I had one many years ago.If I remember right there is set of hooks on the front of the tractor and a cross bar on the deck.You slide the crossbar into the front bracket and the hooks come down over the cross bar to hold it in place.There should be 2 L brackets that pivot down over the hooks to keep them from going up and letting it fall back out.Then you hook the lift rods up to the scissor lift under the belly of the tractor.You may have to go to the back of the tractor and there will be a chain sticking out of a slot.Count the links on the chain and then lift it out of the slot.There will be spring tension on the chain!!This will allow you to pull down the scissor lift to hook up the deck lift.Once the deck is pinned,slide the pto shaft on under the tractor until you can see through the small hole in the yoke.Put a spring pin(hairpin?)through the hole to retain the pto yoke.Go to the back of the tractor and pull the chain out the number of links you previously counted and slide it down into the slot.(this is the anti scalp part that helps the deck float better-more links more float)I think you are ready to mow.I hope I remembered it correctly.(Seems I cant remember much if it happened more than 4 hours ago.LOL) Moline
