Cutting Deck Removal
1. Place the PTO/Blade Engage lever in the disengaged (OFF)
position and engage the parking brake.
2. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
3. Locate the engine pulley under the front of your tractor.
See Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1
4. Remove the belt guard and belt as follows. Refer to Figure
7-1:
a. Remove the hex screws.
b. Pull the belt keeper rod to the right and down to
remove.
c. Remove the deck belt from around the tractor’s
engine pulley.
NOTE: If there is too much tension on the belt for it to be
easily removed from the engine pulley, carefully insert
a ⁄” drive ratchet wrench (set to loosen) into the square
hole found in the deck idler bracket and pivot it toward the
tractor’s left side to relieve tension on the belt. See Figure
7-2.
Figure 7-2
WARNING! Avoid pinching injuries. Never place
your fingers on the idler spring or between the belt
and a pulley while removing the belt.
5. Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the tractor,
locate the deck support pin on the rear left side of the
deck.
