auto connect midmower drive instructions

[fadzaev2]

I bought an X734 John Deere last summer.....the deck is a 60", and the auto-connect unit was an "add-on"......I got no instructions on what to do with it in the fall when you disconnect to install front PTO driveshaft for the snowblower. I did decide to not only disconnect it, but remove it for winter.....would be nice to have the instructions w/photos on how to re-install it in the Spring ....can anyone help?

Bummer. Should have a manual with the deck. They can be purchased on line, or at your Deere dealer.

it's hard to find these instructions. removing the auto pto is a good option,
but it can be done without.
there is a hook on the right front side of the transmission that you can hang
the auto connect pto shaft on to get it out of the way of the snowblower front
pto shaft


then there is supposed to be a small "C" clip to hold the lift arm assembly up tight
to the tractor frame . (you can also use the highest mower setting)
this "C" clip is on the left side , outside, of the frame just in front of the left rear
tire. it should have a small pin with a circle ring on it to pin it to the frame once it's
holding the lift linkage up.
(sorry i don't have a picture of that)

Maybe he should move to Climax or ****. We've got lots of good town names in Michigan.

I have the manual for the deck....not much there.....the auto connect was an add on, not with the deck

Don't know what a tambourine thumper is, but proud to live in Temperance, MI., and to have taught/coached at Bedford Public Schools, 11 time state champions in wrestling, and 3 time state champions in volleyball.
