NOTE: Not all of the parts in the deck adapter hardware
package will be used for any one particular fit up.
• Remove the mower discharge deflector from your
mower deck. Save the deflector and hardware for

FITTING TO SEARS TRACTORS
The yellow fold out sheet contains the templates for
Sears tractors only. (The white fold out sheets include all
templates, including other tractor brands.)
/fyou have a Murray brand tractor with a 38", 40" or 46"
deck, go directly to the instructions on pages 16 and 17.
Identify and cut out the template for your brand and
size mower deck. If there is no template included for
your deck size, you can make your own template by
marking around a piece of cardboard held against the
edge of the deck's discharge opening.
• FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON THE
TEMPLATE. If there are no instructions, use the
following instructions as a general guide.
Tape the template to the face of the adapter, about
1/2" from front and 1/4" down from top for deeper
decks. For shallow decks, position template low
enough that adapter will not extend below bottom of
deck. Mark outline of template on face of adapter
using white crayon, nail or scriber. Drill a starting
hole inside the outline, then use a saber saw or key
hole saw to cut out the opening. See figure 22.
1/4" MINIMUM
Cut out as close to top
edge as possible without
causing adapter to extend
below bottom of deck.

Holding the adapter bracket and the deck adapter
together, position the deck adapter on the mower
deck. Keeping the edge of deck adapter as close as
possible to the offset in the adapter bracket, see if
the slot in the adapter bracket can be aligned with
one or two of the deflector holes in your mower
deck's discharge opening. If the bracket can not be
located correctly using existing holes, it will be
necessary to drill one or two 5/16" diameter holes in
the deck. See figure 24.
Use existing holes or drill 5/16"
diameter hole or holes.
