Nothing to it. Remove drawbar from tractor and back up to mower. There will be or needs to be a chain going from the lift mechanism on the mower. This hooks to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder on tractor and raises the bar as the rest of the mower is being lifted by the fast hitch.

thanks george . i was a little lost until i studied what you said and looking at the tractor and mower . i take it the idea is to attach a chain to the lift mechanism and to a stationary point on the tractor and as the hitch is raised it rotates the lifting shaft to raist the blade. is this what happpens right now i have the mower temporally on my 300 U and doesn't look like the bottom of the lift cylinder would be the place to attach the chain . i just picked up this mower yesterday and it was from a super C . i removed the lifting rod for the super c . is the axle clamp on the right side of the mower necessary on the 240 U or 300 U ? before i attempt to use the mower i want to go over it and adjust and check things out . the bar has a bow in it . placing a 4 foot straight edge on the back side of the bar from the inner side out there is about a 1/2 inh bow in the bar at the 22 inch point . is this accptable ? hope you don't mind me picking your brain for info . i have a parts list and operator's manual but there are unanwsered questions . i remember the horse drawn mower my uncle used on my grandfthers farm back in te 30' and after WW 2 a allis charmers tractor he bought after he got out of he army

I suspect the hitch is different on your 300, but the 240 has the traction control hitch, which does have a place to mount the chain right on the bottom of the cylinder. I am not to sure about that axle bracket. I do know that they were on these mowers, but the one I have has never had it. It was on dads 230. He no longer uses it so I run it on a Super C. I think that bracket is just a position stop to keep you from lowering it to much, but not sure. As for the bow it may be OK, but straighter is better. I have 2 or 3 that do have a slight bow in them and they work OK.
