lever on the coupler.
Before assembling and connecting this
accessory to your machine, turn the engine
off, remove the key, and remove the spark
plug wire from the engine.
-Note-
When performing steps 5 through 8 keep in
mind that the (3) three tie rods will have
one end that has RH threads and one end
that has LH threads.
1. Remove all crating and packing materials.
Lay out the mounting hardware according to
the “where used” list on page 5.
2. Bolt the hitch bracket onto the rear of the
engine deck using (3) three 3/8-16 x 1-1/4"
bolts and (3) three 3/8-16 elastic stop nuts.
The bolts must be installed from the inside
facing out.
Included in the hardware package are:
l (3) three LH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20
ball joints.
l (3) three LH threaded 1/2-20 jam
nuts.
l (2) two RH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20
ball joints.
-Note-
If you are mounting the hitch bracket to an
older machine with only two holes on
the rear of the engine deck, you may use the
hitch bracket to locate the third hole.
Bolt the hitch bracket to the existing two
holes and mark the third hole using a
center punch. Unbolt the hitch bracket and
drill a 13/32" hole at the mark for the
third hole. You are now ready to mount the
hitch bracket.
l (1) one RH threaded 5/8 x 1/2-20
ball joint.
l (3) three RH threaded 1/2-20 jam
nuts.

onto (2) two LH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball
joints.
7. Screw (2) two RH threaded 1/2-20 jam nuts
onto the (2) two RH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20
balljoints.
3. Mount the hitch ball onto the hitch bracket
using the 3/4" lock washer and the 3/4"-16
hex nut.
8. There are three tie rods included in the sulky
assembly. The two shorter ones are the
wheel tie rods and the longer one is the
steering tie rod.

spindles. Place the 1" wheel spacers onto the
wheel spindles, and install the "E" clip on to
each of the wheel spindles.
9. Screw the (2) two LH 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball
joints with jam nuts into the LH threaded
ends of the wheel tie rods. Screw the RH
1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints with jam nuts into the
other wheel tie rod ends.
-Note-
There will be more wheel spacers in the
hardware package than you will use. Install
the appropriate sized wheel spacers onto the
wheel spindle to remove the back and forth
movement of the wheel assemblies with the
“E” clip installed.

the steering bellcrank located in the center of
the sulky frame. Place the other end of the
tie rod coming from the right wheel below
the larger lever of the steering bellcrank.

joints against the tie rod ends to prevent
turning of the ball joints on the tie rods.
15. Screw the remaining LH and RH threaded
1/2-20 jam nuts onto the remaining two ball
joints.
12. Bolt one end of a wheel tie rod above the
lever on the left wheel spindle. Place a 1/2"

against the tie rod ends to prevent turning of
the ball joints on the tie rods.
-Note-
A final adjustment may be required on the
tie rods for the sulky wheels to be aligned
straight with the SWZ machine and to have
proper toe-in adjustment. To adjust the tie
rods, loosen the two jam nuts and turn the
tie rod tube to lengthen or shorten the tie
rod. Retighten jam nuts.
18. Connect the 1/2 x 1/2-20 end of the steering
tie rod to the small lever on the steering
bellcrank. Place a 1/2" spacer between the
ball joint and steering lever and secure using
a 1/2-13 x 2" bolt and a 1/2-13 elastic stop
nut.
24. The two sulky wheels should have a 1/16"
toe-in adjustment. To make this adjustment,
adjust the two wheel tie rods.
19. Mount the 5/8 x 1/2-20 end of the tie rod to
the pin on the hitch bracket and secure with
the small quick pin.

the sulky attached. If the sulky does not
track straight behind the mower, you must
adjust the streeing rod so that the wheels are
even with the mower.

spring above the sulky frame and mount the
lower support plate below the sulky frame.

(2) two 7/16" flat washer and (2) two 7/16-
14 elastic stop nuts.
-Note-
For operator comfort the handles on the
SWZ should be raised to the highest
position. Refer to the SWZ's technical
manual for this adjustment.
-Note-
There are extra bolt holes to choose from
when mounting the seat spring to the sulky
frame and mounting the seat and seat plate
to the seat spring. Choose the ones that
will provide the most comfort for the
individual users.
-Note-
To move the sulky when not attached to the
mower, you must lock the wheels in a
forward position. The wheels can be
locked in the forward position by inserting
the ring pin through the holes in the sulky
frame and the steering bellcrank.
