A. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DECK
INSTALLATION OF DECK
WARNING
Before installing the mower deck, place the
PTO switch in the “OFF” position, engage the
brake pedal lock, turn the ignition key to the
“OFF” position and remove the key from the
switch. Disconnect the spark plug wires for
additional safety. When handling the mower
deck, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp
blades.
1. Position the tractor and mower deck on a firm,
level surface.
2. Position the deck on the right side of the tractor
with the front of the deck facing toward the front of
the tractor (Refer to Figure 27).
NOTE: Turning the steering wheel as you maneuver
the deck under the tractor can help in positioning the
deck beneath the tractor.
Figure 27
CAUTION
To avoid possible equipment damage, make
sure that the tractor implement lift handle is
raised to its highest setting.
3. Raise the tractor implement lift handle to its
highest setting and slide the deck under the
tractor. Make sure the slot in each rear deck
bracket aligns with the implement lift link on each
side of the tractor (See Figure 28).
Figure 28
NOTE
If installing the deck on a new tractor, cut the
cable tie used to hold the front lift rod up during
shipment. Then proceed to step 8.
4. Refer to Figure 29 to ensure the correct
orientation of the front lift rod/bracket assembly
[the form (bend) in sides of rod point downward].
From the front of the tractor, push downward and
hold the tractor quick-attach rod. Slide the
shoulder bolts on each side of the front lift rod/
bracket assembly fully into the left and right
tractor latch receivers.
