuts (N2).
