What a job doing it for the first time with out a picture and directions to use! Also trying to figure out where the extra parts go and finding out they are for the Plow Set up!! The chain is fun to size and adjust so the lift dose not break it. 3-pulleys for the chain not couting the PTO Pulleys and set up bolted to the hitch. Had to pre/load the spring that helps support the Cutter bar (hope I did that right). When I lower it it goes to about a inch from the ground and the chain that supports the end of the bar holds it level (hope that's right to) when in the lower position. Had to lock the lower lift bars because they would lift when raising the cutter up. It took about 2-hours to figure it out from scratch. Was wondering how I would get it under the tractor but you can just drive up to it turn the wheel and steer over it. Found it was easy to use the cutter bar as a lever to tilt the dash end up into the hook mounts, adjust the bolts up to keep it there and used a floor jack to lift the front up into the bell housing mounts. You guys are probley laughting out loud now, but I think I did good!! I think I could do it faster the next time! It works but dosen't cut the snow to good guess I need grass to test it. Mark H.

I've been there done that also, trial and error. I aquired three of the John Deere video's that feature M and MT tractors working, 1947, 1950, 1951. And I don't know if the video speed is altered, but some shots look as if the operators are cutting hay in 3rd gear. I'd start in second first, but I'm sure the sharpness of your cutter bar may help.
