The grille guard would need to be removed. As with most sears attachments the first time is always the hardest. The actual mounting isn't too bad, but installing the brackets, figuring out the different screw sizes, and reading the manual is what takes the time. To remove it and reinstall is actually easy, since the brackets can stay on with the mower deck. So most of the installation is a one time only thing. Another thing that would make it quicker would be to order two more lift links and the special nuts so you could just remove the cotter keys and swap out the links rather than take the nuts on and off.

Gotta say, I really got spoiled with my bolens tubeframes. You can switch things back and forth in seconds!

Sixchows,

We sure were close the other night when we started to install the blade. We both thought it didn't make any sense to remove the mower brackets that were bolted on. After all, every thing else attached with pins and clips. After I gave the directions to the neighbor it only took him 15 minutes on the floor to get the rig attached and on its way.

To say the least, the neighbor had a great time playing with his new toy. He must had spent 6hrs. on that thingt plowin the street, a couple neighbors drives, walks for his dogs and anything he though need to be clear of that 8" snow we got.

Thanks
Have a GREAT CHRISTMAS!!

Kevin

Looks to be an updated version. The only difference I see are the tabs on the L & R frame brackets have been removed.
