This cool mount could save your chainsaw!
What happens here
To install the SawHaul chainsaw carrier on a John Deere tractor, first identify a suitable and sturdy mounting location on the tractor's frame, ensuring it will not interfere with any moving parts or controls. Using a DeWalt cordless drill with an appropriate drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes through the chosen spots on the tractor's metal surface. After drilling, take the long, flat mounting plate and align its holes with the newly drilled holes. Secure this plate to the tractor using the provided bolts and nuts. Next, attach the two smaller square mounting brackets to the mounting plate. Finally, use a ratchet wrench to firmly tighten all the bolts and nuts, ensuring the entire assembly is stable and secure.
Goal: Securely attach the SawHaul carrier's main mounting hardware to the John Deere tractor.
