1. removed old gear box & chute. Replaced chute (easy) just slips on in place of old one.
2. attached new gear box (easy) one bolt with wing nut & one bolt with cotter pin.
3. Lined up chute & gear box to fit (medium) had to undo gear box cotter pin/bolt & loosen other bolt & quite a bit of wriggling and a few mallet taps.
... Read morer />4. Put shoulder screw through gear box and fasten flange lock nut (very hard). it is dam near impossible as it has to line up perfectly. there is a washer inside the chute cavity & a very hard to get to slide in for the flange lock nut. Much tinkering with loosening everything to get the bolt to go down far enough & line up for the lock nut to get hold of a thread.

I do not have kind thoughts for the engineering of this setup.
5. Attached gear box cable to trigger handle.(hard) disassemble trigger handle & place collar of cable onto holder & then end of cable on to sliding piece while replacing trigger back into place & then put handle back together.

Get help with this it\'ll be much easier.
I am not overly mechanically inclined, perhaps someone more so would have an easier job of it.
Installed new screws and nuts. The really good part, though, is how easy it was to find exactly what I needed. Instead of trying to match what I needed from the thousands of screws and nuts in a hardware store, I simply used your diagram of my mower and the rest was child\'s play. You take the guesswork out of buying replacement parts!

2. Unscrew and remove wheel nuts and wheels.
