Things You'll Need
Wrench set
Craftsman tractor
Compatible snow blade
Nuts and bolts packaged with snow blade
Manuals for the Craftsman tractor and snow blade
Ensuring 'Fit'
Make sure the snow blade will fit your specific model of Craftsman tractor. Not all snow blades are compatible with each Craftsman tractor's front mount.
Lay the screws and bolts that came with the snow blade on a flat mat. This will allow you to identify and reach them during the installation process.
Position the snow blade on the front of the tractor frame. The back of the snow blade will have a bracket with holes on each side that will align perfectly with holes on the front frame of the tractor. Have a friend insert the three to four bolts that attach each side of the snow blade bracket to the tractor frame.
Tighten the nuts on the bolts.
