It covers pre-season greasing of PTO zerks and pulleys, cleaning out the deck covers, driving the tractor over the mower, connecting the three-point hookup arms, PTO shaft, and stabilizer bar. Best for B2601 owners installing this specific mower for the first time.

Grease the PTO and pulleys, clean out the deck covers, drive the tractor over the mower, then connect the hookup arms, PTO shaft, and stabilizer bar.
The PTO shaft zerk, the zerks on each universal joint, the pulley zerks for each blade, and the zerk on the belt tightener lever.
Place chocks on the front of the mower, position the ramps behind the black patches, then drive the tractor over the mower using four-wheel drive.
Squeeze the spring-loaded locking mechanism to slide the PTO shaft on, then slide the stabilizer bar into the deck grooves and lock it with the locking pin.
