Check the rear mounting arrangement

Confirm that your mower's accessory guide calls for the 588971201 reference, then compare the rear mounting points with both plates. Check hole positions, the slot and clearance around any equipment already fitted at the rear. The MZ or M-ZT family name and deck width alone do not confirm the mounting arrangement.

Plate dimensions, hole diameters and spacing, bolt thread sizes and installation torque are not supplied for this replacement. The installation photo illustrates a rear mounting area, but does not provide a complete assembly sequence. Use the instructions for your particular machine to establish plate position and fastener placement.

Match the hitch to the permitted use

Husqvarna's original 588971201 hitch-kit page describes selected tow-behind attachments and limits that application to flat ground. Check your mower and attachment manuals for their towing conditions and limits before choosing equipment to connect.

No tow-load or vertical-load rating has been provided for this replacement kit. The 588971201 reference identifies the bracket arrangement; it does not establish original Husqvarna manufacture or a permitted trailer weight.
